🛠️ Stability, Control, and More Personalization

Made in v1.6.3 – v1.6.5

Our latest update focuses on making Willow more reliable, more intuitive, and more tailored to you.

🚀 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.

🔔 Customizable Notifications
A brand-new Notifications tab in Settings lets you disable activity reminders if you prefer a quieter workspace.

🔑 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.

📦 Previous Updates
