What changed, and when.

To-do projects are now called categories. The file still writes todo.txt’s +project, so other todo.txt apps read it as before. When a category is misheard, Dispatch files the to-do under the closest category you already have. A new category spelled close to an old one lands in the old one. When a hashtag comes out glued to the words, like #GroceriesPickUpMilk, Dispatch splits it into the category and the to-do. Backlog lists the newest to-do first. Note and To-do have new sounds, Blip and Chime. A sound you already picked stays. Saving, ticking a to-do off and plugging the mic in or out have new sounds too. Whatever leaves your words on the clipboard now plays one sound, and Mute sound effects silences all of them. Dispatch no longer quits when a permission is turned down or the mic is unplugged at launch. It opens Settings to Permissions, waits for the mic and stops asking for Accessibility every time it opens.

Dispatch can now tell you when a new version is out. Turn on Check for updates automatically in Settings > About and it looks once a day, fetching the same small file from this site that Check for Updates always has, and sending nothing else. Dispatch asks you about the switch once, with yes as the suggested answer, and you can change it at any time. When a newer version is out, a dot appears on the menu bar icon and the menu offers its notes and the download. After an update, a note says what changed. The ledger window can now be made as narrow as 600, and narrower than 840 the To-do tab shows Sections instead of the Board, going back to your choice when the window widens.

Adds a third channel, To-do. Dial to it, hold the trigger and speak, and the words land as one line in todo.txt, a plain file any todo.txt app can read. It lives in Documents/Dispatch/To-do unless you pick another folder in Settings. Say "hashtag" and one word anywhere in the sentence to file the to-do under that project. To-do is on after you update, so a double-tap now steps through three channels, with a rising chirp for the new one. Turn it off on its Settings page to keep two. The ledger has a tuner across the top with one tab per channel, so dictations, notes and to-dos each sit on their own tab and search looks only in the tab you are on. Each tab's history is one list, newest day first, and Go to date replaces the day arrows. The To-do tab shows Next, Backlog and Done, as a Board or in Sections. Tick a to-do off, drag it to another column or up and down inside Next, or open it to change its words, project or column, add notes or delete it. A Filter button narrows the board to the projects you pick. Edit projects lets you add, rename, recolor, merge, delete and reorder projects. A to-do you finish moves to done.txt the next day you open the ledger.

The ledger is easier to read. The time, the destination and the copy mark on every line are darker, and the date above them lines up with the counters beside it. Nothing about what is kept has changed.

Dispatch now keeps what it transcribed. Everything you dictate is saved as text, one file per day, and the ledger window lets you walk back through it by date or search the lot. Click any line to copy it. Delete what you would rather not keep, or turn the whole thing off in Settings. No audio is ever recorded, so there is nothing to play back, and your notes are read where they already sit rather than copied anywhere new. Notes can also get a short title and a tag from Apple's on-device model. A switch called Title and tag notes, on the same Settings page, turns it on. It starts off.

Whatever you are listening to goes quiet while you hold the trigger, and comes back when you release. It works with anything playing through your Mac, browser video included, and it can never start something you had already paused. Also adds a keyboard shortcut for Paste Last Transmission, set in Dictate settings, so your newest dictation lands at the cursor without opening the menu. Settings panes no longer scroll; the window is sized to hold the tallest one whole.

Adds the tone trainer, a faceplate in Sound settings where you can hear each channel's cue and practice squeezes without sending a word anywhere. Paste Last Transmission in the menu drops your newest dictation back at the cursor, with the last five kept under Recent. The menu bar icon now shows a waveform while you hold and a slash when the mic is unplugged, the menu itself is sorted into cleaner groups, and a transcript always lands on the channel you squeezed even if you dial away before it arrives.

Closes the microphone in passthrough. When Dictate points at another dictation app, Dispatch releases the mic and the orange indicator goes out; dial to Note and it opens again. Also adds a Report a bug link in About, pre-filled with your version.

Adds the radio check, a settings page that proves the whole chain works: hold the trigger, speak, and see the words land without leaving your Mac. Also a mute toggle in Sound settings and a clearer mute state in the menu.

Adds Check for Updates and Wispr Flow. A tone now tells you when there is nowhere to type, and switching channels mid-hold no longer misroutes the transcript.

The first release. Hold the trigger, speak, release; the words land where you pointed them. Two channels, Dictate and Note, transcription on your Mac, and passthrough for driving another dictation app's shortcut from the same microphone.
