What's New in Clara

We ship most weeks. Here is what changed, in plain English rather than release notes.

Versions 1.20.0 to 1.20.3

Skip Clara, post-call feedback and clearer transfers

New

  • Post-call feedback: rate how a call went the moment it ends, so we can keep tuning how Clara sounds and when she steps in.
  • Always ask for the caller’s name: on urgent transfers Clara now confirms who is calling before she puts them through to you.

Improved

  • Excluded Contacts is now Skip Clara: same feature, a name that says what it actually does.
  • Live transfers sound clearer: you get a connection tone when a transfer goes through, plus a heads-up when the line quality drops.
  • Transfer history is easier to read: unanswered attempts collapse into a single “No answer” line instead of one row per attempt.

Fixed

  • The activity list no longer jumps back to the top when you open search.
Versions 1.19.3 to 1.19.5

Referrals, and live transfers without the setup

New

  • Referrals: invite another business owner to Clara from inside the app, with a share button and a short link that is easy to send.

Improved

  • Live transfers without the setup: you no longer need call forwarding configured before you can transfer a caller to yourself.
  • Filtered calls live in the Inbox: the separate spam filter is gone, so everything Clara handled sits in one list.
  • Names you recognize: when a caller is already in your phone contacts, Clara shows your name for them instead of a bare number.
  • Cleaner transcripts: the call transcript screen was rebuilt to be easier to follow.
  • A faster start: the loading animation at the beginning of setup is gone, so the app opens straight into the first step.

Fixed

  • Dozens of wording and translation fixes across onboarding, call forwarding and the receptionist screens, plus full Chinese support.
Versions 1.17.10 to 1.19.2

Clara speaks your language

New

  • App language selector: choose the language Clara’s app runs in. Spanish, French, Portuguese and Chinese join English.
  • Transcript language toggle: read a conversation in the language it happened in, or translated into yours.
  • Call sounds and haptics: decide how the app rings and how it buzzes.
  • Blocked Callers: a proper screen in Settings for the numbers you never want Clara to pick up.

Improved

  • Redesigned call screen: bigger controls and a clearer picture of what is happening while a call is live.
  • Customers replaces Call History: the tab now groups everything by the person who called instead of by the individual call.
  • New activity filters: move between Relevant, All items and Filtered from a single menu.
  • A faster activity list: long histories load a page at a time instead of all at once.

Fixed

  • The dialer again lets you edit in the middle of a number, and the number no longer clips on smaller screens.
  • The receptionist status label now reads correctly while Clara is paused.
Versions 1.17.2 to 1.17.9

Pause Clara and live transfers arrive

New

  • Pause Clara: stop Clara answering for a set stretch of time without turning anything off or undoing your setup.
  • Live Transfers: when a call is urgent, Clara puts the caller through to you while they are still on the line.
  • Dial pad and contact picker: call out from your Clara number without leaving the app.
  • Share a transcript: copy or send a whole conversation from the transcript screen.
  • Get directions: open a caller’s address in maps with one tap.

Improved

  • Redesigned customer screen with contact editing built in, so you can fix a name or number where you read it.
  • App icon badge showing how many inquiries are still waiting on you.
  • Restore purchase for anyone reinstalling the app on a new phone.

Fixed

  • Archiving and spam actions now stick instead of reappearing after a refresh.
  • On Android, long-press menus on activity rows and the test call speaker selector both work again.
