What's New in Fleeting Thoughts
1.6
September 30, 2026
Fleeting Thoughts 1.6 keeps the same fast capture flow, with more dependable dictation and easier ways to organize your thoughts. New in 1.6: - Custom Words: choose the spelling you want and add comma-separated variations that dictation gets wrong. Your names, products, and everyday vocabulary can appear correctly as you speak. - Improved recording reliability for short thoughts, longer recordings, and pauses, with better sentence formatting. Tap the return arrow while recording to start a new paragraph. - Optional on-device Apple Intelligence cleanup refines transcript punctuation while preserving your words. Turn AI Cleanup on or off in Settings > Intelligence & Siri. Requires a supported device with Apple Intelligence available; recording and local formatting work without it. - Easier checklists: Return creates the next unchecked item, and Return on an empty item ends the list. Each checkbox controls its own item. - Drag to reorder tags. Open Settings > Reorder Tags, or press and hold a tag in Timeline and choose Reorder. - Saved Audio: choose Transcript Only, Compact, or Uncompressed, with storage estimates in Settings. - Choose whether saved thoughts appear in Spotlight and Siri search. Formatting, AI cleanup, search privacy, and quick-capture setup are together in Settings > Intelligence & Siri. - Watch recording has a cancel option for accidental starts. Recent highlights: - Share in screenshots, images, links, files, videos, and screen recordings. - Export selected thoughts as text only or with their media attachments. - Crop images, trim videos, and keep the original capture attached.
