Yakker: Walkie-Talkie

Yakker 1.1 — peace and quiet, on your terms. QUIET HOURS Set a start time, an end time and the days you want them, and Yakker goes silent. Incoming yaks stop playing by themselves, stop beeping and stop buzzing — and the notification arrives without a sound, even when the app is closed. Nothing is lost: every clip is saved, still shows up in your log with its unplayed dot, and plays the moment you tap it. You can still talk out whenever you like. Windows can run overnight too, so 10pm to 7am works exactly how you'd expect. There's a little moon on the channel display whenever quiet hours are on, so you always know. MUTE A FRIEND OR A GROUP Got one chatty group or one friend who yaks at 2am? Press and hold their channel and tap Mute — or swipe a group in the Groups list. Muted channels never send you a notification and never play out loud, but their clips still land in your log so you can catch up on your own schedule. Muting isn't blocking: they're never told, and they can still reach you whenever you unmute. Mute a friend and they stay quiet inside your shared groups too. Both settings follow your account, so they're the same on every device you sign in to. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE - Your unplayed clips are never cleaned up on the server any more. If you haven't listened to it yet, it waits for you however long that takes. - Tidier channel display on smaller iPhones. Thanks for yakking. Questions or ideas — ricky@browningpc.com
