The first release since v0.1.0 (2026-07-13). Everything below was missing from the binary Homebrew was installing.

Install / lifecycle

  • conch setup is now genuinely one command — deps, models, hooks, the background service, and the Claude Code / Codex plugins.
  • Hard dependencies fail before the 1.6 GB model download instead of after.
  • conch doctor now records audio and speaks, so it can actually detect a denied microphone (every prior check was a file-existence check).
  • New: conch version, conch uninstall [--models].

Voice quality

  • Announcements are speakable: URLs, file paths, CLI flags, arrows and emoji are no longer read aloud character by character.
  • A thinking pause no longer submits half a prompt.
  • Voice interrupt during a read works again.

Codex

  • The Codex backend actually functions (it wrote hooks to a path Codex never reads). Activate with conch install --codex.

macOS app

  • A native app (mac-app/) with a live conversation pane, session controls over the daemon socket, inline rendering of finished work, and markdown rendering. Build and install it with scripts/build-app.sh.

Security

  • The daemon log (which contains dictated speech verbatim) and the control socket are now 0600; they were world-readable/accessible.
