What Shipped in the Second Half of September 2026: Call Notes, Records, and Your Data

The short version: From September 16 through 30, we took on the small jobs that usually fall to you: remembering to start notes when a call begins, working out which copy of a note is current, keeping records up to date, and checking whether a connection is still working. We also added a full account export and brought Notes to iPhone.

Call notes that keep pace with the call

Call notes in the desktop alpha are being turned on workspace by workspace. Where they're on, Pantheon notices when a call starts in Zoom, Teams, Slack, FaceTime, or another call app and asks whether to take notes. You can say not now, or tell it to stop asking for that app. A minute before a calendar meeting with other people, a "Starting soon" heads-up gives you the same choice. When the call ends and the app lets go of the microphone, Pantheon counts down and stops recording, unless you choose to keep going.

It also asks for less access than before: on recent Macs, it no longer needs permission to record your screen. After a recorded meeting, Enhanced notes are written for you and follow the note's template, so a discovery call comes back organized like a discovery call and a 1:1 like a 1:1, on desktop and on the web.

Notes you can search, fix, and share

Notes on the web and desktop now have find and replace, so renaming a company or fixing a misspelled name across a long note takes one step. If the same note changes on two devices, you'll see "Updated on another device" with the differences marked, and "Restore my version" brings your copy back. An edit is never overwritten without you knowing.

Pasting got cleaner too. Text you bring in from Slack or another app arrives tidy instead of cluttered. Copy from a note and other apps get clean text with its formatting. Paste between notes and the mentions and images come along. Notes export to PDF, Markdown, plain text, or Word. When you share one, you choose who can open it: only the people you name, anyone who verifies their email, or anyone with the link.

Records that are quicker to keep current

On the web, the Contacts, Companies, and Deals tables now work more like a spreadsheet. Click a cell to edit it, then move straight to the next one, so catching up on a busy week no longer means opening every record. Searching for a person now matches their tags, companies, email addresses, city or country, notes, and bio, not just their name. You can find someone by what you remember about them, wherever you search for people on the web.

In the desktop alpha, you can edit contact fields and mark a contact as blocked. Deals show when you were last in touch and on which channel. You can create, delete, and restore deals and companies, and anything you delete waits in Recently deleted. Contacts load as you scroll, so a long list opens quickly. Empty Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Chats pages now point to a first step instead of showing a blank screen.

An inbox that tells you what's going on

If you mark a Telegram chat as unread in Telegram, Pantheon now shows it as unread too and clears it when you read it. Pantheon marks Telegram messages read only when you're actually looking at them. On a shaky connection, a message still goes out only once. On the web, messages you write while offline are sent once you reconnect, and in WhatsApp groups an @mention shows the person's name instead of a number.

Your Telegram connection now shows its status live: syncing, reconnecting, paused, or signed out. If you use the desktop app, a dot on your workspace avatar on the web shows whether your Mac is connected. On desktop, photos in a chat show a preview right away instead of leaving a gap while they load.

Your account and your data

When someone signs in to your account from a new location, Pantheon asks whether it was you. "Yes, it was me" lets you carry on. "No, secure my account" signs out every session. If you haven't set up two-factor authentication, the question arrives by email, and the web app's settings offer to turn two-factor on and show your recent sign-in activity.

You can now export your whole account, including contacts, messages, and notes, from Settings → Profile on the web. You can also start an export from the desktop app's Privacy settings. Your profile also has separate first and last name fields now.

A steadier desktop app

The desktop app now installs updates by itself, though never in the middle of a recording. If something goes wrong at launch, it offers a way to recover instead of leaving you stuck. If you open it straight from the download, it asks once to move itself to Applications and remembers your answer. "Pin to sidebar" is now the first option when you right-click a sidebar item.

Notes on iPhone

People with private access to the iPhone app now have Notes, built on a native editor with Apple's formatting menu. There are folders, version history, photos, and meeting notes with an Enhanced view and a "Copy transcript" button. Notes keep working offline and sync when you're back online. The inbox also gained pin, archive, and mute on a long press, plus search across names, tags, and email addresses. If you open the app offline, it shows a saved copy you can read.

That's what shipped in the second half of September. The October updates will pick up from here.
