What's New in The Unsaid
1.1.0
May 19, 2026
Version 1.1 brings the features most requested since launch. VOICE TRANSCRIPTION Voice entries are now transcribed on your phone using Apple's on-device speech recognition. Your audio never leaves the device. Transcribed text is searchable alongside your typed entries, and you can edit any transcript if recognition got something wrong. REFLECTIONS A new free-text journal lives in the Patterns tab — a place to write down what you're noticing about yourself as you read your own patterns. Distinct from entries (the things you didn't say), reflections are what you're learning by paying attention. THREE EXPORT FORMATS - Password-protected PDF of your monthly letter — useful for sharing with a therapist - Encrypted .unsaid backup for moving your data to a new phone - Readable .zip archive with CSV files and an interactive HTML viewer for browsing your data outside the app PRIVACY UPGRADES Voice recordings are now encrypted on-device with AES-256-GCM, matching the encryption used for text entries. Everything you create — text, voice, transcripts, reflections, monthly letters — is now protected with the same strong encryption. HISTORY SEARCH AND FILTERS The History tab now supports full-text search across all entries and transcripts, plus filters by who, feeling, would-say, outcome, mode (voice/text), and date range. Find anything you've ever released in seconds. WEEKLY SUMMARY AND QUIET HOURS Optional weekly summary notification every Sunday morning, generated locally from your past week. Configurable quiet hours for all notifications, defaulting to 10 PM through 7 AM. CUSTOM PROMPTS Add up to 20 of your own prompts to the rotation on the Home screen. Useful for tailoring the app to a specific season of life or a specific practice. APPEARANCE A new Light / Dark / System toggle in Settings lets you override your phone's system appearance just for The Unsaid. Plus dozens of smaller polish improvements throughout the app — improved legibility, faster keyboard response, better calendar visibility, smoother animations. Thank you to everyone who reached out with feedback. Most of v1.1 came directly from you.
