The name field was the first row of the third "Transcription" section, below the fold — users couldn't find where to set their name (it's the setting that labels the mic channel and reserves the name so the LLM never assigns it to another speaker). Move it into a dedicated "Your name" section at the top of Settings, and show an orange nudge while it's still the placeholder "Me"/empty.
Ten31 Transcripts
Native macOS menu-bar app that auto-detects conference calls, records local audio,
builds a visual-derived speaker timeline, and hands audio + timeline to the
SparkControl backend for naming/transcription. See docs/ for the full spec.
This repo is at Phase 0 (scaffold, permissions, backend health check).
One-time setup
- Install Xcode from the Mac App Store (free; ~40 GB). Open it once and accept the license prompt.
- Install XcodeGen (generates the Xcode project from
project.yml):brew install xcodegen - Generate the project:
This creates
xcodegen generateTen31Transcripts.xcodeproj(git-ignored — regenerate any time). - Open it:
open Ten31Transcripts.xcodeproj - Signing is preconfigured:
project.ymlsetsDEVELOPMENT_TEAMto the free personal teamBK4Y6CXN35with automatic signing, so Signing & Capabilities should already show the team — no manual selection needed. (If you ever sign with a different Apple ID, updateDEVELOPMENT_TEAMinproject.yml, not in Xcode —xcodegen generateoverwrites Xcode-side changes.) - Press Run (⌘R).
Note: after adding files in a new phase, re-run
xcodegen generateand let Xcode reload the project. The signing team persists because it lives inproject.yml, so macOS permissions stay granted across rebuilds.
What Phase 0 does
- Launches as a menu-bar-only app (no Dock icon).
- Menu panel shows live status for the three permissions it needs — Microphone, Screen Recording, Accessibility — with Grant / Open Settings buttons.
- Shows a backend health check (
GET /api/status) against the configured host. - Settings: backend base URL, skip-TLS toggle (on by default for the self-signed cert), output folder, and adapter toggles (inert this phase).
No audio capture, call detection, screen reading, or backend hand-off yet — those
arrive in Phases 1–6 (docs/04_BUILD_PLAN.md).

Notes
- App Sandbox is off and Hardened Runtime is off — this is a personal, LAN-only tool that must observe other apps. Revisit only if distributing.
- The default backend host is
