Willow changelog

Windowsv2.1.17

Better glossary corrections and a shorter onboarding

Glossary replacements work correctly again, and practice steps can now be skipped during onboarding.

Macv2.3.19

Fewer, clearer Scribe suggestions

Willow now keeps app-aware Scribe suggestions focused by showing no more than three at a time.

Macv2.3.18

Scribe suggestions meet you where you write

Willow can now suggest Scribe while you are writing in supported message and email composers.

Windowsv2.1.16

A hands-free shortcut for Scribe

Start and stop Scribe with the same shortcut, and receive the Keyboard Killers invitation at 40,000 dictated words.

iPhonev2.10Reconstructed

A steadier keyboard and a smoother first dictation

This version was shipped through a version-bump commit instead of a tag, so its notes are reconstructed from the changes since the last tagged release.

Windowsv2.1.15

Offline dictation works reliably now

Re-transcribing an old recording from History now works in offline mode too

Macv2.3.16

Paste your clipboard by voice

A new dictation action lets you paste the text currently on your clipboard without switching away from what you are doing.

Windowsv2.1.14

Play back or download the original audio for saved recordings right from History

If Willow is interrupted during a dictation, recoverable audio is kept in History so you can transcribe it again instead of losing it

Macv2.3.15

A stronger foundation for what comes next

A large behind-the-scenes refactor makes future Willow features easier to build and maintain.

Windowsv2.1.13

Long Scribe responses no longer stop partway through with "Something went wrong" after they'…

Long Scribe responses no longer stop partway through with "Something went wrong" after they've already started writing

Macv2.3.14

Weekly limits can adapt without a new download

Willow can now adjust free-plan weekly limits and the experience at the limit through remote configuration.

Macv2.3.13

Willow learns from your edits

New learning notifications show when Willow has picked up a correction, with clearer and more consistent notification styling.

Windowsv2.1.12

Dictating in VS Code no longer sprinkles stray "@" symbols through your words

Fixed a crash on Windows when opening the menu from the tray icon

Macv2.3.12

Smarter Scribe context and clearer failures

Scribe gets better context from supported coding tools, dictionary learning works more broadly, and failed dictations are easier to understand.

Macv2.3.11

Better support for remote desktops

Willow can insert text more reliably while you are using VNC or another remote desktop, and copying from Scribe history works more consistently.

Macv2.3.10

Fewer noisy audio warnings

Willow no longer interrupts you with quiet-audio and bandwidth warnings that were creating more noise than help.

Macv2.3.9

A clearer team upgrade experience

Team billing, onboarding, and app-aware context all received practical improvements.

Macv2.3.8

More reliable Scribe connections

Scribe now closes its live connection more cleanly when a request finishes, is cancelled, or fails.

Windowsv2.1.11

Willow now speaks up when your microphone sounds off — too quiet, distorted, or not picking…

Cancelled a recording by accident? It's kept in your History now, with a one-click way to transcribe it after all

Macv2.3.7

More reliable learning, with a simpler app

Glossary learning moved onto a stronger foundation, Scribe learning responses decode correctly, and an unused notch mode was removed.

Macv2.3.6

Behind-the-scenes reliability work

This release focused on making Willow’s internal startup and dependency structure easier to reason about.

Macv2.3.5

Willow learns from dictation edits

Learning from corrections is no longer limited to Scribe; regular dictation can improve from your edits too.

Clear feedback when Willow can’t hear you

Willow now explains when a recording is silent or unusable, while updates relaunch more quietly.

Windowsv2.1.10

Willow now stays quietly in the tray after auto-updating instead of popping open

Fixed a rare issue where a very short recording could block your next one from starting
