Hex 3.0.0

Hex 3.0.0

Upgrading from 2.3.1

Hex 3.0 starts fresh. It keeps its data in a folder named hex instead of
voice-control and imports nothing, so settings, History, meeting recordings,
and downloaded models start empty and the first launch downloads a speech
model again. Meeting notes already exported to ~/Documents/Hex Meetings stay
where they are. The old voice-control folder is left alone, and you can
delete it.

2.3.1 doesn't update to 3.0 by itself. Download Hex from
https://anoma.ly/hex.

• macOS: Hex is now anomaly.hex, signed by Anomaly, so macOS treats it as a
  new app. Remove the old Hex entries in System Settings › Privacy & Security,
  then allow Microphone, Accessibility, and, for Meetings, Screen & System
  Audio Recording again. Turn Launch at login back on if you used it.
  Configuration profiles that set DisableUpdates need to target
  anomaly.hex.
• Windows: the installer is a new app in Settings › Apps, so installing 3.0
  leaves 2.3.1 installed. Uninstall the old Hex by hand.
• Linux: install again with the command on https://anoma.ly/hex.

Removed

• Voice Action is gone.
• Spoken commands are gone, along with the Moonshine model they used.
  hex.config.ts now holds only transformations.

New

• A new settings window, the same on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The sidebar
  has General, Output (replacements, per-app modes, OpenCode rewriting, and
  transformations), and History. On macOS, Labs holds Meetings (beta), which
  joins the sidebar once turned on; Dev builds add Annotate and experiments.
• A new recording indicator on every OS.
• Vocabulary (Settings › General, or hex vocabulary): list names and terms,
  and Hex steers transcription toward them and fixes common mishearings.
• Shortcuts can use both Option keys together, a left or right modifier, or a
  mouse button.
• A new set of feedback sounds, with the old ones under Classic, and a picker
  you can listen to.
• On macOS, Hex can lower other audio to a volume you choose while you
  dictate, and pausing media now pauses the browser too.
• Local models use about 160 MB of memory instead of about 900 MB.
• New speech models, Underdog Bark 3.0 Pro and Clean, and Bangla. The picker
  shows each model's accuracy.
• Ukrainian interface language.
• Hex skips recordings with no speech in them instead of transcribing them.
• macOS no longer asks for Input Monitoring. Accessibility covers the
  shortcut.
• Meetings (beta, in Labs on macOS) can remind you before calendar meetings
  once you connect a calendar, can always record calls from an app you choose,
  and finishes a meeting that was recording when Hex quit on the next launch.
• Annotate (Dev channel, macOS and Linux, in Labs) records the screen while you
  draw and talk, and sends it to an OpenCode session.
• The hex command controls the running app (hex status, hex dictation,
  hex settings, hex meetings record) and reads History and meetings
  (hex history, hex meetings, hex mcp).
• One updater on every OS, with a Stable or Dev update channel in Settings ›
  General.
• Linux gets ARM64 builds, .deb and .rpm packages, and a tray icon.

This macOS release uses build 30000.
