Everything Wrengle does, and how far along each part is.

A vault is just a folder on your machine. Notes are ordinary files inside it, so your backup is that folder — copy it, sync it, or move it to another machine like anything else.

Wrengle asks for microphone access at startup. On current macOS, you enable system audio separately with a short audible test for the narrower audio-only permission before capturing both sides of a call. A draft transcript appears while you talk and sharpens as it goes. Transcription runs on your machine by default.

In production-verified builds, connect Google Calendar and choose a timed event from your primary calendar before recording. Wrengle keeps the event cache on your Mac for no more than seven days; account sign-in remains separate.

Unsaved editor changes and a meeting in progress are recoverable after a reload or an unexpected quit. Recovery data stays on your machine and is cleaned up once the work is safely saved.

File tree, tabs, and split panes, with a command palette for everything else. If you have lived in a code editor, you already know where things are.

Use account-backed Atlassian OAuth, then choose the Jira Cloud site, project, and issue type for each ticket. Review the summary and description before Wrengle sends them. Jira is editor-only in v1.

Search the whole vault, find and replace inside the note you are in, and jump straight back to recent or starred work.

Draw flows and diagrams on a canvas that matches your theme, with shapes, connectors, and quick-add. Charts are files in your vault, and split panes open on your machine stay in sync as you drag.

Sketch with an Excalidraw-style canvas and keep the .wrboard file and its images in your local vault. Split panes reflect edits live, and optional sync keeps the board and its referenced images on your own computers.

Read PDFs with outlines and page links, search text and CSV tables, and preview images and supported media in read-only tabs that remember your place. HTML opens full-bleed without a preview toolbar; pages must be self-contained or use HTTPS resources.

Link notes as you type. A backlinks panel shows everywhere a note is referenced and flags links that broke, and a graph lets you pan and zoom through how the whole vault connects.

A clean install starts assistant chat on Wrengle AI Fast; upgrades keep their saved explicit or Auto route. You can use an enabled text-only managed tier or your own OpenAI or Anthropic key to ask questions, work with vault-scoped note tools, and propose edits. Auto shows the direct provider it resolved and never spends Wrengle AI credits.

Run approved Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex presets in Assistant with the same transcript, tool cards, and note-review flow. Those subprocesses keep their ordinary operating-system permissions. Plugin Builder is stricter: its reviewed Claude Code 0.70.0 route reuses an existing Assistant account sign-in, preserves native HOME for macOS Keychain discovery, and keeps configuration and workspace state in scratch with MCP-only tools and a required macOS sandbox. Gemini CLI and Codex remain Assistant-only.

Select note text and open Inline Assist from the toolbar or Mod+Enter. The same advanced composer exposes your current model, permissions, image input, exact note context, and edit preview without creating a separate conversation or hidden transcript.

Attach, paste, or drop PNG, JPEG, and WebP images for compatible assistants. Wrengle normalizes them and strips embedded metadata before sending; visible pixels still leave the app, and image bytes are not saved in the conversation.

Use one Assistant permissions menu for Ask me, Auto approve, Plan only, or Full access. Reviewed presets coordinate Wrengle approvals with exact agent modes; Advanced keeps both raw layers visible. These controls do not sandbox an external process.

Chain steps into a workflow: fetch something, ask AI to draft, write a note, review. Try it as a dry run, run it on demand, or schedule it daily. Steps that act outside Wrengle, like sending to a connected app, always wait for your approval.

Turn a saved meeting into an editable report covering summary, decisions, action items, follow-up, discussion, and open questions — automatically when it saves, or when you ask for it.

Hold a shortcut and talk to write into the note you are in, or switch to Voice Control to run editor, workspace, and terminal commands out loud. Deletions ask before they act.

Load plugins from a folder, including ones you build with AI help. A plugin has to ask before it can reach your notes or anything outside the app, and you approve each write.
