Better Stability, Privacy, and Control

Made in v1.3.8 – v1.4.2

This update focused on laying a stronger foundation for Willow: making it more stable, privacy-conscious, and controllable in the background.

πŸ”’ More Privacy & Control

  • Delete all local transcripts with a single click in Settings > Privacy.

  • Cancel or recover transcriptions instantly using the Escape key, complete with a visual toast confirmation.

βš™οΈ Better Stability

  • Personalization settings now persist across restarts.

🎧 Audio Intelligence

  • Audio Ducking is now live (Settings > Audio) β€” system audio automatically lowers when Willow is listening.

  • Quiet mode audio processing has been improved for better accuracy in low-noise environments.

This release sets the stage for everything that’s coming β€” faster, more secure, and more reliable dictation.
