Roadmap

These are the features and improvements we're planning for the coming months.

Full sitemap of Roadmap

Hinzugefügt

  • Multi-monitor Float Orb positioning

    Remember Float Orb position per monitor. Move it once on each screen — VoicePad remembers which orb belongs where.

  • Custom hotkeys UI

    Right now hotkeys are config-file based. We're building a proper settings panel so you can rebind anything visually — push-to-talk, toggle Direct,...

  • Bundled installer below 100MB

    Currently 159MB. We're investigating ctranslate2 model splitting and on-demand language pack downloads to cut this significantly.

  • Tasker integration

    Trigger VoicePad from Tasker tasks, and trigger Tasker tasks from voice commands. Power-user automation.

  • Foldable layouts (Z Fold, Pixel Fold)

    Proper Flex Mode support — Float Orb on outer screen, full editor on inner. Continuity when unfolding.

  • Share Sheet extension

    Dictate directly into Notes, Mail, Messages, Reminders — any app that accepts the Share Sheet. No need to switch to VoicePad first.

  • iCloud sync (opt-in)

    Sync history across your Apple devices via iCloud. End-to-end encrypted, opt-in only. Disabled by default — your data stays on-device unless you...

  • Mac App Store distribution

    Currently direct download only. Mac App Store version coming for users who prefer App Store updates and managed installs.

  • Spotlight integration

    Type a query into Spotlight, get a dictation prompt. Or dictate a search query into Spotlight directly via VoicePad.

  • Team licensing

    Buy 5, 10, 25, or 100 seats. Centralized billing, shared personal dictionary, optional team-wide custom commands. For workshops, agencies, dev teams.

Verbessert

  • SmartScreen reputation building

    With EV code signing now active, Windows SmartScreen warnings will fade as more users install. We're tracking install velocity and reporting back...

  • Voice commands v2

    Bring back the HörMal-era voice commands rebuilt for VoicePad. "New paragraph", "delete that", "capitalize", and 30+ more — offline, instant,...

  • Wear OS dictation

    Dictate from your watch. Audio captured on the watch, transcribed on the phone (or on-watch if device is powerful enough). Reads back via watch...

  • Quick Settings tile

    One-tap dictation from the Android Quick Settings panel. Pull down, tap, speak. Result lands in clipboard or your last text field.

  • Apple Watch app

    Standalone Watch app for capture + offline transcription. Syncs to iPhone via WatchKit.

  • Shortcuts actions

    First-class Shortcuts support. Trigger dictation from any Shortcut, get transcript back as input to next action. Automate your entire writing...

  • Menu bar mode

    Run VoicePad entirely from the menu bar with no dock icon. Hotkey to dictate from anywhere.

  • Universal binary (Intel + Apple Silicon)

    Currently arm64 only. Building a universal binary so older Intel Macs (2017–2020) also run natively.

  • Custom wake words

    Replace "Hey VoicePad" with a phrase of your choice. On-device only, no cloud training. Coming to all platforms in one synchronized release.

  • Personal dictionary sync

    Your custom autocorrects, brand names, technical terms — synced across all your devices automatically via the WiFi sync channel.

Behoben

  • ARM64 Windows native build

    Currently x64 only. Native ARM64 build for Surface Pro X, Snapdragon X laptops, and other ARM Windows devices.

  • Linux port (Ubuntu/Fedora)

    No promise on timing — but we've had enough requests that it's on our radar. Same PyQt6 + faster-whisper stack, AppImage distribution.

  • Android Auto integration

    Hands-free dictation while driving. Texts, notes, navigation comments — all via VoicePad through Android Auto.

  • Samsung DeX support

    Desktop-class VoicePad experience when your Galaxy is docked to DeX. Keyboard shortcuts, multi-window, the works.

  • visionOS / Apple Vision Pro support

    Spatial dictation interface for Vision Pro. Long-tail but on our radar.

  • Setapp distribution

    Long shot, but if there's demand we'll explore Setapp inclusion for users who pay per-bundle rather than per-app.

  • French, Spanish, Italian language support

    EN+DE is currently locked in by design. Adding more languages is a big undertaking — Whisper model size, hallucination filter coverage, dictionary...

  • Cloud sync (fully opt-in)

    Some users have asked. Our position: device-to-device WiFi sync works for 95% of cases. If we add cloud sync, it will be opt-in, end-to-end encrypted,...

  • Voice biometrics / speaker recognition

    Several users have asked for "only transcribe me, ignore other voices in the room." Technically interesting but a privacy minefield. Considering, no...
