Version 2.9 takes notes in the language you speak. Record in Your Language YostNotes now detects the language being spoken and transcribes it in that language. Until now, every recording was transcribed as English. German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, and eight more run on our most accurate transcription model, and dozens of other languages are covered too. There is nothing to set: just record. Notes in the Same Language Summaries, key terms, flashcards, and folder summaries now come back in the language of what you recorded or imported. A German lecture gives you German notes, and the same goes for documents, web pages, and pasted text. Ask the chat for a correction in your own language and it answers in kind. The app's menus stay in English for now. Sharper Summaries Summaries, flashcards, and speaker naming now run on Claude Sonnet 5.5, Anthropic's newest Sonnet model. Questions or feedback?

Version 2.8 fixes the two things people told us got in the way — editing a transcript, and adding photos — makes a shared note read the way you would want it to, and upgrades the engine behind every transcript. Sharper Transcription Transcription now runs on AssemblyAI's newest and most accurate model. It should show up most where transcripts usually slip: accents, technical vocabulary, and people talking over each other. Nothing changes in how you record, and notes you have already made keep the transcript they have. A Transcript You Can Actually Edit Fixing a line used to mean a long press on a menu that often did not respond, especially while audio was playing. Now a long press opens the line for editing straight away, the speaker's name is its own tappable chip, and the playback bar steps out of the way while you type. Photos Where You Need Them Share or export a note and your photos now sit with the summary, right where the reader is looking, instead of stranded at the bottom past the whole transcript. Works in HTML, PDF, plain text, and public links, and the option to leave photos out of a public link still does exactly that. Check Speaker Names First Ask for a summary while your transcript still says "Speaker 1" and YostNotes offers to take you to the Transcript tab first. Real names make a noticeably sharper summary. Already named them? The summary just runs. Generate Summary The ••• menu item is now called Generate Summary, which is what it does. Fixed: Add Photos From Library Tapping ••• → Photos → Add photos from library did nothing at all. It now opens your photo library, and you can bring in up to 10 photos at once. Questions or feedback? We read everything and ship fast. Reach us at info@yost.group.

Version 2.7 adds a faster way to capture a note, and makes sure the ones you have already made finish on their own. Paste or Type a Note New Note now has a Paste or Type Note option. Write straight into YostNotes, or paste text from anywhere — meeting notes, an email, an article you want boiled down — and get a summary back. It uses none of your recording minutes. Notes Finish in the Background Stop a recording, then lock your phone or switch apps. YostNotes keeps transcribing and summarising, and lets you know when the note is ready. Never Starts Over If iOS pauses the work to save battery, YostNotes picks up exactly where it stopped rather than transcribing your recording all over again. Steadier Background Behaviour Fixed an issue where YostNotes could be shut down by iOS while it was finishing a note in the background. Questions or feedback? We read everything and ship fast. Reach us at info@yost.group.

Version 2.6 makes recording rock solid — nothing you capture gets lost. Recordings Survive Interruptions A phone call, Siri, or an alarm in the middle of a recording no longer erases what you'd already captured. Recording picks back up when the interruption ends, and every part is saved together in one file. No Accidental Discards Closing the recording screen now asks before deleting captured audio, and the recorder can't be swiped away mid-recording. Your audio only goes away when you say so. Audio Rescue If the system's audio engine ever crashes mid-recording, YostNotes now recovers everything captured so far and keeps recording, instead of losing the session. Top-Ups Where You Expect Them Buying extra minutes now works the same everywhere it's offered — the Settings card, the minutes-left banner, and the record button at the cap all follow one rule, so the option is there whenever you're eligible.

Version 2.5 brings encrypted sync across your devices, action item checklists, and sharper AI. CloudSync Across Your Devices Sign in and your notes, transcripts, summaries, flashcards, and folders sync automatically to every device, including iPhone, iPad, and Android. Edits and deletes flow both ways, so you're always looking at the latest version. End-to-End Encrypted Your notes are encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know, before they ever reach our servers. We store nothing but ciphertext. A one-time recovery key unlocks a new device, audio and photos stay on your device, and signing out leaves your local notes untouched. Tick Off Action Items Action items are now a real checklist. Tap one to check it off. Your progress is saved with the note, syncs to your other devices, and shows up in shared links and PDF exports. Better Speaker Names Summaries now read the transcript with speaker labels attached, so names are matched to the right person far more reliably, and action items get attributed to whoever actually took them on. When there's any doubt, YostNotes keeps the numbered label instead of guessing. Smarter Note Titles Titles are now short, clean names for what you recorded, not a run-on sentence lifted from the summary. Upgraded Chat Edits The Summary chat now runs on Claude Opus, so a correction in your own words is understood the first time. Notes Land in the Right Folder Start a recording or import while you're viewing a folder and the new note is filed there automatically. Questions or feedback? We read everything and ship fast. Reach us at info@yost.group.

This update makes editing your notes faster and the AI corrections rock-solid. RELIABLE CHAT EDITS Ask the Summary chat to fix something—like "Change Ambatom to AION"—and it now applies everywhere that name appears. Corrections are case-insensitive and catch both the full and short forms of a name, so nothing slips through. And if a request ever can't be completed, you'll get a clear reason instead of a generic error. TIDIER NOTE MENU A note's options menu is shorter and easier to scan. Every sharing and export choice—public link, PDF, HTML, plain text, and audio—now lives under a single Share button, and photo actions are grouped under Photos. CLEANER READING VIEW The audio player now appears only on the Transcript tab, giving the Summary and your other tabs more room to breathe. Plus reliability and polish improvements throughout. New to YostNotes? Record lectures and meetings, upload audio files, or drop in a YouTube link, web article, or PDF—and get back a clean transcript and a structured summary. Then study with AI flashcards, organize with folders, generate study guides, and share any note as a link or a print-ready PDF.

Version 2.3 is a polish release. Faster, cleaner, and packed with the fixes you asked for. New features: Instant search redesigned Search now ranks by recency, relevance, and how often you open a note. The first result is usually the right one. Voice notes get chapters Long recordings auto-split into chapters with titles. Jump straight to the section you need. Handwriting on iPad Write with Apple Pencil in any note. Handwriting is searchable alongside typed text. Widget upgrades The daily note widget shows tomorrow's calendar and open tasks. Tap to jump in. Focus mode One key hides sidebars, notifications, and formatting bars. Write without noise. Improved sharing Public share links now include reading time, a table of contents, and a light or dark theme toggle. Bug fixes and improvements: Sync speed improved by 40 percent for notebooks over 5,000 notes PDF annotations no longer duplicate on rare sync conflicts Voice transcription accuracy went up 12 percent in noisy environments Fixed a crash when importing large Markdown archives Keyboard shortcuts on Mac now work while another app is active iPad split view remembers your last layout Search highlights render correctly in dark mode Templates load twice as fast on cold start Fixed a calendar view timezone bug for users near the international date line Web clipper preserves code blocks from GitHub and Stack Overflow AI summaries respect your language setting across all 24 supported languages Daily notes no longer skip days after long trips through multiple timezones Voice notes over 60 minutes now save reliably on low storage devices Restored the Cmd Shift D shortcut for duplicate note on Mac Under the hood: A new sync engine reduces battery use on iPhone by 18 percent. On-device AI models are 30 percent smaller with the same quality output. Startup time dropped from 1.4 seconds to under 800 milliseconds on iPhone 14 and newer. Encrypted backups now finish in half the time. Accessibility: VoiceOver reads note metadata in the order you asked for Larger tap targets in the calendar view New high-contrast theme built for low-vision users Dynamic Type support extended to all editor menus Coming next: We are testing shared team workspaces, offline AI answers, and Windows support. Sign up for the beta from Settings if you want early access. Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming through the in-app Feedback button or at rick@yost.group. Every fix in this release came from a real user request.

Version 2.2 is all about reliability, privacy, and polish. One-tap Retry If a note ever fails to process, tap Retry to pick up right where it left off. No re-recording, and your minutes are never charged twice. More Resilient Processing Long recordings no longer time out. Brief network drops retry automatically once you're back online, and a note can never get stuck mid-processing. Truly Private Sharing Publish a note and turn off the transcript, speaker labels, or photos, and they're now fully excluded from the shared page. Delete a note and its public link comes down with it. App Switcher Privacy Screen With Face ID lock on, your notes stay hidden behind a cover in the iOS app switcher. Faster and Smoother Photo text recognition and Download My Data now run in the background, so the app stays responsive even with a large library. Questions or feedback?
