Updates and improvements in Voqey.

  1. 1.1

    November 5, 2026

    Latest

    • Voqey now focuses entirely on local dictation. Voqey Studio, Compose, Refine, AI-provider connections, and the Meetings & Recaps placeholder have been removed. No API keys are needed.
    • Quick settings in the menu bar menu: recording mode, microphone, language, speech model, and clipboard-only output.
    • A Say Thanks link in About for the version downloaded from tokrl.com.
    • Fixed a crash when quitting Voqey.

  2. 1.0.1

    November 2, 2026

    • The Mac App Store version now inserts dictated text into the active app automatically, once Accessibility access is allowed. It no longer only copies to the clipboard.
    • Accessibility is now part of onboarding and Settings in the Mac App Store version, and the onboarding window returns once a permission is granted.

  3. 1.0

    October 30, 2026

    • First stable release: dictate from the menu bar with a keyboard shortcut, with speech recognition running on your Mac.
    • Voqey Studio: Compose to record or type a thought, and Refine to get clearer, more concise or more polished versions, or to translate.
    • Refine with Apple Intelligence on a supported Mac, or with your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.
    • Download and manage speech models in the app; multilingual models detect the language of each recording.
    • Updates through Sparkle in the version downloaded from tokrl.com.
