About Subtle Voicebuds
Subtle is the companion app for Subtle Voicebuds — a device that hears only you, even at your quietest. Subtle combines dictation, voice notes, and AI chat for a complete voice-first computing experience, letting you run your day with voice. WRITE WITH A WHISPER, IN ANY APP The Subtle keyboard turns your speech into text wherever you type — messages, email, notes, search, no app-switching required. Tap the mic, speak aloud or whisper, and see your words appear. Because the Voicebuds are tuned for your quiet voice, dictation works in a noisy café or a silent library without raising your voice. CAPTURE NOTES AS YOU THINK Record a thought the moment it arrives. Your recordings are transcribed into notes you can search, edit, and organize. Your notes and chats are encrypted in transit and at rest. BUILT FOR LOUD AND QUIET SPACES Traditional earbuds were built for listening. Subtle Voicebuds are built for speaking. The Subtle Voice Engine hears you and nothing else, even in loud environments where voice traditionally fails. Whisper-level dictation means your voice still gets through, even when speaking aloud isn’t an option. The Subtle app requires Voicebuds at this time. Pair your Voicebuds in the app to get started.
What’s new
Version 1.2.0 · Updated October 20, 2026
- Autocorrect on the Subtle keyboard now makes about half as many mistakes, partly by using where you tap and by splitting words that run together. - Dictations you start from the Subtle keyboard open faster. - While you dictate, a soft glow and a label show whether your Voicebuds or your phone's microphone is listening. - Voicebuds recordings are more reliable, no longer cut off the first or last words, and keep what you said if the earbuds disconnect. - If your Voicebuds are on a call or updating, Subtle now tells you why dictation can't start and lets you try again. - Earbud Settings has a new card you can swipe through to see battery levels, tap gestures, pairing steps and case light colors. - Your notes and chats are now grouped by date, such as Yesterday, recent weeks and earlier months. - Subtle is more stable, with fixes for crashes when deleting items or signing out, and faster typing in notes.
