Natively 2.6

on GitHub

Summary

Version 2.6.0, the "Massive Integration & Intelligence Update", brings revolutionary workflow capabilities to Natively. This release introduces Phone Link companion support, the specialized TinyPrompts™ engine for local AI, native Codex CLI automation, and advanced stealth features, making Natively the most powerful open-source meeting assistant available.

What's New

• Phone Link Integration: Connect your iOS or Android device to use it as a wireless remote microphone or a companion screen. Keep your meeting notes and AI suggestions on your phone while maintaining a clean desktop for screen sharing.
• TinyPrompts™ Engine: A ground-up redesign of our prompt architecture specifically for "Lower Tier" Small Language Models (SLMs) like Qwen 2.5:4B and Llama 3.2. These prompts are under 800 tokens, use a strict imperative voice, and eliminate XML overhead to ensure high-performance reasoning on local consumer-grade hardware.
• Codex CLI Integration: Native support for the Codex terminal-based automation system. Harness the power of gpt-5.3-codex for sandboxed code execution, local workspace tasks, and complex automation directly from the assistant.
• Auto-Calendar Sync: Natively now securely connects to Google Calendar and Outlook to automatically prepared context, participant details, and agendas before your calls begin.
• Speaker Identification (Diarization): Advanced real-time speaker tagging automatically identifies and labels individual speakers throughout your meeting transcripts.
• Smart Task Sync: Precision auto-extraction of action items with direct export support for Jira, Linear, and Asana boards.
• Advanced Stealth Mode: Hardened undetectable stealth mode with process name disguising, Activity Monitor evasion, and OS-level event blocking to ensure absolute invisibility.

STT & Reliability Upgrades

• Deepgram SDK v3 & Nova-3: Complete migration to the latest Deepgram engine, resolving persistent 1006 connection loops and EPIPE errors.
• Intelligent Failure Detection: Introduced ElevenLabs "shadow probes" and a new STT silence watchdog that detects and recovers from silent provider failures in real-time.
• Deepgram VAD Integration: Leverages SpeechStarted events to eliminate false-positive silence detections during rapid conversations.

Improvements

• macOS Audio Capture: Fixed CoreAudio Tap capture to correctly handle mono/stereo buffers, resolving the "pitched up" system audio bug.
• Streaming Resilience: Added AbortController propagation and 15s SSE heartbeats to prevent proxy timeouts during long AI reasoning tasks.
• Expanded Offline Mode: Now supports 100% offline transcription and note generation using specialized on-device SLMs.
• Language Detection Tuning: Improved batch detection confidence thresholds (0.65 min) to ignore background noise and silence.
• Stealth Evasion: Helper process renaming for improved stealth in Activity Monitor and strict management of forceUpdate timeouts during stealth transitions.
• UI & Navigation: Added new scroll keybinds for seamless, mouse-free interaction and optimized the horizontal layout for more stable code line rendering.

Fixes

• STT Failover Logic: Fixed cascading failures where session teardown codes were incorrectly counted as health strikes.
• Trial System Persistence: Resolved a bug where the "Start Trial" card would reappear after expiry.
• Memory Optimization: Fixed exponential pre-buffer growth during STT key rotations that previously caused SSL/TLS parameter errors.
• Mic Activation: Prevented the microphone from eagerly activating in settings, which triggered the macOS orange mic indicator unnecessarily.
• Stealth Mode Stability: Fixed a regression where the macOS dock icon would mysteriously reappear after changing a disguise, and resolved macOS activate events accidentally breaking stealth mode.

Technical

• New CodexCliService: Supports multiple sandbox modes (read-only, workspace-write, danger-full-access).
• Optimized tinyPrompts.ts: Imperative, context-efficient prompts designed for 4B-8B parameter local models.
• Diarization Pipeline: Real-time speaker mapping and session-scoped identity persistence.
