Full changelog
[1.1.5] - 2026-07-17
Added
- Hey Megaphone can use a recent dictation from the same app and window, so follow-ups such as “make that formal” or “format that as a list” work without repeating the text.
- Smart Cleanup, Edit Mode, and Hey Megaphone now adapt their writing style for email, work chat, casual chat, documents, and technical apps using local app and window context.
- The new Megaphone website is available at megaphone.kuber.studio, with release-aware downloads, installation help, and automatic updates when a new version ships.
Improved
- Wake phrase recognition now handles “mega phone” as separate words and additional common SpeechAnalyzer variations while keeping the shorter plain “Megaphone” trigger optional.
- App-aware writing recognizes Mail, Outlook, Gmail, Slack, Teams, Discord, Messages, document editors, terminals, and code editors, including Slack and Discord in a browser.
- Recent-text follow-ups no longer borrow text from another window in the same application.
Fixed
- Hey Megaphone results no longer paste stray
<response>tags. - App-specific context now reaches Edit Mode as well as Smart Cleanup and Inline AI.
- Update checks now use Megaphone’s release manifest instead of GitHub’s shared unauthenticated API quota, preventing false “GitHub returned status 403” failures on rate-limited networks.
- The GitHub API remains available as a fallback and reports a clear rate-limit message with the local reset time when GitHub rejects a request.
- Hey Megaphone and Edit Mode no longer fail with an unsupported-language error when app-aware context contains a macOS bundle identifier.
