What's New in Aloud
2.6
October 10, 2026
Aloud 2.6 — made for iPhone Duo. NEW • Closed, it's the Aloud you know, with its tabs along the side. • Open, your journal sits beside the entry you're reading. Go down the list and read one after another without losing your place. • Today opens into two: the microphone on one side, somewhere to start on the other. • Your places on the journal map, and your threads in Reflect, open beside the list too. • Open or close the phone mid-sentence and the recording carries on. As always: no account, no servers, and the reading happens on your device.
