Inactivity Auto-Pause (v2.12.1)
Never worry about accidentally leaving a session running again. Hedy can now automatically pause your session after a period of inactivity.
How it works:
- Set your preferred timeout (1-15 minutes)
- When no speech is detected for half the timeout, a warning banner appears
- Tap 'I'm Still Here' to continue, or 'Pause Now' to stop early
- If no action is taken, the session pauses automatically
- Resume or stop from the auto-paused dialog
Enable it:
Go to Settings → Meeting Settings → Auto-Pause on Inactivity
Note:
Requires Voice Activity Detection (VAD) to be enabled for accurate speech detection.new

Topic-Based Session Defaults (v2.12)
Topics now remember your preferred session type! When you start a new session from a topic, Hedy automatically suggests the session type you use most often with that topic.
For example, if you always use "Coaching" for your weekly check-ins topic, that will be pre-selected when you start a new session.
This saves time and makes it faster to jump into your meetings with the right settings.
Added new controls to customize your Live Activity experience on iOS:
- Toggle Live Activities on or off from Settings
- Control whether session information appears on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
- Useful for keeping your meetings private or reducing distractions
Available on iPhone with iOS 16.1 or later.
