Cleo Voice is here
I built a new iOS app called Cleo Voice, hold the button, say what you need, and it's handled, the same way Text Cleo works over SMS. It's on TestFlight now. Since it launched, I've also added deep links so every reply shows you exactly what got created, a place for Cleo to remember what's in your fridge, and photos wherever it mentions someone.
Here's everything that landed in Cleo Connect over the last two weeks.
Cleo Voice
Cleo Voice is a new iOS app. Hold the button, say what you need, and it transcribes on your device and sends the text to Cleo. The full conversation is there to scroll back through, and you can tap your last message to edit it if you didn't phrase it quite right. It works with everything the text version does: tracking entries, grocery lists, meal planning, trips and packing lists, tasks. It's build 1.0.0 on TestFlight right now, early and rough in places.
See exactly what Cleo just did
When you ask Cleo to create a task, a grocery item, a recipe, a trip, or a packing item, whether by text or by voice, its reply now ends with a tappable link straight to it, so you can open it up and take a look instead of just trusting the confirmation.
Fridge & pantry, through Cleo
Cleo now has a place to remember what's in your fridge and pantry. Share a photo of a receipt or just tell it what you picked up, and it keeps a running note. It already knows to add an item once you check it off your grocery list, and it factors the pantry into meal planning.
Photos, wherever Cleo mentions someone
Profile photos now show up across the connected surfaces, including Cleo Voice's own settings screen, wherever a name used to be initials-only.
Improved
- Tools: all your trips and packing lists are reachable from Text Cleo and Cleo Voice now, add items, check them off, or ask what's still unpacked for a trip. Cleo can also now read, complete, or discard your suggested Actions, not just tasks and groceries.
- Tools: the daily recap now covers overnight into this morning, not just yesterday, so how the night went is never dropped. Its nutrition section also tells the story of the past week rather than just reciting yesterday, and it draws on two standing-context fields, About you and About your family, for steadier framing.
- Tools: trip descriptions are now visible to Cleo too, so it has the same context you do when helping plan one.
Fixed
- Entry lookups for a specific date now return the right entries for your local time zone, not UTC. An evening entry was sometimes appearing on the wrong day.
- Deleting a recipe step now removes the ingredients that were attached to it, instead of leaving them floating on the recipe.
- Opening or closing a bottle through chat or voice sometimes failed with a confusing "a bottle is already open" message. Fixed, and closing a bottle session and logging how much was actually drunk are now two clearly separate steps for Cleo, so a finished bottle doesn't go unrecorded.
- The daily recap occasionally named the wrong day of the week. It's anchored to the real date now.
- Cleo Voice: the composer sometimes left a stray line break after sending a message. The keyboard also dismisses when you tap outside it now, and new messages stay in view instead of getting cut off.
