Your screen now talks. A voice announces every new subscriber, payment and milestone, right after the ka-ching, in your own words if you like. This release also protects screens with a password, tells Stripe Connect payments apart, and keeps moments on screen as long as you want.

Try it on the live demo (click once to turn the sound on), on saas-monitor.com, free during the public beta, or on your own server, free for good.

Added

  • Voice announcements. Turn on Announce out loud in the screen settings and a voice says what just happened: "New subscriber!", "Payment received!".
    • Ten voices, two per language, in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
    • One switch per announcement: payments, payments for a Stripe Connect account, new subscribers, upgrades, reactivations, downgrades, cancellations, new customers and milestones.
    • Voice has its own switch and volume, so a screen can speak without playing sounds.
    • Recorded phrases ship with the app: nothing is sent anywhere.
  • Your own phrases. With a Gradium API key (GRADIUM_API_KEY), write what the voice says, with {name}, {amount}, {plan}, {country}, {product} and {fee}, and up to five variations picked at random. Each phrase is synthesized once for every open copy of a screen. See Voice.
  • Screen passwords. An optional password on top of a screen's link: each device asks for it once, in the screen's language, and changing it locks every device out again.
  • Stripe Connect platforms. Payments made for a connected account get their own icon and label, ring without confetti, and only their application fee counts as your revenue.

Changed

  • Moments stay on screen as long as each screen chooses (5 to 30 seconds, 10 by default), in a larger card that reads from across the room.
  • The landing page says what it costs: the hosted version is free during the public beta, and self-hosting stays free for good.

Fixed

  • Feed rows fit a narrow column: the country is a flag at the start of the details, and the account sits next to the time.
  • In development, the database sees new columns after a schema change without a restart.

Upgrading

Pull the new image and restart. Migrations run on startup (MIGRATE_ON_START), and existing screens keep their settings. Two optional steps:

  • Stripe Connect platforms: payments imported before this version are classified at the next Re-import data of the account.
  • Your own phrases: set GRADIUM_API_KEY (and GRADIUM_API_URL to pin a region), then restart.
