Bug Fixes Fixed a critical bug where the transcription recording could not be stopped after navigating away from a note. The recording overlay now correctly restores when returning to a note with an active transcription, ensuring users always have access to the stop button and are not left with an orphaned microphone session. Fixed incorrect timing of transcription warning notifications. The "Recording Ending Soon" and other duration warnings were firing at 5, 15, and 30 minutes instead of at the intended 115, 105, and 90 minute marks. Notifications now fire at the correct times relative to the 2-hour maximum recording duration. Fixed the "NOW" live meeting indicator incorrectly appearing on all-day calendar events. Improvements Rich text formatting (bold, italic, underline, text size) now works at the cursor position without requiring a text selection. Previously, users had to select text before applying formatting; now toggling a format at the cursor applies it to subsequently typed text. Underline formatting is now properly preserved when continuing to type after underlined text. Improved AI-generated meeting summaries: action items now only include genuine follow-up commitments, filtering out in-meeting tasks such as test scenarios, exercises, or demonstrations. Key points are more focused and synthesized, reducing duplicate entries. Renamed the "Record" button on meeting rows to "Transcribe" for clarity. New Features Added iCloud sync support via CloudKit. Notes, tags, and projects now sync automatically across devices signed into the same iCloud account. Added automatic tag deduplication to gracefully handle duplicates that may arise from CloudKit sync merges.

What's New in This Version UX Improvements Smarter Keyboard Behavior: New notes now automatically show the keyboard for immediate typing, while existing notes open in a read-first mode—tap to edit when you're ready. Redesigned Formatting Toolbar: Text formatting tools now appear in a convenient toolbar above the keyboard while editing, keeping your content unobstructed and tools within reach. Improved Note List Performance: Notes that have expired no longer briefly appear on app launch before disappearing. The app now loads with the correct state immediately. Clearer Expiration Labels: Notes set to never expire now display "Never" instead of showing large day counts, making it clearer at a glance which notes are permanent. Swipe-to-Delete Notes: Easily delete notes with a full swipe gesture from the note list for faster cleanup. Create Projects On-the-Go: When assigning a note to a project, you can now create a new project directly from the picker without leaving the note editor. Automatic Hashtag Cleanup: Hashtags are automatically removed from the sidebar when all notes containing that tag have expired, keeping your tag list clean and relevant. Better Keyboard Scrolling: Note content now automatically scrolls to keep your cursor visible above the keyboard while typing. App Overview & Permission Usage Orita is a mindful note-taking app designed around the concept of ephemeral notes. Notes naturally "fade" and expire after a set period (1 hour to 1 month), encouraging users to capture thoughts without digital clutter. Important notes can be pinned to prevent expiration. Key Features: Rich text notes with formatting (bold, italic, lists, images) Automatic link previews for URLs Projects and hashtags for organization Meeting transcription with AI-powered summaries Widgets for quick note creation and viewing Intelligent action detection (dates, phone numbers, URLs) Permission Justification: Permission Usage Microphone Required for the "Transcribe Meeting" feature, which records audio for real-time speech-to-text transcription. Users initiate recording manually from within a note. Speech Recognition Works alongside the microphone to convert spoken audio into text during meeting transcription. Apple's on-device speech recognition is used. Calendar Optional. When the app detects dates or appointments mentioned in meeting transcriptions, users can choose to create calendar events directly from the note. Reminders Optional. Detected action items from notes or transcriptions can be saved as reminders with user confirmation. All permissions are requested only when the user initiates the relevant feature, with clear explanations of why access is needed. The app functions fully without granting calendar or reminders access—these enhance the experience but are not required for core note-taking functionality.
