Desktop app v2.0

The Mavio desktop app has been rebuilt from the ground up. Version 2.0 is faster, more reliable, and introduces two highly requested features: improved system audio capture and full offline mode.

​
System audio capture improvements

Recording system audio is now significantly more reliable across both macOS and Windows.
  • Zero-configuration capture — select any audio source from the menu bar without installing virtual audio drivers
  • Per-app audio isolation — record audio from a specific application (e.g., only Zoom) while ignoring system sounds and notifications
  • Multi-source mixing — capture your microphone and system audio simultaneously with separate volume controls
  • Reduced latency — audio capture latency dropped from 200ms to under 50ms
On macOS, system audio capture now uses the native ScreenCaptureKit API (macOS 13+), eliminating the need for third-party audio routing extensions. On Windows, WASAPI loopback capture is used with no additional drivers.

​
Offline mode

Record and transcribe meetings without an internet connection.
1

Download offline models

Go to Settings > Offline mode and click Download models. This downloads the speech-to-text and summarization models (~1.5 GB) for on-device processing.
2

Record offline

When you lose internet connectivity, Mavio automatically switches to offline mode. A yellow indicator shows you are recording locally.
3

Sync when back online

Once connectivity is restored, Mavio uploads recordings to the cloud for enhanced processing. You can also choose to keep recordings local only.

​
Redesigned interface

  • New menu bar widget — quick access to recording controls, recent meetings, and Mavio AI without opening the full app
  • Dark mode — full dark theme that follows your system preference
  • Compact view — a minimal floating widget for recording controls that stays out of your way
  • Global hotkeys — customizable keyboard shortcuts for start/stop recording, pause, and opening Mavio AI

Additional fixes

  • Fixed an issue where recordings would occasionally drop the first 3 seconds of audio
  • Resolved a memory leak during long recordings (2+ hours)
  • Fixed tray icon not updating on macOS Sonoma
  • Improved auto-update reliability on Windows — updates now install silently in the background
Desktop app v2.0 requires macOS 12+ or Windows 10+. Users on older operating systems should remain on v1.x, which will continue receiving security updates through June 2026.
