What's new in VoiceSnap Pro

• A cleaner sign-in screen: everything sits in one card, titled "Continue to VoiceSnap Pro", with the email icon inside the email field and the Terms and Privacy Policy links underlined. Quit VoiceSnap Pro from its menu-bar or notification-area icon, or with Command+Q on a Mac.

• The Remind Me menu (right-click a note) lists In 20 Minutes, In 1 Hour, In 3 Hours, Tomorrow and Next Week without the times in brackets. The menu's first line still says when a reminder is due.

• Settings → AI actions no longer shows a how-to line under Your actions; use New action to add your own.

• Macs with Apple silicon only: from this version, VoiceSnap Pro for Mac runs on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later). Macs with an Intel processor are no longer supported.

The first public release of VoiceSnap Pro: dictation and voice notes for macOS and Windows.

• Dictation: hold a right-hand modifier key, speak and let go, and your words are pasted into the field you're typing in. The default key is Right Option on macOS and Right Alt on Windows; you can change it in Settings → Shortcuts. Add names and jargon to your personal vocabulary to help transcription spell them your way.

• Hands-free: press Control+Option+D on macOS or Ctrl+Alt+D on Windows to start, and press it again to stop. Escape cancels a recording.

• Voice notes: hold Right Command on macOS or Right Ctrl on Windows (hands-free: Control+Option+N or Ctrl+Alt+N) to save what you say as a note, or to add it to the note open in the VoiceSnap Pro window. A recording can run for up to four hours.

• Your notes: pin them, sort them into folders and tags, open one in its own window, and lock one behind a 4-digit PIN (a privacy screen, not extra encryption). Search notes and dictations together, with "quoted phrases" and filters, re-transcribe a note in another language, and go back to an earlier version. Deleted notes stay in the Trash for 30 days, with Undo right after.

• Dictation history: your dictations are kept as text on this computer only. Control+Option+H on macOS or Ctrl+Alt+H on Windows opens the History pop-up to paste, copy or save one as a note, and Control+Option+V or Ctrl+Alt+V pastes your last dictation again. You can turn the history off in Settings.

• AI: AI actions rewrite, summarize, fix grammar, translate and more, on a note or a dictation (right-click, or press Command+J on macOS or Ctrl+J on Windows), and you can write your own. New voice notes get an AI title, and AI tags picks from your own tags for new notes. Each has a switch in Settings → AI.

• Reminders: set a reminder on any note: in 20 minutes, in 1 hour, in 3 hours, tomorrow at 9, next week, or a date and time you pick, once or every day, weekday, week or month. When it's due you get a notification with Mark as done and Snooze, and the Reminders list in the sidebar shows what's overdue, due today and coming up. On macOS the Dock icon shows how many are due, and the menu-bar or notification-area icon gets a dot. Reminders sync across your computers, so marking one done clears it everywhere. Say "remind me tomorrow at 9" in a voice note to set one by voice (Settings → AI → Reminders from your voice). VoiceSnap Pro has to be running to remind you.

• Accounts: sign in with Google or with a 6-digit code we email you. Until you do, VoiceSnap Pro shows only its sign-in screen. Your notes, folders, tags, vocabulary and AI settings then follow your account on up to 3 devices, Mac and Windows in any mix; signing in on a fourth signs out the one you used least recently.

• Free to start: every new account gets 20 minutes of transcription (dictation and voice notes combined), 50 AI actions and up to 20 notes, once, shared by your devices, with no card needed. AI titles, AI tags and reminders from your voice don't count as AI actions.

• Pro plan: a monthly or yearly subscription that removes the free allowance's limits on all your devices. Choose Upgrade in the app to pay in your browser. Without a subscription, your notes always stay readable, editable and exportable.

• Settings → Account: your plan and what's left of the free allowance, Upgrade or Manage subscription, sign out of other devices, export your notes as Markdown, and delete your account.

• Setup: after you sign in, a short onboarding covers microphone access (plus Accessibility and Input Monitoring on macOS), choosing your two shortcuts, and a practice box to try them.

• Menu-bar and notification-area icon: shows the status, and has Open, Dictation history, Reminders, Pause/Resume dictation, Check for Updates and Quit. On Windows, click it to open the app.

• Settings: choose the language and the microphone, and whether VoiceSnap Pro opens at login.

• Dark theme: VoiceSnap Pro follows your computer's light or dark appearance, or you can pick Light or Dark in Settings → General → Appearance.

• AI assistants: optionally let Claude Desktop (or another assistant that supports MCP) read your notes on this computer, never your recordings or the Trash. Off by default; turn it on in Settings → AI assistants.

• Privacy: your audio goes over an encrypted connection to VoiceSnap's server and is transcribed by OpenAI. A dictation's audio is discarded once the text comes back, and its text stays on this computer unless you run an AI action on it. A voice note and its recordings are saved to your account, so you can play them back on your other computers; "Keep recordings" in Settings → Voice notes decides how long recordings stay (forever, 30 days or not at all), and a deleted note stays in the Trash for 30 days before it's gone for good. With AI titles and AI tags on (they are by default), a new note's text goes through VoiceSnap's server to OpenAI; an AI action sends only the text you run it on, and a reminder from your voice only the sentences around your request.

• Automatic updates: VoiceSnap Pro checks for a new version shortly after it opens and every 6 hours, downloads it in the background, and installs it when you quit or click Restart to update. You can also check in Settings → Updates, from the menu-bar or notification-area icon, or from the VoiceSnap Pro menu on macOS.

• Signed builds: signed and notarized for Macs with Apple silicon or Intel (macOS 13 or later), and a signed 64-bit installer for Windows.

Thank you for trying VoiceSnap Pro!
