At MSBridge, we've always been about empowering you to gather your thoughts and keep them private. With Voice Notes, we're doubling down on that commitment, ensuring all your voice recordings are treated with the utmost privacy and kept securely local, right on your device.
So, let's dive into all the incredible features we've packed into this release:

🌐 Share, Export, and Control: Your Data, Your Terms
We believe in giving you ultimate control over your content. Voice Notes in v8 introduces robust options for both secure sharing and unparalleled privacy:
- Secure Sharing, Simplified: Need to share a voice note? Utilize our secure sharing feature, leveraging Firebase, Dynamic Links, and Uploadthing for a simple, single-link share. It's designed for convenience, but we're also expanding these features with even more private and secure options.
- Export and Download: Easily export and download any of your voice notes in various supported formats. This makes sharing with external tools or archiving your notes incredibly straightforward.
- Privacy-First & Open Source: Here's where MSBridge truly stands out. While we offer cloud-backed sharing for convenience, we also provide the choice for complete local control. The entire codebase, flow, and data model for Voice Notes are available on GitHub. If you prefer, you can fork the code, make changes, and even completely opt out of our cloud storage and database.
- Full Local Control: With simple toggles within the app, you can disable share links and even the entire Firebase backend, ensuring everything remains completely local to your device. Your data, your device, your absolute privacy.
🛠️ Under the Hood: Built for Performance and Reliability
This wasn't just a simple feature addition; it was a deep dive into engineering excellence. We've introduced entirely new data models, repositories, and services (voice_note_model, voice_note_repo, voice_note_share_repo, voice_note_service, voice_note_export_service) to ensure Voice Notes is not only powerful but also incredibly performant, scalable, and future-proof. Extensive testing, including voice_integration_test, voice_ui_test, and more, guarantees a robust and reliable experience you can depend on. We've also refactored error handling and date formatting to ensure a smoother experience.
