What's New in Snipset: October 2026 Update and Changelog

Our October 2026 update brings Snipset for Linux up to 0.6.886, Windows up to 0.6.863 and Android to 1.0.7. Here are highlights from the October releases, with the platforms that have each item. The full list lives in the changelog.

AI and web search

Claude AI, optional and per feature (Windows 0.6.857, Linux 0.6.873). Features such as the AI chatbot, translation and dictation polish can use Claude through Snipset's server. Each feature has its own switch, and all start off. A dedicated post covers the details. Since Windows 0.6.862 and Linux 0.6.883, each AI reply in AI Chat, the AI chatbot and the prompt overlay shows a Claude or Local badge.

TinyFish web search (Windows 0.6.857, Linux 0.6.873). TinyFish Search joins the web search providers, and Snipset also reads the top two result pages through TinyFish Fetch. Every provider keeps its own API key.

Voice and speech

Telegram voice notes and files. Send a voice note to your Snipset bot and its transcript lands in your Snipset clipboard history and speech history (Windows 0.6.857, Linux 0.6.873). Files up to 20 MB are saved to your Downloads folder (Windows 0.6.863, Linux 0.6.884). A dedicated post walks through it.

Read Aloud with ElevenLabs (Windows 0.6.857, Linux 0.6.873). Bring your own ElevenLabs API key and pick a voice and model; Snipset tells you when it falls back to the system voice. It has its own post too.

Dictation by sentence (Windows 0.6.857, Linux 0.6.873). Dictation commits finished sentences while you talk, so stopping only transcribes the unfinished tail. Windows 0.6.856 and Linux 0.6.872 also bundle the Indonesian Whisper base model instead of tiny.

Privacy and control

API keys out of plain text (Windows 0.6.857, Linux 0.6.873). Keys and tokens for Ollama, web search, the Telegram bot, Todoist and ElevenLabs are encrypted with your Windows account (DPAPI) on Windows and kept in the system keychain on Linux. A dedicated post explains how.

Feature modules (Windows 0.6.855, Linux 0.6.870). The Feature modules section in Settings turns off unused features and stops their background work right away. Snippet expansion always stays on.

Installing the October 2026 update

Updating or rolling back from Settings shows a spinner and the download progress on the button you clicked, and a second click no longer starts a second download (Windows 0.6.863, Linux 0.6.885).

On Linux 0.6.876, the Read Aloud shortcut reads the clipboard aloud again on Wayland, and a shortcut you change in Snipset changes on KDE Plasma too.

Android and macOS

Android 1.0.7 adds sound effects with a volume slider, plus a consent screen that explains what the Accessibility service reads before text expansion is turned on. It is signed with a new key: if 1.0.6 is on your phone, uninstall it once before installing 1.0.7. Data on the phone is not carried over.

macOS (beta): build 0.6.849 is out for Apple Silicon Macs, not yet verified on a real Mac.
