New in 1.3.4

• Auto-listen waits longer for you to start. It now gives you 8 seconds (was 4) to start talking before it stops.

New in 1.3.3

• Simpler auto-listen. It now has one rule: if nobody talks at the phone in the first few seconds, it stops. In messaging and email apps, words go straight into the box like everywhere else. The old messaging-app behavior (words wait in the bar until you finish, a tap to add if it ends on its own, a one-minute stop) is still there as Extra care in messaging apps under Voice typing, off by default.

New in 1.3.2

• GPT-6 Luna cleanup works: it was timing out; it now runs without extended reasoning, which suits a quick edit. Messages name the service that actually ran (ChatGPT or Claude).
• A Logs page (home › Logs): the last five minutes of Voicebar's events plus Android's log for the app, to copy whole into a bug report.
• The auto-listen check logs what OpenAI answers when a check fails.

New in 1.3.1

• Fixed: with "Listen as soon as a text box opens", tapping into a box could type your previous dictation into it. Each dictation now starts empty.
• The ⋮ menu in dark mode uses the same colors as the settings screens, so its cards stand out from the panel. The Clipboard / Dictations tabs line up with the cards, and corners follow Material 3's shape scale.
• Copy recent log (Settings › How to use it): the last five minutes of what Voicebar did, to paste into a bug report. Kept only in memory.

New in 1.3

• Cleanup with Claude Haiku or GPT-6 Luna. The model dropdown offers both. With one key, that key's model is used; with both, the one you pick (Haiku by default).
• Your last 10 dictations are in the ⋮ menu, next to the clipboard (switch between Clipboard and Dictations). Tap one to paste it as it was typed, or hold it and choose As said to paste the words before cleanup, handy when cleanup gets something wrong.

New in 1.2

• A Cleanup page on the home screen gathers everything about cleanup: on or off, your Claude key, the model, the optional OpenAI key and the auto-listen check it unlocks, recent checks, and the last cleanup problem.
• The cleanup model is a dropdown (Claude Haiku, Sonnet or Opus 5.5, with prices) instead of a box for a model name.
• Setup now offers the OpenAI key as an optional step, with what it's for and an example.

New in 1.1

• Clipboard history in the ⋮ menu. Your last 15 copies show as three cards that scroll sideways: tap one to paste it, hold it to pin or delete it. Pinned clips stay, anything an app marks as sensitive (like a password manager's copies) is skipped, and nothing Voicebar copies for you pushes out what you had.
• A smarter auto-listen check (optional, needs an OpenAI key). Add an OpenAI key under Voice and turn on "Check auto-listen with OpenAI". In messaging and email apps, every 10 seconds of a dictation that started by itself, OpenAI's Decisions API judges whether it's still a message for the conversation. If it's drifted into talking to the room, it stops and goes to the clipboard instead. Recent checks are listed under How to use it. Cleanup still uses Claude.
• A failed Send never loses your message. If swipe-to-send can't find the app's Send button, your message stays in the box (it's put back if it went missing) and is copied too. If the Gboard button is switched off, the bar says so with a tap to turn it back on.
