# Changelog > Every Rice release, newest first, with the notes published on GitHub. https://ricenotes.app/changelog · https://github.com/WalissonCF/rice/releases ## Rice 0.4.0 Released on 2026-10-14. https://github.com/WalissonCF/rice/releases/tag/v0.4.0 **Install in one line (macOS, Apple Silicon)** ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WalissonCF/rice/main/get.sh | bash ``` Rice is built on your Mac, so macOS doesn't block it (no `xattr`). Running it again updates Rice. **New** - **Memory across meetings:** Rice remembers what each person and company asked for, promised and decided. Before a call, "What to remember" shows it with links to the source meeting. Browse people and companies in the new **Memory** page. - **Follow-ups that chase themselves:** every next step from every meeting in one list (overdue, today, this week), with owner and due date. A daily notification for what is due, and the next meeting closes what was done. Synced with the checkboxes in your notes; can be sent to macOS Reminders. - **Local models:** use Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, MLX, Jan or any OpenAI-compatible server on your Mac (localhost only). - **Fully local mode:** nothing leaves your Mac; every network feature is blocked, with a "100% local" badge. - **Privacy receipt:** each meeting shows what left your computer, to which AI and when (metadata only). - **Consent reminder:** a one-click notice to paste in the call chat when you start recording. - **Personal data redaction:** CPF, CNPJ, cards, e-mails and phone numbers are masked before reaching the AI and restored locally. - **Retention per folder:** move old audio or meetings to the Trash automatically. - **Voice signatures are never saved** (speaker identification keeps them in memory only). - **Sidebar** works in short windows: all items keep their names; only the menu scrolls when space is tight. **Other ways to install** - macOS app: `Rice-0.4.0-arm64.dmg`, then `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Rice.app`. Needs `brew install whisper.cpp`. - Windows (preview): `Rice-Setup-0.4.0-x64.exe` (SmartScreen: More info › Run anyway). - Existing clones: `./update.sh` (or `git pull && ./install.sh` if your clone predates 0.2.0). ## Rice 0.3.0 Released on 2026-10-13. https://github.com/WalissonCF/rice/releases/tag/v0.3.0 **New** - **Global record shortcut:** ⌥⌘R (Ctrl+Alt+R on Windows) starts or stops a recording from any app; it uses the calendar meeting happening now. Change or turn it off in Settings › Shortcuts. - **Pause:** pause and continue a recording without stopping it; nothing is recorded or transcribed while paused, and the transcript marks the gap. - **Saved questions in chat:** a lightbulb button in "Ask Rice" with ready-made questions ("Summary for someone who missed it", "Next steps per person"…) and your own. - **Web sources are kept** with the answer when you reopen a meeting. - **Screenshots on the right screen:** with several displays, Rice captures the screen (or window) of the call app. **Polish** - Calmer UI details: neutral search focus, friendly model names, menus that never overflow the window, "Generate notes" next to the template picker, refreshed screenshots in the README. **Install** - macOS (Apple Silicon): `Rice-0.3.0-arm64.dmg`, then `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Rice.app`. You still need `brew install whisper.cpp`. - Windows: `Rice-Setup-0.3.0-x64.exe` (SmartScreen: More info › Run anyway). - From source: `./update.sh` (or `git pull && ./install.sh` if your clone is older than 0.2.0). ## Rice 0.2.0 Released on 2026-10-13. https://github.com/WalissonCF/rice/releases/tag/v0.2.0 **New** - **Windows (preview):** installer for Windows 10 22H2 / 11 (x64). No echo cancellation yet (use headphones); calendar via Google only. - **Screenshots triggered by the conversation (optional, off by default):** when someone says "let me share my screen" or "look at this chart", Rice takes a screenshot ~2 s later, links it to that sentence in the transcript and can cite it in the notes. Works with CLI subscriptions too (the decision is made from text). Manual capture: camera button or ⌘⇧S. - **Search the web in chat:** globe button in "Ask Rice", off by default and per conversation; sources shown as links. Each provider only gets its search tool, never a shell. - **Record now** on Home for calendar meetings happening now or starting within 10 minutes; "Prep notes" for later ones. - **Updating:** `./update.sh` for git clones, and a daily, anonymous check that shows "New version available" in Settings › Updates (can be turned off). **Fixes** - A meeting started from the "meeting is starting" notification now shows as recording in the sidebar. - Smaller app (the package no longer includes build leftovers). **Install** - macOS (Apple Silicon): download `Rice-0.2.0-arm64.dmg`, drag Rice to Applications, then run `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Rice.app` (the app is not notarized by Apple). You still need `brew install whisper.cpp`. - Windows: run `Rice-Setup-0.2.0-x64.exe`; on the SmartScreen warning choose **More info › Run anyway**. - From source: `git pull && ./install.sh` once; afterwards `./update.sh`. ## Rice for Windows (preview) (Preview) Released on 2026-10-12. https://github.com/WalissonCF/rice/releases/tag/v0.2.0-windows-preview **Windows preview — not tested on real hardware yet.** Built and tested on GitHub's Windows runners (typecheck, unit tests, app smoke test). - Windows 10 22H2+ / 11, x64. - Download `Rice-Setup-0.1.0-x64.exe` and run it. Windows SmartScreen may warn ("Windows protected your PC") because the installer is not code-signed: click **More info › Run anyway**. - Transcription (whisper) is bundled/downloaded automatically. For the AI, paste an API key (Claude, OpenAI or Gemini) in Settings, or use a CLI you're signed in to (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode). - Known limits in this preview: echo cancellation is off (use headphones), no macOS Calendar/Reminders (Google Calendar works), Antigravity is not available on Windows.
