[v1.6] 🫥 Menu Bar Mode + 🎁 Invite Friends for Free Months

Hey all!

Jay from Shadow here.

‍

Today, we’re bringing you something special — a way to give back for all your support, which has fueled our team and growth.

And yes — a few highly requested updates are finally here too.

‍

🎁 Invite Friends, Earn Free Months

You can now invite your friends to join Shadow — and both of you win.

When your friend signs up through your invite, they get 1 free month.

When they subscribe to the Plus plan, you get 1 free month of credit as a thank-you.

In the new version, you’ll find a “Get a Free Month” button in the sidebar.

Just click it to grab your personal link and start sharing!

‍

🖥️ Menu Bar Mode

Shadow now lives in your menu bar — no need to keep the app open in your dock.

It’s always there when you need it, quietly working in the background, ready to capture and understand your meetings.

‍

🪩 More Stable, More Polished

A few long-standing issues have been squashed:

• Transcription performance is now faster and more memory-efficient during concurrent sessions (thanks @Lola).

• Note tab bug fixed — no more UI shifting left while typing (thanks @Mike).

‍

Thanks again for being on this journey with us.

Questions or feedback? Always happy to hear from you.

‍

Best,

Jay - Founder and CEO of Shadow
