New Features

🎧 Listen mode. Your meetings, transcribed live. Mic and system audio together, speaker labels, no bot joining anything. The AI drafts answers automatically: on every question, after every pause, or only when you tap Suggest. Smart follow-ups appear under each answer, and every session is saved as a meeting with its full transcript, stored on your device.
💬 Ask mode, sharper everywhere. Type it, dictate it, or show it: full screen capture, region select, document attachments with built-in OCR, and a Use image toggle that pins a fresh screenshot to every message. Answers stream in as Markdown, and conversations are saved, searchable, and exportable.
🧠 200+ models, one tap away. GPT, Gemini, Claude, Llama and more on Pro plans. No API keys, switchable mid-conversation, with a pinned live web-search model for questions that need this minute's information. The catalog: pluely.com/models.
🆓 The free plan stays free. Forever. Bring your own provider through a curl template, or connect the CLIs you already have: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, Qwen Code, Ollama. Your keys stay encrypted on your device. Day-one promise, kept.
🕶️ Stealth, taken seriously. Invisible on screen shares, recordings, and screenshots. Never steals focus from your call. The icon can vanish from the Dock and taskbar entirely.
⌨️ Keyboard-first. Global hotkeys summon, capture, and start listening from anywhere; single keys drive the overlay once it has focus. Every global shortcut is rebindable.
🗂️ A real dashboard. Chats, meetings, a document library, custom prompts with knowledge files, and live usage meters with your real billing dates.
9–16 MB installers. Launches in under 100 ms.
macOS, Windows, Linux: one identical app on all three.
If you were a Pluely customer before v1 shipped, your account runs on doubled limits for the launch month: 2x meeting time, 2x AI requests. Already applied, nothing to redeem. And if your subscription lapsed, subscribe again with the same email and the boost applies to you too. You kept Pluely alive; this one's on me.
To everyone who downloaded a rough little overlay two years ago and stuck around while one person kept pushing it further: this release exists because of you. Report anything that feels off through GitHub issues or pluely.com/feedback and I'll be on it.
