Talk with the agent and hear it answer. Claude Code is now optional, and no engine holds your Venice key.
New
- Voice
- Turn on Conversation in the composer to hear each reply as it streams. A finished take sends itself.
- Say "remember that …" in a conversation to save a memory instead of sending.
- Talk-back says a short line when a run finishes or needs you. It uses Venice's Private voice, at about $0.0001 a line.
- Talk-back stops for the day at 150,000 characters, about $0.53. Change the limit in Settings → Voice.
- Read this reads a reply aloud.
- Approve, answer a question or stop a turn by voice. An approval waits for a second "yes".
- Hold the dictate chord to talk, or tap it to start and stop.
- Dictation starts faster: whisper stays loaded between takes.
- The voice bar tells you when the microphone is slow to open, hears nothing, or nears the 12-minute limit.
- Voice typing works on Linux.
- Every engine comes with the eight Know Your Code skills, which Conversation is built on.
- Start a goal from a project.
- Turn Claude Code off in Settings → Engines. Threads, checks and scheduled tasks then run without it, and Cloaky fetches nothing for it.
- Save memories and stop a single background command in OpenCode, Codex, Kimi Code and Grok Build chats.
- The agent asks before editing when a request leaves the result open.
Changed
- OpenCode, Codex, Kimi Code and Grok Build reach Venice through Cloaky, so none of them holds your key.
- Their spend is what Venice charged. Codex's is estimated from Venice's prices.
- They stop at the turn limit and at your session spend limit, and Stop always wins.
- They edit files with their file tools, so every change shows in Review and can be undone.
- In an encrypted chat, Read this, Refine and side chats are off, so nothing goes to a second Venice call.
- Refine works with any default model and keeps code blocks whole. It answers in the language you wrote in.
- Every palette meets its contrast floor. In dark mode, Send and the main buttons are a deeper blue with white text.
- Every control shows a hover and a press, and streamed words fade in.
- A reopened thread keeps its mode, effort and cost.
- A scheduled task starts at its next scheduled time and never waits on a question nobody is there to answer.
- Errors from git, Venice and teammates now say what happened in plain words.
- Cloaky checks for updates as soon as you turn automatic checks on.
Fixed
- Undo
- Starting a turn no longer freezes Cloaky while Undo saves the project.
- Undo works on large projects, survives the app quitting mid-save, and keeps its history when its index is damaged.
- Undo says why it was held when the project folder moved.
- Privacy
- Claude Code no longer contacts api.anthropic.com unless you have added a plugin marketplace.
- Incognito chats on the other engines write nothing to disk.
- The privacy page lists what dictation and talk-back send and keep.
- Review and git
- Commit includes only what Review showed.
- Cloaky refuses to commit during a merge or rebase, and pushes to the repository's own remote.
- Venice
- Tokens, reasoning and each turn's cost are counted correctly.
- Tool calls stay whole when a reply is cut off.
- Changing the model no longer resets an engine session's spend count.
- Voice
- Dictation no longer stops mid-take or hangs for 20 seconds when whisper fails to start.
- A take keeps its words after its composer closes.
- Conversation no longer reads inline code aloud.
- Threads
- A tool call you deny shows as denied, not failed.
- A question's row shows the question instead of its raw input.
- The note above a reply names the model the way the picker does.
- A stopped message says in plain words how its run ended.
- Squad
- Each teammate gets its own workspace, and a message reaches the teammate it mentions.
- A room keeps working when its lead is deleted.
- A damaged settings, Undo or history file is set aside and named on the start page.
- Archiving, renaming or deleting a thread applies in every open window.
- Long names and unbroken strings wrap or truncate instead of breaking the layout.
- An engine no longer triggers a macOS folder-access prompt for the folder Cloaky was launched from.
- Dependencies are updated past their security advisories.
Known issues
- The Intel and Linux builds have had less testing than Apple silicon.
- Voice has not been tried on a Linux desktop yet.
