Made in v1.3.5 - v1.3.7.

We’ve made huge strides in both performance and personalization.

First, Willow is now noticeably faster and more stable across the board. We’ve continued improving short-form processing speed, and recent issues with Chrome-related crashes have been resolved. If you ran into frustrating slowdowns or app drops—those should be gone.

We also polished our Slack integration and personalization features. Slack messages now adapt better to your tone and style, and we’ve stopped insights from accidentally showing up from apps like Cursor and Windsurf. That was unexpected (and kind of weird)—thanks to the users who caught it.

As part of a broader privacy and control push:

• Auto-dictionary is now much less aggressive. Words won’t get added randomly anymore—there’s now a local cache system that filters for intent.

• You can cancel and recover transcriptions using the Escape key, with a visual toast in the top-right corner confirming the action.

• Your Profile page now shows your first name, last name, and email clearly.

• And in Settings > Privacy, you can now delete all local transcripts with one click.

We also think we resolved the issue where Willow would ask you to update twice in a row (but let us know if you still see it).

Finally, we’re still actively working on improving personalization accuracy—especially making sure that it works seamlessly without interfering with basic listening. Some users reported that personalization tweaks caused hiccups in standard dictation. That’s being addressed right now.

Thanks again to all the early users pushing this forward. Your feedback is what helps us move fast, fix things, and stay ahead!
