Claap expands from meeting recorder to the agent-readable deal-conversation layer
Claap records calls and meetings and generates AI insights for revenue teams, but recent releases widen both ends of the pipe. On the capture side it added mobile in-person recording and, most recently, contact-email ingestion; on the output side it exposes its smart tables and AI columns to MCP clients and pushes enrichment into HubSpot. The result is a single per-deal timeline rather than a pile of call recordings.
CoScreen ships its final build and declares End of Life after a year of quiet.
CoScreen just shipped V8.11.14, explicitly labeled its final software update, alongside an official End of Life announcement. The last real feature release was V8.10 in August 2025 (screen-region sharing plus macOS Tahoe support); the eleven months since produced nothing but this shutdown notice. The multiplayer, multi-window screen-sharing tool for remote teams is being retired rather than iterated.

The result is a single per-deal timeline rather than a pile of call recordings.
Claap is moving to sit above the CRM as the context layer for a deal: one timeline spanning calls, meetings, and emails, with AI grounded in the whole conversation and that context made readable by external agents through MCP. Deal and Company Reports push the same 'whole deal story, not just the CRM stage' framing.
The likely next steps are tighter two-way CRM sync and more agent tooling on top of the unified timeline—turning captured context into suggested next steps or deal-stage signals. This follows the observed MCP + HubSpot-enrichment + email-capture pattern.

The cadence tells the story: steady usability and performance work through 2024 and into early 2025, a last genuine feature drop in August 2025, then silence until today's EOL. This is a sunset, not a pivot. Users can expect the app to keep running on 8.11.14 but to receive no further fixes or OS-compatibility updates.
With EOL declared and a final build shipped, the only moves left are wind-down mechanics: a hard shutdown date, export or migration guidance, and eventual removal from distribution. No further feature work is coming.
