Changelog
Every release of Wavenote, newest first.
0.5.8
- Wavenote+ can coach you through a sales call: when the other person pushes back on price or wants to think it over, the card shows the line to say next.
0.5.7
- Your dictionary sits in one tidy, scrollable list with the word you said beside the word you meant.

- The library sidebar uses unified colours and filled icons across all sections.
0.5.2
- The dictation panel takes less of your screen and lets more of what is behind it through.
- A translation key takes the letter you would reach for, and a rewrite using that letter moves to a free one.
0.5.1
- The dictation panel answers your voice with a band of colour that rises as you talk.
- The assistant's field lights up while it works on your answer.
- A new record button, and the bars it sits in take the system's own glass.
0.5.0
- Press Option-Command-C in any app to keep a link, a file or a quick note in your Inbox.
- Notes read as documents and edit as Markdown, with a formatting bar and a slash menu.
- Highlight a passage, add a comment to it, and find it again with search.

- The library window has an assistant pane that answers from your notes.
- Later, Archived and a 30-day Trash keep the library tidy without losing anything.
- Resurface brings back a note you have not opened in a while, and the space bar previews the one under the pointer.
- Right-click any note for every action it has, and fold the sidebar when you want more room.
- A note edited on two devices at once keeps the changes from both.
0.4.2
- Sign in with your email and a purchase made on one device works on the other.
- Your account page lists the devices you are signed in on, and signs any of them out.
- A card over your meeting keeps a list of what you have not asked yet, ticks off what gets answered, and says how the call went at the end. Part of Wavenote+.
- A note sits in one Space, so filing it is one decision instead of two.
0.4.1
- Your library has an Inbox, so you can keep something now and decide where it belongs later.
- Spaces gather the notes behind one piece of work, and a note can sit in more than one of them.
- Wavenote can propose a title, tags and a Space for a note. Nothing is filed until you accept it, and Undo puts everything back.
- Star a note to keep it one click away.
0.3.30
- Settings marks every Wavenote+ feature, so you can see what the subscription covers before you open a pane.
- A meeting recording ends when the call does, whether you started it yourself or your calendar armed it.
- The cards on the Style pane line up with each other, whatever length their samples run to.
0.3.29
- Learned corrections are more careful: unfinished edits and one-off rewrites no longer become rules.
- Correcting a word back to what you said removes the learned rule instead of teaching its opposite.
0.3.28
- The offer to record a call looks sharper, with a shadow that fades out cleanly.
0.3.27
- The recording length in the menu bar keeps counting while the menu is open.
0.3.26

0.3.25
- Every language is now written in its own language, wherever you pick one.
- Notes are kept in iCloud Drive by default, and you can still keep them on this Mac alone.
- Spoken numbers now has a switch of its own in Vocabulary.
- Wavenote offers to record a call in more of the apps people take calls in.
- Start Wavenote when you log in, from the About pane.
- Better handling of French words that come out split in two.
0.3.24
- Choosing to have a dictation typed in and copied keeps it in your clipboard history, where asking for your clipboard back now only decides what sits on top of it.
0.3.23
- A word split in 2 comes back whole when you dictate with more than one language switched on.
0.3.22
- Asking for your clipboard to be put back after a dictation now leaves your clipboard history exactly as you found it, with the words still there to paste in the moment.
0.3.21
- Choosing to have a dictation typed in and copied always leaves it on your clipboard, and it waits in your clipboard history after whatever you had copied comes back.
0.3.20
- The recording pill stays easy to pick out over any window, however dark it is.
0.3.19
- Asking for your clipboard back leaves nothing of the dictation behind in your clipboard history.
- A dictation that picked up no words leaves your clipboard untouched.
0.3.18
- Dictation leaves your clipboard the way it found it, in every app.
- Choosing to keep a copy of what you said puts one entry in your clipboard, not two.
0.3.17
- Buying Wavenote opens the place your licence key goes, with the field ready for it.
- Dictating in Japanese gives back the memory it used once you move on to something else.
- Reordering your microphones follows your pointer and settles where you let go.
0.3.16
- Transcribing a long recording finishes sooner.
- The words Wavenote has learned from you are gathered one line per word, with every way it heard them underneath.
- Taking back a correction gives up only the spelling you undid and keeps the rest of what you taught.
0.3.15
- The recording pill follows you to the screen you are typing on, for the whole of a dictation.
- A word split in two is put back together even when the piece left behind reads as a word of its own.
0.3.14
- Setting up Wavenote starts by asking what you want it for, and the answer decides which screens you are shown and which are skipped.
- The first screen is drawn with the app's own mark, printed as a field of dots.
- Setup asks about translating only when you speak more than one language, and asks where your notes are kept only if you came to keep them.
- The last screen of setup says back what you asked for, in the words you asked for it in.
- Signing in on a third device keeps the devices your licence was sold, so nothing you paid for is given up.
- Warming up without dictating afterwards gives the memory back on its own.
- On iPhone, Next puts the thing that has been waiting longest at the top, the same way your Mac's menu does.
0.3.13
- Wavenote speaks French, from the first run to the last button, and follows whichever language your Mac is set to.
- The panel that asks for the microphone, your calendar and your Mac's own audio asks in your language.
- Asking Siri to dictate or to write something down works in French too.
0.3.12
- Wavenote learns a new word only from a correction you typed yourself, so what it picks up is always yours.
0.3.11
- Your notes open in a window you can size to the work beside it, and it comes back the size you left it.
- A note is laid out as a page to read, at the width of something written rather than the width of a switch.
- Asking a question across everything you have recorded and starting a new recording sit together in one bar under the list.
- The tags you write are in the sidebar next to the ready-made ways of slicing the library.
- Wavenote is in the app switcher for as long as one of its windows is open, so you can tab back to what you were reading.
- Checking for updates tells you what changed, then offers to install and restart, to leave it for now, or to skip that version.
- A copy of Wavenote that cannot replace itself says so first, and opens your browser only when you choose to go there.
- You can pick which preset a rewrite uses when you have not asked for a particular one, and that choice travels between your Mac and your iPhone.
- On iPhone, the Rewriting screen names the preset your rewritten dictations actually go through.
- The list of apps Wavenote never rewrites starts empty, so the only ones on it are the ones you put there.
0.3.10
- A word that arrives split in two is put back together, in whichever language you were actually speaking.
- The dictations you keep copy as one block, either as you said them or as they were inserted.
- Notes and Tasks have a window of their own, so Settings is a shorter list to read.
- Wavenote offers to record a meeting only in the apps people hold conversations in.
- A recording that started from that offer stops when the call does.
- A meeting cut short by a restart comes back whole, with its words.
- The first run ends by showing what else Wavenote does, as switches you can turn on there and then, and says how long your trial runs.
- A word Wavenote learned from a correction can be taken back from the menu bar.
- The languages offered first are the ones this Mac is already set up in.
- A rewrite gives you your own words back, whatever those words happened to ask for.
- Long meetings stay as quick to follow in the second hour as in the first.
- The time left in a trial matches the trial.
0.3.9
- Wavenote now records how long a dictation took to come back, so a slow one can be traced instead of guessed at.
0.3.8
- Checking for an update offers to install it and restart, or to skip that version, rather than only naming it.
- An update you put off stays put off for the day.
0.3.7
- Your words appear just as quickly on the first dictation after a break as on the tenth in a row.
- A dictation goes ahead even when your microphone is slow to answer.
0.3.6
- The first dictation after Wavenote starts lands as surely as every one after it, however soon after opening you speak.
- Licence keys are shorter. New ones start with WAVE, and the key you already have goes on working exactly as it is.
- The panel sits where it was put, from the first time it appears onwards.
0.3.5
- Dictation is steadier when one follows straight after another, however fast you go.
- A new version now takes over by itself, at a moment you are not dictating, recording or transcribing, instead of waiting for the next time you start Wavenote.
- Nothing opens over your work any more. An update arrives, and the only place a release describes itself is here.
- The mark in the menu bar holds still. It is the same wave whatever Wavenote is doing.
0.3.4
- Wavenote is in the Shortcuts app. Start a dictation from a keyboard shortcut of your own, from Spotlight, or by asking Siri, and run it again to stop.
- Write a note down or add a to-do from any shortcut, without opening Wavenote and without saying a word.
- When Wavenote copies a dictation, whatever you had copied before can come back a second later, and the words wait just under it in your clipboard history.
- The panel reads as part of the screen it hangs from, and sits against the top edge on every Mac.
0.3.3
- A new version arrives without a window asking you to take it: the menu says when one is on its way, and Wavenote tells you what it brought the next time you open it.
0.3.2
- Pause a recording and pick it up again, without ending the note or starting a second one.
- Send a note, or just its summary, as a PDF that opens the same way on every machine.
- Every job you owe carries how big it is and which part of your life it belongs to.
- Today is one deep thing and a few short ones, so there is always something to pick up in 20 minutes.
0.3.1
- Wavenote tells you what an update brought, the next time you open it. It waits for you to open the app rather than interrupting, and it appears once.
0.3.0
- Wavenote keeps a list of what you have to do, in 5 buckets: Inbox, Next, Waiting, Later and Done.
- Ask a note what it left you to do, and Wavenote reads it back as a list you can accept or throw away. Nothing is added to your list until you say so.
- Tell Wavenote what your business is and what this quarter is for, and it will name one thing to do today, and say what you are giving up for it.
- Today's one thing and your next few jobs sit in the menu bar, tickable without opening a window.
- Everything you owe is a file in the same folder as your notes, so it reaches your iPhone the moment your library is in iCloud.
- A word you said in one piece arrives in one piece, instead of being split in two.
- Files you are transcribing show their own shape as Wavenote listens through them, so you can see how far it has reached.
- The panel that says what Wavenote learned sizes itself to the words it is showing.
- Panes that hold several views share one switcher, and it no longer stretches the window.
0.2.3
- Saying "forget that" or "never mind" clears the sentence you are dictating, and Wavenote tells that apart from the same words used in passing.
- The bars in the dictation panel begin moving the moment Wavenote can hear you, so you always know when it is listening.
- Dictation keeps each language in its own alphabet.
- Words you add to your vocabulary are recognised more reliably.
- Translation offers the languages your Mac can actually download.
- The dictation panel sits precisely against the notch on every Mac.
0.2.2
- The version number sits at the foot of the menu rather than in the middle of it.
0.2.1
- The settings window keeps its size and its place as you move between panes.
- The tabs across the top of the Style pane read at a glance.
0.2.0
- Wavenote records a meeting now, hearing you and what your Mac is playing at the same time, with nothing joining the call.
- What was said is written down as the meeting runs, on your Mac, and you can watch it arrive or leave it to get on with it.
- Every recording leaves a note behind, and notes are ordinary files in a folder you choose, on your Mac or in iCloud Drive.
- Notes take tags, answer a search, and play back with the words following along, so you can jump to the moment something was said.
- Any note can leave as Markdown, ready to paste wherever you keep the rest of your writing.
- Recording asks only to hear your Mac's audio. Wavenote never asks to see your screen.
- A summary can be written for you after a recording: an overview, the points worth keeping, and who said they would do what. Part of Wavenote+.
- You can ask a note a question, or turn one into a post or an article, with Wavenote+.
0.1.1
- Settings is one window with a sidebar now, so every part of Wavenote has a place of its own.
- Transcribing files lives in that window instead of opening one of its own.
- A new Style pane sets the tone your dictation lands in for each kind of app, and how much it is tidied.
- History keeps the words as you said them, so a rewrite you did not ask for can be put back.
- Insights shows what your dictation adds up to over time, and across your Macs.
- Activating a licence takes fewer keystrokes and says plainly when it worked.
- Wavenote+ is the name for rewriting; the app itself stays a one-time purchase.
- Wavenote listens for a moment after you let go of the key, so the last word of a sentence lands whole.
- The menu bar tells you which version you are running.
0.1.0
- First build: push-to-talk dictation, file transcription with SRT, VTT and Markdown export, custom vocabulary, and AI rewriting behind a licence.
