Changelog
What's new.
VoiceNote is early and moving fast. Here's what's shipped so far.
v0.1.6July 2026
- Formatting styles for how you actually work: legal file notes, clinical notes, engineering notes that never touch your code, and casual chat that keeps your slang — pick a default or set one per app.
- Verbatim mode: a single switch that makes VoiceNote type exactly what you said — punctuation and fillers tidied, your saved corrections applied, and no AI rewriting at all.
- Spoken numbers come out written: "three thirty pm" becomes 3:30pm, "the fifth of March" becomes 5 March, "forty eight thousand dollars" becomes $48,000.
- Smarter under the hood: with both writing models installed, quick notes use the fast model and emails or file notes use the accurate one — automatically.
- Emails stay in your voice: VoiceNote now fixes errors and structure without ever making you sound more formal than you were.
v0.1.5July 2026
- Meetings: record a call and get a timestamped transcript labelled You and Others, then a summary with action items — all written on your device by local models. It captures your computer's own audio, so it works with any meeting app — Zoom, Teams, Meet — and no bot ever joins the call. Included in every tier. Windows first; Mac is coming in a later update.
- Recorded meeting audio is deleted the moment transcription finishes, by default — there's a toggle in Preferences if you'd rather keep it.
- Start or stop a meeting from the app, the system tray, or with Alt+Shift+M — a small recording dot on the overlay shows whenever a meeting is being captured.
v0.1.4July 2026
- New Overview dashboard: see the time you've saved versus typing, your accuracy trend, and the words VoiceNote has learned — all measured on your own device.
- Continuous learning: VoiceNote quietly retrains on your corrections and begins writing in your voice, with a switch to pause it whenever you like.
- Native Windows on ARM build for Snapdragon laptops — quicker transcription and a lighter battery hit.
- Free for 3 days, then a one-time purchase — Solo, Duo or Family. No subscription, ever.
v0.1.3July 2026
- Auto-format by app: VoiceNote now detects where you're writing and shapes the text to fit — a polished email in Gmail, a one-liner in Slack, raw text in your editor.
- System tray: start or stop dictation, open settings, or quit — all from the tray.
- Faster first dictation: the speech model warms up at launch, so your first sentence isn't cold-slow.
v0.1.2June 2026
- Switch speech and writing models from inside the app, with a one-click restart to apply.
- Fixed background processes that could pile up and slow the machine over time.
v0.1.1June 2026
- Redesigned first-run setup — a plain-language model picker, no jargon.
- The setup wizard no longer reappears after a restart.
v0.1.0May 2026
- First private beta: hold one key, talk, and finished text lands where your cursor is — entirely on your machine.
