Summary
Release 2.4.0 introduces an expansive 10-Minute Free Trial system, stunning premium UI redesigns for plan selection, and significantly improved screenshot and audio device handling.
What's New
- 10-Minute Free Trial System: Users can now fully audition Natively before purchasing, unlocking STT, AI processing, and web search quotas with seamless onboarding through a new countdown banner and promotional toaster UI.
- Guided Permissions Setup: Added a premium full-glass card experience on launch to smoothly handle Apple TCC permission requests for Microphone and Screen Recording.
- Premium Plan UI Redesign: Fully redesigned the plan selection and upgrade interfaces ("Apple/Tesla compact" look)—featuring glowing cards, hover effect physics, "Most Popular" and "Best Value" badging, and a clear BYOK path.
- Max & Ultra Upgrade Highlights: Pro users now receive beautiful gold/amber-themed dynamic upgrade comparison cards outlining the benefits of Max and Ultra tiers.
- Verbose Diagnostic Logging: Packaged apps now include advanced system logging capabilities—users can export
natively_debug.logright to their documents via a new toast notification.
Improvements
- Custom Provider Integration: Custom / cURL LLM provider configurations are now fully supported for meeting note generation, summarization, and follow-up suggestions—effectively sidestepping knowledge-mode interference.
- Data Privacy & Cleanup: Trial users who downgrade or expire now have their local profile data, resumes, and SQLite cache securely auto-wiped to maintain rigorous privacy policies.
- Advanced Audio Streaming: Upgraded the streaming session architecture to adapt to the new OpenAI Realtime Transcription API payload specifications.
- Ad & Campaign Targeting Engine: Re-engineered the in-app promotional system to intelligently swap visuals and logic strictly according to a user's exact active subscription level (
planDetails), replacing random cycles. - Global Rendering Shortcuts: Re-routed system-wide meeting screenshot calls (Cmd+H / Cmd+Shift+H) to leverage direct renderer interaction for rock-solid captures.
Fixes
- Fixed a notorious background privacy issue where the system microphone would prematurely activate in the Settings page even without an active meeting.
- Resolved race-condition failures preventing taken screenshots from appearing natively inside the active meeting message bar layout.
- Fixed a bug where Profile Intelligence (such as resume analysis, company research, and negotiation hints) incorrectly blocked active Free Trial users.
- Corrected UI quirks during Free Trial initial loading—resolving a bug where trial-started "flashes" occurred upon mounting, and fixing stuck usage counters.
- Bypassed an invalid developer mode assertion preventing screenshot captures from resolving gracefully when app packaging scripts missed permissions.
- Resolved macOS cross-compilation errors (
clang_rt.osxmissing) by preferring the system Command Line Tools resource directory.
Technical
- Bound new ElectronAPI and IPC request handlers to securely coordinate: permission checks (
permissions:check), audio tracking overrides, and local profile data annihilation (trial:wipe-profile-data). - Handled telemetry logic mapping LLM
__trial__headers out of the main desktop API streams, converting them successfully into isolatedx-trial-tokenusage patterns. - Pushed major frontend dependency integrations for dynamic routing updates inside
NativelyInterface.tsxandApp.tsxstate management trees.
