 What's New in 1.6.0

- Insanely fast Parakeet — rebuilt Parakeet implementation with pretty much zero delay between speaking and seeing words on screen
- Fluid Intelligence — fully local AI model for on-device dictation enhancement. No cloud, no API keys, no data leaving your Mac
- Better Theming — adaptive light/dark theme with a compact toolbar switcher
- Refreshed Onboarding — language-first voice engine setup, real dictation tryout, and AI enhancement setup in one clean pass

 [!WARNING]
 Based on early feedback, Fluid Intelligence may cause you to unsubscribe from other dictation apps and save money. You've been warned.

 Fluid Intelligence

FluidVoice is fully open source under GPLv3. Fluid Intelligence is a separate, privately maintained local AI runtime that powers advanced on-device dictation enhancement — smart formatting, context-aware capitalization, and post-processing — all running locally on your Mac.

The app works great on its own with any supported speech model and optional cloud AI providers. Fluid Intelligence adds a fully local, private AI layer for users who want on-device enhancement without sending data anywhere.

We're keeping Fluid Intelligence private for now so we can sustainably offer the core dictation experience for free. This may change in the future.
