What's new in Blivvio.

Every release, documented. Updates are free within your license, and Blivvio updates itself in the background.

1.2.0
May 31, 2026 · Current
New
  • Redesigned interface with dark liquid-glass aesthetics and a nine-pane Settings layout.
  • Guided setup assistant walks new users through Microphone, Accessibility, and the shortcut on first launch.
  • New floating-indicator styles: Capsule, Bars, Dot, and Orb — with a live preview in Settings.
  • Transcript Pad now includes full dictation history, search, and one-click copy.
  • Voice commands pane: enable, disable, or configure built-in spoken commands.
Fixed
  • Eliminated silence hallucinations ("thank you", "okay") using on-device neural speech detection — Blivvio now uses Silero VAD to confirm real speech before transcribing, so quiet moments never produce phantom text.
  • Fixed spoken special tokens from Whisper occasionally appearing in inserted text.
  • Fixed the Orb indicator rendering as a pill shape.
  • Fixed Settings controls requiring a click on the exact label text to activate.
