The latest version of Granola is v6.491.0.

Highlights

Granola won't interrupt your flow anymore

Dante fixed an issue where Granola could steal focus from other apps after a background update – no more interruptions when you're mid-presentation or watching something fullscreen.

New shortcut: paste without formatting

Sometimes you just want plain text. Jonathan added Cmd+Shift+V to paste without any formatting coming along for the ride.

Your notes now paste perfectly into Slack

No more broken headings or weird bullet points – Sam T fixed the issue where formatting would break when pasting notes into Slack.

Clearer error messages when sign-in goes wrong

Sam T added friendly error pages when sign-in hits a snag (like Microsoft permission issues) – you'll now get clear guidance instead of a generic error message.
