## [0.5.0](https://usetora.com/changelog/#v0.5.0)

October 17, 2026 Latest

Sign in for Tora Cloud, connect Tora to your other apps, and a new look for the agents and the Live card.

### New

- Sign in for Tora Cloud with Apple, Google, Microsoft, or email. Email sign-in also works with one click on the link.
- A Tora Cloud plan with launch pricing. One plan works on up to 3 Macs.
- Send your notes to Notion, Slack, Linear, or Gmail (Tora Cloud). Gmail gets a draft.
- Search all your meetings on your Mac for free. A result opens the meeting at that moment. Tora Cloud adds AI answers.
- Connect AI apps: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor can read your meetings through a local, read-only MCP server.
- Calendars: Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook. Meeting titles and people name your notes.
- New icons for the four agents.
- A new Live card shows an angel and a devil side by side, with a row of smart words.
- Onboarding now offers the better models for each job, with a Light and a Quality choice.
- Usage counts help us see what works. Turn them off in Settings › General › Share anonymous usage.

### Better

- Speaker names stay right after Tora improves the transcript.
- Notes for a long call finish on a model that fits your Mac.
- Models download faster. Tora fetches files and the parts of big files at the same time.
- The model list shows checking, getting ready, speed, and time left.
- A failed download keeps its state, and Tora retries the parts that failed.
- Tora shares free disk space between installs, so two downloads do not fill your Mac.
- "Get the better models" stays on the Today page after you choose Not now.

### Fixed

- Your own voice is no longer cut as echo when you use speakers.
- Long meetings get full notes.
- When meeting notes fail, Tora says why and points you to Quality.
