• On-screen drawing looks sharper: colors that carry meaning, labels that stay readable on any background, smooth erasing, and a new spotlight to focus your attention.

July 17, 2026

• Taking notes from the Meetings page now works reliably.

July 17, 2026

• New: Voxhelm writes up your meetings for you. Turn it on in Settings › Meetings, then say “take notes for this meeting” or press Take notes on the Meetings page. Works with Teams, Meet, Zoom and the rest, and nothing joins your call.
• The moment the meeting ends you get the document: what was decided, who agreed to what, the questions left open, and the full transcript. It's saved as a Markdown file in your own folder. Export to other formats is coming.
• It finishes on its own once the meeting does, so you don't have to remember.

July 17, 2026

July 13, 2026

• Tell Voxhelm something about yourself - "remember that I'm practising German at B1", "I edit video in Premiere", "keep your replies short" - and it still knows next time you talk to it. No more starting from scratch every session.
• Say "forget that I..." whenever something changes, or just tell it the new version - it updates what it knows instead of piling up contradictions.
• New Memory panel in the app: see everything Voxhelm has learned about you, edit or delete any of it, or switch memory off. It's kept on your PC only, and Voxhelm won't remember passwords or keys.

July 13, 2026

• The hourly limit is gone. Your voice time is now measured daily and weekly only - so a long session no longer gets cut short just because you've been busy in the last hour.
• Your usage now shows what actually matters: your daily limit and your weekly limit.

July 13, 2026

• Your free Pro trial now shows the days remaining, right in the sidebar - so you always know where you stand.

July 12, 2026

• Three clear plans: Free, Pro, and the new Elite. Prices show in euros or dollars depending on where you are.
• Manage your subscription right in the app: move up to Elite, switch back down, or cancel to Free. Cancelling keeps everything you paid for until the period ends, and you can resume any time before then.
• The plans page shows your current plan and when it renews - no more guessing what you're on.

July 10, 2026

• The line you draw when circling something on screen now fades away behind your cursor like smoke, instead of staying as a solid mark.
• Same gesture, same answers - only the look changed.

July 9, 2026

• Point at your screen. Hold Right Alt to talk, then hold your right mouse button and circle anything - a paragraph, a diagram, an icon, a spot on a page. Voxhelm sees exactly what you circled and answers about it, or acts right there.
• Circle a muscle in a diagram and ask "what is this?". Circle a paragraph and ask what it says. Circle a spot on your web page and say "add a button right here".
• Your right-click is untouched unless you're holding the talk key - and you can switch the whole thing off in Settings.
• New Guide section in the app: the shortcuts that matter, and a bank of things to say out loud. Most people never discover half of what Voxhelm can do.

July 2, 2026

• Voxhelm now checks with you before it changes anything on your machine - and the confirmation shows you exactly what it's about to do, and where.
• Security and safety improvements throughout.

July 1, 2026

• Setup now walks you through it hands-on: hold Right Alt to talk, ask Voxhelm to look something up and type it for you, and have it draw on your screen - so you know it works before you start.
• Your Pro trial is on us. Just sign in, no card needed. After that you stay on a free plan with generous limits.
• 'Check for updates' shows you the result right in Settings, instead of a message you might miss.

June 25, 2026

• Voxhelm now updates itself - when a new version ships you get a quiet 'Update & Restart' prompt instead of re-downloading the installer.
