What's new.

The latest features, improvements, and fixes shipping to DriftNote.

v2.5.0

DriftNote Works With Your AI Assistant

Connect DriftNote to Claude, ChatGPT or Meta Muse and summarize podcasts by asking. Say “catch me up on the latest Huberman Lab” in the chat you already have open, and the summary lands in your DriftNote library, your Notion, and your inbox exactly as if you’d pasted the link yourself. No copying links, no switching apps, no API keys to fiddle with.

  • New
    DriftNote is now an MCP server — connect it to any assistant that supports connectors
  • New
    One-click connect: the assistant registers itself and you just press Allow. No credentials to copy
  • New
    Ask for a show by name — “summarize the latest Acquired” — without hunting for an episode link
  • New
    Your assistant can also search shows, read your existing summaries, follow podcasts, and create share links
  • New

    Public developer docs at /developers, with the full tool list and a REST API for anything that doesn’t speak MCP
v2.4.0

Paste Anything — Apple, YouTube, RSS, MP3

DriftNote no longer cares which app you listen in. Paste a Spotify episode link, an Apple Podcasts link, a YouTube URL, any podcast RSS feed, or a direct audio file URL — we'll handle the rest. There's also a new in-app search so you can find shows by name without leaving the dashboard.

v2.2.0

Audio Summaries for Pro

Sometimes you don't want to read — you want to listen. Pro subscribers can now hit a button on any summary and hear a natural, conversational recap of the episode delivered in a voice of their choosing. This isn't the summary being read aloud; it's a spoken script written for audio, the way a knowledgeable friend would catch you up.

  • New
    Listen to any episode summary as a conversational audio recap — exclusive to Pro
  • New
    AI rewrites the summary into a natural spoken script before generating audio — no robotic bullet-point reading

    Audio is cached so replaying the same episode is instant
  • New
    Mini player persists across the dashboard so you can browse while listening
v2.1.0

Podcast Style Profiles

Your AI-generated content should sound like you, not a robot. Producers can now add their podcast and DriftNote will analyze your existing episodes to learn your naming conventions, tone, show notes format, and vocabulary — then apply that style to every new episode you process.

  • New
    Add your podcast via Spotify show URL or name to generate a style profile
  • New
    AI analyzes up to 30 episodes to extract title patterns, tone, vocabulary, and formatting preferences
