Made in v1.6.3 β v1.6.5
Our latest update focuses on making Willow more reliable, more intuitive, and more tailored to you.
π Smarter Pipeline Control
You can now reset the dictation pipeline while the device is initializing or processing, meaning if Willow ever hangs, you can instantly escape with a simple Esc press. No more force-quits.
π Customizable Notifications
A brand-new Notifications tab in Settings lets you disable activity reminders if you prefer a quieter workspace.
π Authentication, Fixed
We squashed a tricky bug where cached auth data was sometimes pulling old tokens instead of refreshed ones, leading to transcription not working properly.
