Live Session app v1.0.0: Copy a transcript straight into your notes

You finish a call, and the useful part of it sits in the app while your notes doc sits empty. This build gives you ways to get session content out, plus a first pass over how the app looks and behaves.

Copy and download

Each chat card and the transcript panel carry a Copy control. Pick Markdown or Rich Text, and paste into a doc with the formatting intact. Suggestion and to-do cards have their own copy button too.

Chat cards also offer a Download menu with Markdown, Text, DOC, CSV and XLS. Chief opens the native save dialog so you choose where the file lands.

In the transcript, your own turns now carry the email you signed in with rather than a generic "You", both on screen and in the copied text.

Light mode and a softer look

Open View, then Appearance, and choose Auto, Light or Dark. Auto follows your Mac and keeps following it if you switch during a session. Chief remembers your choice, and the meeting popover matches.

Cards, panels, buttons and menus carry rounder corners. Transcript turns lost the boxed styling and read as a flowing conversation, with the speaker color still marking who said what and new turns easing in as they arrive. A blinking caret marks the words still settling.

Each speaker turn shows its start time next to the label, so you can find the moment in a recording. The Live Session mark now sits in the app header alongside the same icon you see in the web session list.

Naming and guidance

Click the session name in the header, or the pencil beside it, and type a new one. The name saves before the header updates, so it appears in the web console right away, and the automatic summary no longer overwrites it when the session ends. Sessions you leave alone still get a generated title.

The first time you reach the main screen, Chief offers a short walkthrough of the start button and the three panels. Skip it or take it; either way it does not come back.

After a session ends, its page in the web console opens with a written summary and a list of action items above the transcript. Pick a suggested action and start a chat from it, and Chief works from that session's transcript.

Fixes

Zooming the app used to cut off the bottom of the window or leave a gap under it. The layout now fills the window at any zoom level.

The scrollbars in the live panels were a hairline and hard to grab. They are wider now, with a thumb that brightens under the pointer.

When new suggestion cards arrived, the list jumped back to the top. Chief keeps your place, and follows new cards down when you were already at the bottom.

Project search matched only exact substrings, so typing part of a name like "Chief: Eng" out of order found nothing. Search now matches partial and out-of-order words and ignores punctuation. Picking a project fills the field and collapses the list, with an x to change it, and a failed load offers Retry instead of a dead end.

A chat card that hit an error stayed painted red even after a good answer arrived. The card clears the error once real content renders.

Devices paired before Chief started recording your email had to type it in every time they sent feedback. Chief fills it in on startup now.

The version label in the status bar was too dim to read. It matches the header text and brightens on hover.

Update through the app, or grab the build from the Chief download page. The feedback form in the app takes bug reports and ideas alike.
