Original release notes
Second Brain 1.6 keeps work visible and gives voice capture a private local route: • Follow captures, searches, edits, and purchases through a live status orb that expands into progress, results, and recovery controls • Choose on-device Apple Speech transcription that never uploads audio, or the existing permission-gated Online transcription • Take a photo directly from Capture and review it with the rest of the input • Keep recordings safe through suspension, network loss, and retryable transcription failures • See clearer Capture, Inbox, Activity, Ask, Notes, onboarding, and Settings surfaces
