TypeWhisper 1.3.0-rc5 is planned as the final release candidate before 1.3.0. This update tightens the new Workflows experience with a global fallback trigger and safer prompt boundaries, adds a round of menu bar and indicator polish, and refreshes the local-model path with the Parakeet language-filter fix plus shared Hugging Face token handling.
New Features
- Added a global
Alwaysworkflow trigger that acts as the fallback after website and app-specific workflow matches. - Grouped the menu bar actions into clearer sections so the most common dictation and app actions are faster to scan.
Bug Fixes
- Hardened workflow prompts so dictated text is treated as source content to transform instead of instructions to execute.
- Preserved focus in the original target app during local prompt processing so on-device workflows do not foreground TypeWhisper unexpectedly.
- Fixed notch timer wrapping so longer timers stay readable without breaking the indicator layout.
- Fixed Parakeet language filtering to match the current FluidAudio upstream behavior more reliably.
Other Changes
- Added a shared Hugging Face token helper for the bundled local-model plugins, including Parakeet, Gemma 4, Granite, Qwen3, Voxtral, and WhisperKit.
- Expanded automated coverage around workflow matching, workflow prompt boundaries, menu bar indicator settings, notch layout, and plugin manifest validation.
