Foxl Notes started life as a separate app: its own download, its own release feed, its own auto-updater. With v0.2.51 that ends. Foxl Notes now lives inside the Foxl Desktop app, alongside the Foxl Agent, on the same account and the same balance of credits. There is one app to install and one place to sign in.
One app, two products
Foxl Desktop is now a super-app. A product switcher at the top of the sidebar moves you between Foxl Agent (the 24/7 AI agent) and Foxl Notes (meeting transcription and summaries). Your recordings list sits in the same sidebar the conversations live in, and the recording controls - start, stop, the live timer, AI assist - sit in the app header rather than a separate window. An in-progress recording keeps running even when you switch over to the Agent, with a floating pill to jump back.
Practically, that means no second install and no second login. The Foxl account you already use for chat carries your Notes transcription and AI summaries, metered on the same credits. We retired the standalone Foxl Notes release feed; the unified Foxl Desktop build supersedes it and updates itself.
GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 work end to end on your Foxl account
Amazon Bedrock serves OpenAI's GPT-5.x models only through their native Responses API, not the Claude-style Messages API. A previous release routed most paths correctly, but the desktop's main streaming-chat path still sent GPT-5.x to the Messages endpoint, which these models reject with an error. v0.2.51 routes every path through one shared helper, so picking GPT-5.5 or GPT-5.4 while signed in with your Foxl account now streams cleanly - in the desktop app and at app.foxl.ai. Claude, GLM, Kimi, and Gemini were never affected.
This pairs with the earlier fix for GPT-5.x repeating its answer: Bedrock streams those models as several chunks where each chunk restates everything so far, and Foxl collapses the repeats back into one clean response at the point where it talks to Bedrock - so every surface, including Foxl Notes summaries, is corrected at once.
"Start Recording" works on a fresh install
When Foxl Notes moved into the unified app, the microphone permission setup did not come with it. On a freshly installed, code-signed build, macOS refuses microphone access unless the app declares a microphone usage string and asks for access through the right system call - so clicking Start Recording did nothing, with no prompt. v0.2.51 restores the proper permission request: the OS now asks for microphone access the first time you record, and if access is blocked you get a clear message pointing you to System Settings instead of a dead button.
