Changelog

What's new in CodeVox — every release, newest first.

1.1.1

Latest
  • Redesigned setup: one permission at a time with a labeled progress checklist, and a practice field to try your hotkey before finishing
  • Hold Fn (Globe) is the new default push-to-talk key; Paste Last Transcription gets its own hotkey
  • The speech model loads automatically during setup, and can be loaded/unloaded from the menu bar to free memory
  • CodeVox no longer asks for Input Monitoring at launch — permissions are requested during setup, where they make sense
  • New menu bar icons that no longer resemble the system microphone indicator
  • Fixed: the setup window now returns to the front after you grant each permission in System Settings
  • Fixed: the macOS dictation tip during setup only appears when your hotkey actually uses the Fn key
  • Fixed: opening Scripts or Providers from the menu bar no longer breaks the dropdown layout
  • The "recommended for accuracy" badge moved to the model that scored highest on our accuracy benchmark

1.1.0

  • Bring your own LLM provider: add OpenAI, Anthropic, or any compatible endpoint and pick a model from the built-in catalog
  • Processing scripts are now editable: create, edit, and delete the prompts that clean up your dictation
  • Unlimited hotkey profiles, each routed to its own provider and processing script
  • Settings moved to a readable TOML file at ~/.codevox; existing settings migrate automatically on first launch
  • Faster on-device transcription through the new MLX audio runtime on Apple Silicon
  • The local API server was rebuilt on BSD sockets, fixing stalls and dropped connections
  • Fixed: deleting a model now also clears its cached weights
  • Fixed: the API port field no longer inserts a thousands separator

1.0.2

  • Free plan now includes 1500 words of dictation per day; heavy days fall back to the free model with an upgrade prompt, current dictation always finishes
  • LLM post-processing (cleanup hotkey) now requires an active Trial or subscription — falls back to the raw transcript when unlicensed
  • Menu bar shows remaining free-tier words for the day

1.0.1

  • Fixed automatic updates — earlier installs could fail to download updates
  • CodeVox now drops to the Free plan when a trial or subscription ends: dictation with the free model keeps working, and setup no longer requires signing in
  • New Updates section in the menu bar popover: current version, check for updates, and automatic update checks in one place

1.0.0

  • Initial release
