[Download Honkpad](https://honkpad.com/download/) ## 0.6.0 October 25, 2026 Chat combos, first-time chatter welcomes and Twitch watch streaks. YouTube, Kick and TikTok chat can play memes for free through Social Stream Ninja. Your music and game audio get quieter while a meme plays. Backups, and automatic snapshots before updates. A stream log with VOD times helps answer copyright emails. End credits for your outro, a Save replay action, TTS speed, and chat memes pause when mods turn on followers-only during a raid. Every version is listed at honkpad.com/changelog. ## 0.5.0 October 25, 2026 Honkpad 0.5.0: a Connections panel shows every source with Test buttons for chat, bits, subs, raids and tips, so you know memes fire before you go live. Boards let you switch meme sets per game, with hotkeys and Stream Deck keys. Repeat triggers merge into one meme with a x2, x3 badge, and a new Skip button cuts the current meme. TTS now removes slurs, threats and personal info by default, and Twitch bans or deleted messages stop that viewer's memes; mods can use !hp skip and !hp stop. The setup for new streamers can end your stream and lets you finish later. Stream Deck and local control are free; Streamer.bot can forward Kick, TikTok and follow events. ## 0.4.5 October 25, 2026 Try Honkpad without an account: build your board, add memes and set up OBS first, then sign in for free when memes go to your live stream. New "I'm new, set it up for me" setup takes you from no OBS to live: it turns on OBS's connection for you, makes a stream scene with your screen, mic and memes, saves your Twitch or YouTube stream key into OBS and starts the stream. ## 0.4.4 October 25, 2026 Simpler everywhere. Tips setup is one ordered card with autosave, On stream fits one screen with tips waiting for approval on top, and adding memes takes one button or a pasted link. One vocabulary across the app, site, phone remote and Stream Deck, clearer dialogs and notices, and the tip page tells viewers plainly what happens to their payment. ## 0.4.3 October 25, 2026 Windows: AltGr no longer triggers hotkeys, sound recovers after audio device changes, and installed language voices can read text aloud. Tips: prices are protected when your Stripe currency changes, the fee is shown correctly after plan changes, and switching accounts clears the old account's data. Safer saves, an honest setup wizard, correct plural forms in every language, and overlay text that always fits the screen. ## 0.4.2 October 25, 2026 Paid memes are confirmed only when they really showed on stream, otherwise the viewer is refunded. Twitch chat reconnects after sleep or Wi-Fi changes. A damaged card no longer empties the library. Hotkeys can't be set to Shift+letter. Fixes for right-to-left and emoji text effects, phone remote and tip widgets. ## 0.4.1 October 25, 2026 Fixes: Pause now also stops queued memes, Reset pairing really revokes the old phone link, Windows voice falls back to the default voice. New: optional 'sounds by Honkpad' credit in the overlay, Stream Deck status endpoint. ## 0.4.0 October 25, 2026 Windows version. Send feedback from the app. Pause all triggers with one switch. Random meme hotkeys by tag. Drag cards to reorder. ## 0.3.9 October 24, 2026 Honkpad no longer asks for your keychain password. If you signed in with an older version, sign in once more. ## 0.3.8 October 24, 2026 Honkpad is now signed and notarized by Apple: no more "Open Anyway" on first launch. ## 0.3.7 October 24, 2026 No more keychain password prompts after updates. macOS may ask one last time when this version first starts. ## 0.3.6 October 24, 2026 Fixes: memes over the Free limit are now shown as locked instead of silently playing, early access is tied to your account, and the phone remote stays paired after you reload the page. Stronger text-to-speech word filter. ## 0.3.5 October 24, 2026 Safer sign-in: the code now comes from honkpad.com, the approval page shows which Mac is asking and from where, and asks for the code on screen when the browser is on another network. The local overlay server only answers Honkpad, OBS and your phone. ## 0.3.4 October 24, 2026 Sign in with your free Honkpad account: passkey, Google or email in your browser. Remove a Mac from your account on honkpad.com and it signs out. Release files now come straight from honkpad.com. ## 0.3.3 October 24, 2026 Simpler app: four places (Memes, Add memes, Stream, Viewers), a status pill with one-click fixes, a 3-step setup that opens on first launch, Settings in its own window (Cmd+,). Pro is on for everyone during early access. Tips preview hidden by default. Stream CSV export now saves. ## 0.3.2 October 23, 2026 Streams: setups, live control room, recap and history. Meme combos and a tip link in the overlay. Required updates for old versions; Pro is free during early access. Anonymous usage data (can be turned off in Settings). ## 0.2.0 October 19, 2026 Paid text effects (5 styles plus a voice), a price for each effect, a 5% fee (0% on Pro), a stage with an OBS preview and automatic meme placement. ## 0.1.0 October 19, 2026 First public build: meme soundboard with an OBS overlay, Pro, and viewer tips.
