roadmap

Built in the open.

Here's what we're working on, what just shipped, and where things are headed — and a place to tell us what you'd like to see.

Now

What we're working on right now.

  • A smoother first run

    Making the very first launch calmer — clearer permission steps and less to think about before your first recording lands.

  • Model-prep you can watch

    Honest progress while the on-device models download and warm up, so the first-run wait never feels like nothing is happening.

  • Feedback from inside the app

    A quick way to tell us what's working and what isn't, without leaving Oris to find a form.

Next

Planned, and coming after Now.

  • A history of your recordings

    A place inside the app to see past recordings and their notes at a glance, instead of hunting through your vault.

  • This changelog, in the app

    Surfacing what just shipped where you already are — so a new version explains itself.

Later

On the map, a little further out.

  • Live transcription

    Pro

    Watch the transcript build as the conversation happens, not only after you stop.

  • Per-speaker labels

    Tell the people on the other side of the call apart, instead of pooling everyone under one label.

Recently shipped

  1. A heads-up when a bigger model is on its way

    Long recordings summarize with a larger on-device model that downloads on first use — Oris now tells you that's happening instead of looking stuck.

  2. Safer summary retries in busy notes · minor

    Retrying a failed summary in a note holding several recordings can no longer touch a neighboring recording's text — the retry now verifies exactly which block it owns before writing.

  3. Clearer setup while Obsidian loads the plugin · minor

    The setup walkthrough now says it's waiting for Obsidian instead of suggesting a re-install that isn't needed.

  4. A roadmap you can read

    This page — a public look at what we're building next, what just shipped, and a place to tell us what you'd like to see.

  5. See your notification status at a glance

    Oris now shows whether it can send you a heads-up when a note lands, so you're never left wondering if a recording finished quietly in the background.

  6. Bring in an existing recording

    Point Oris at a Voice Memo, or a Zoom or Teams export, and it transcribes and summarizes it into a note — no need to re-record.

  6. Bring in an existing recording

    Point Oris at a Voice Memo, or a Zoom or Teams export, and it transcribes and summarizes it into a note — no need to re-record.

  7. Stops itself when the room goes quiet

    An optional setting ends a recording after a stretch of silence, so a meeting that wraps early doesn't keep capturing an empty room.

  8. Fresher stats · minor

    The Your Oris card updates more reliably, so the numbers you glance at reflect what you've actually recorded.

  9. Safer imports

    Importing an existing audio file is now more careful about how it handles the file on disk — quiet under-the-hood hardening so bringing in a Voice Memo or a Zoom export stays safe.

  10. Transcribe in your language

    Pick a language for transcription, or leave it on auto-detect and let Oris work out what's being spoken.

  11. Updates that arrive on their own

    New versions download and install quietly in the background, so you're always on the latest Oris without hunting for a download.

  12. A guided first run

    A short walkthrough sets up your vault, the plugin, and permissions the first time you open Oris, so you get to your first note without guesswork.

  13. Summaries, on your Mac by default

    Every note gets a short summary generated on-device — or plug in your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, or Azure key if you'd rather use a cloud model.

  14. Faster on-device transcription

    Recordings are transcribed natively on your Mac with Apple's WhisperKit — no upload, no waiting on a server.

  15. Retry a summary that didn't land

    If a summary fails — a cloud key expired, say — the transcript still lands in your note, and one command retries just the summary once things are fixed.

  16. Decide how long recordings stick around · minor

    Set how many days Oris keeps the underlying audio after a note is written, so old recordings clean themselves up on your terms.

  17. The transcript lands where you were

    Start a recording and keep working — the finished transcript drops in at the spot you marked, even if you've moved around the note since.

  18. Knows you from everyone else

    Oris records your mic and the room's audio on separate tracks, so the transcript labels what you said versus what others said.

  19. A recording light in your menu bar · minor

    A small menu-bar indicator shows when Oris is recording and how long it's been running — a quiet reminder that it's on.
