Spellar 2.0: BYOK, Local Audio Storage & Smarter AI

πŸš€ New Year, New Era: Spellar 2.0 is Here

We are kicking off 2026 with our biggest update yet, giving you more control, flexibility, and power over your meeting data.

Power & Flexibility πŸ€–

  • Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) – We believe in choice. You can now connect your own API keys for Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity to access their most advanced models directly within Spellar alongside GPT.
  • Smarter AI Commands – Your assistant just got a promotion. Use new commands like "Generate draft email" and "Quick Highlights" to instantly turn conversation into action.

Privacy & Audio Engine 🎧

  • Local Audio Storage (macOS) – Your data, your rules. Configure Spellar to automatically save raw audio recordings directly to a selected local folder on your laptop.
  • Enhanced System Recording – We’ve rebuilt how Spellar listens. Expect significantly smoother recording of other meeting participants, ensuring no voice gets left behind, even when wearing headphones.

Experience & Workflow πŸ“±

  • Refined iOS Workflow – Productivity doesn't stop at your desk. We’ve optimized the iOS experience, making it faster to access folders and apply AI templates on the go.
  • New "How It Works" – Discover hidden capabilities and pro-tips in the new guide section within the macOS app.

Plans & Pricing πŸ’Ό

  • Streamlined Tiers – To support these powerful new models, we have updated our plans. The previous "Pro" plan is now Lite, and "Pro+" has been consolidated into the new Pro plan.

Here’s to a productive year ahead! πŸ’œ
