Afterthought 2.5 gives you more control over what happens after you speak: - Choose Transcribe Only, Classify & Review, or Classify & Send as your standard capture mode - Hold the in-app Record control to choose a different mode for one recording - With Pro, prepare several requested actions from one recording and keep the complete bundle together for review - Correct one or several prepared actions with one natural typed or spoken instruction - See accepted corrections appear immediately in the review screen - Preserve meaningful short notes, lists, destination fields, and interrupted captures more reliably - Capture from Apple Watch away from iPhone and sync the recording when your devices reconnect Multiple-action bundles and uncertain results always wait for review. This release also improves classification consistency across Apple Intelligence, Local AI Models, configured Cloud AI, and the Classic compatibility path.

Afterthought 2.4.4 makes voice capture calmer, clearer, and safer. This update improves the live recording and processing experience with a more polished active capture card, clearer recording states, and less duplicated UI. Apple Intelligence routing is also more reliable. Captures are interpreted with stronger structured understanding, better destination handling, safer fallbacks, and improved protection against incomplete or uncertain actions. Also improved: • Better handling of short notes • Safer recovery after interrupted processing • More reliable disabled-destination fallback • Clearer Watch, Action Button, and iPhone capture state • Fixes for cases where passive recordings should remain reviewable notes

2.4.2 introduces bug fixes More reliable notifications when Apple Watch recordings reach your iPhone and are ready to process Clearer notification permission setup for new and existing users Updated Apple Watch complications with a clearer microphone capture icon Fixed cloud-provider selection across classification, multiple-action evaluation, and writing actions General reliability improvements

What’s New in 2.4.1 Afterthought is now more capable while keeping you in control. Split one recording into multiple actions, ready to review and send separately with Pro. Turn captured notes into drafts, polished text, replies, ideas, plans, or journal entries. Use Apple Intelligence for private on-device understanding on supported devices. Route more reliably with improved destination recognition and safer task detection. Send to new destinations including Messages and Evernote. Enjoy clearer review screens, improved settings, and refined iPhone and Apple Watch capture.

Afterthought 2.4.0 is a major voice-to-action update. Apple Intelligence is now the standard engine on supported devices, with Classic as the compatibility fallback. Captures are safer, review is clearer, and Pro users can turn spoken thoughts into drafts, polished text, replies, ideas, plans, or journal versions. What’s new: Apple Intelligence by default on supported devices Safer routing so notes and observations are less likely to become unwanted tasks Clearer review before sending, storing, or forwarding Pro writing actions for drafts, polish, replies, ideas, plans, and journal versions Undo writing changes or restore the original spoken transcript Cleaner Settings with clearer app, privacy, appearance, and AI controls Voice-reactive recording feedback on iPhone, Apple Watch, and Dynamic Island Better Apple Watch transfer status Added Messages and Evernote destinations Improved destination fields for tasks, notes, email, calendar, Slack, Notion, and more Attachments on supported review routes

Added TickTick URL scheme integration. Expanded destination adapter support. Updated website integration documentation. Website now contains docs url linking to destination schemas, so LLM users can understand what to specify for more detailed fields. Fixed an issue where some notes could be processed multiple times.

Smarter sending for structured destinations Afterthought now prepares notes more carefully for destinations that accept specific fields, including Todoist, Notion, Slack, Email, and Obsidian. It uses the fields each app can currently support and preserves anything else in the note body, making sends safer and more predictable. Improved app handoff reliability App handoff and URL-based sending is now more reliable for destinations such as Obsidian, Bear, Day One, and Things. When the destination app opens successfully, Afterthought now handles that as a successful handoff instead of leaving the note stuck or retrying unnecessarily. Clearer delivery status Notes now show more useful routing states, including when they are saved, sent, retrying, or need attention. Failed sends are easier to understand and less likely to appear stuck in processing. Easier inbox review New quick filters make it easier to switch between saved notes, sent notes, and action-oriented notes. More control over cleanup Settings now includes delete options for all notes, saved notes, or sent notes. Ready for more destinations The routing system has been improved behind the scenes, making it easier to add support for more apps in future. If there is a destination you want Afterthought to support, please send a request.

bug fixes Fixes several crashes and reliability issues: 4B on-device models (Qwen3, Gemma3) are more stable under memory pressure, back-to-back notes now process consistently without falling back to the Classic engine, and switching between large models no longer crashes the app. Watch auto-record no longer triggers unexpectedly on wrist raise. Watch battery drain significantly reduced. The toolbar status icon is now a live animation — a pulsing brain while thinking, waveform bars while generating, and red ripple rings while recording.

Onboarding redesign and settings UI updates to modernise and give a more liquid glass feel. Improvements to model sentiment handling and classifications

New features and general bug fixes... Things 3 & Email - Two new Pro destinations: send notes straight to Things 3 (with tag support) or open a pre-filled email draft in Mail. Watch auto-record - New setting to start recording automatically on every complication tap, whether the app is launching fresh or resuming from background. Music context - Captures the last-played track as fallback when the Now Playing info centre is empty (e.g. after pausing for a while). Fixes - Blank or one-word transcriptions are silently discarded. "Sent to iPhone" toast no longer overlaps the GPS/music status icons on Watch.
