What we have changed

Every fix and improvement that has shipped, newest first.

Version 0.1.8

Latest
  • AddedVoice mode — answers are read aloud to your phone's earphone, hands-free, so you can keep your eyes on the interviewer. It starts on its own once your phone connects, and you can set a wake word (a natural phrase like “great question”) to have it answer the last part of the conversation on cue.
  • AddedExport any past interview's full question-and-answer transcript as a PDF.
  • ImprovedA smoother phone companion — connect to your desktop session in a tap, with settings shown read-only on the phone so nothing changes mid-interview.

Version 0.1.7

  • ImprovedAnswers are more reliable and complete — grounded in your CV from the very first question, every part of a multi-part question gets answered, and a long, multi-sentence question comes back as one full answer instead of being cut into pieces. Prefer instant replies? A High detection mode answers the moment you pause.
  • AddedOpen any past interview from your history to read its full question-and-answer transcript.
  • ImprovedA clearer live screen: the transcription panel scrolls and keeps your whole question in view, with a visible cue while an answer is on its way.

Version 0.1.6

  • ImprovedExplore before you subscribe — set up your profile and try everything without a plan; you only need to upgrade when you start a live interview.
  • ImprovedPolish from real interview sessions: clearer on-screen status while a question and its answer are processed, a steadier window, and signing out on one device no longer signs you out on your others.
  • AddedA confirmation email with a PDF receipt after every purchase.

Version 0.1.5

  • ImprovedSharper screenshot answering for coding rounds, and a more polished phone view.
  • ImprovedYour account runs on one device at a time — signing in elsewhere signs the previous desktop out.

Version 0.1.4

  • AddedRead answers aloud on your phone. In stealth mode, pair your phone and put in an earbud — MentionBell reads each answer out, at a speed you set, so you can look away from the screen and keep up.
  • ImprovedA cleaner home and mode screen, question detection that waits through natural pauses (now tunable to how your interviewer speaks), and keyboard shortcuts you can edit from Settings.

Version 0.1.3

  • ImprovedThe macOS app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it installs and opens without security warnings.
  • ImprovedA calmer, more discreet experience: hiding the window leaves just a small control bar, screenshots taken while hidden reach your phone straight away, a new release never interrupts an interview in progress, and the app icon is quieter.

Version 0.1.2

  • ImprovedAnswers wait for you to finish asking and ignore your own voice, so a long question gets one considered answer instead of being cut into pieces.
  • ImprovedSmaller downloads, a steadier screen while an answer forms, and custom instructions that carry more weight on every answer.

Version 0.1.0

Public beta
  • AddedThe first public build — live question detection with answers grounded in your CV, screenshot answering for coding rounds, and interview history with full transcripts.
  • AddedStealth mode with QR pairing to your phone, and a private mode that runs speech recognition entirely on your own computer.
