Meridian 1.37.0

July 9, 2026

Device sync is restored, the app download is a third of the size, and inbox counts are accurate again.

Device sync is back — a TLS library change in 1.36.0 broke the encrypted connection Meridian uses to sync your data between devices, so devices could fall out of date while everything else kept working. Connections verify correctly again and sync resumes on its own after updating.
Accurate inbox counts — the “total” and “unread” numbers in the inbox header now count your whole inbox. They had started counting only the messages loaded on screen.
Google Contacts stay fresh — when Google expires a contacts sync session (which it does periodically), Meridian now refreshes it automatically instead of silently stalling until reconnect.
Honest sync status — a device-registration problem now shows up in the sync status instead of reporting “All synced”.

A much smaller app — the download shrinks from about 110 MB to about a third of that. The on-device search model now downloads once, in the background, the first time you run Meridian; search works immediately and gains its smart (semantic) results within a few minutes.
Cleans up after itself — background work that failed permanently used to accumulate forever; Meridian now tidies it up automatically over time.
Easier to diagnose — if sync ever misbehaves, Meridian’s internals now leave a proper trail in the system log, so problems can be pinpointed without guesswork.
