All updates and improvements for WunderType.

What's New

v1.5.1

Streaming Corrections

Watch your corrections appear. A new experimental option types the corrected text into place as the On-Device model writes it, instead of replacing your selection all at once.

  • Streaming corrections (experimental) — switch it on in Settings → General → Experimental, and On-Device corrections are typed into place live, as the model generates them
  • On-Device only — streaming uses the local MLX model for instant output; OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Ollama keep the standard one-shot replacement
  • Works in more apps than before — because the text is typed in like a keyboard, the streaming effect reaches apps where live editing previously wasn't possible
  • Keep the target app in front while text streams in — switching away stops the correction, and ⌘Z undoes any partial text
  • Accessibility and polish — clearer VoiceOver descriptions throughout onboarding and provider setup, plus a lighter, smoother progress cursor while corrections run
v1.5.0

On-Device AI

On-Device AI is here. Correct text locally on your Mac — no Ollama, no API key, no internet after setup.

  • New \"On-Device\" AI provider runs models directly on your Mac's GPU using Apple's MLX framework
  • Download a model once, then correct text entirely offline — your text never leaves your Mac
  • Four models to choose from: Gemma 3 1B (fastest, ~0.7 GB), Granite 2B (fast, ~1.3 GB), Phi-4 Mini (balanced, ~2.0 GB), or Gemma 3 4B (best quality, ~3.0 GB)
  • Built for speed — the model warms up at launch and reuses its prepared instructions between corrections, so corrections start instantly
  • Zero setup — no external apps, no API keys. Select On-Device during onboarding and go
  • Requires Apple Silicon (M1 or later)
v1.4.3

Onboarding Improvements

Onboarding improvements based on user feedback.

  • You can now choose your keyboard shortcut during onboarding — no need to dig into Settings if the default conflicts with your apps
  • Ollama detection is faster and clearer — a live indicator shows it's still checking when Ollama isn't running
  • The completion screen no longer cuts off the button on smaller windows
  • Fixed the onboarding progress bar jumping when using the OpenAI provider path
v1.4.2

Setup & Custom Prompt Fixes

A small reliability release for setup and custom prompts.

  • Your \"Install starter prompts\" choice during setup is now respected — opting out no longer installs them anyway
  • Custom prompt shortcuts you add or change now work immediately, without restarting the app
  • Smart Selection now puts your cursor back where it was when a correction makes no changes, instead of leaving the whole paragraph selected (requires non-sandboxed build)
v1.4.1

Custom Prompt Fixes

A quick fix release for custom prompt users.

  • Fixed a bug where updating from v1.3.x could cause existing custom prompts to disappear
  • Custom prompt keyboard shortcuts now pick up edits immediately — no restart needed
  • Custom prompts now show a \"No changes made\" HUD when the AI returns your text unchanged
  • Brief custom prompt instructions are now automatically framed for better AI compliance
  • Improved VoiceOver labels for prompt editing buttons
v1.4.0

Writing Context, Smart Selection & Built-in Prompts

The biggest update yet — WunderType learns your preferences, ships with ready-to-use prompts, and keeps Ollama fast.

  • Writing Context — teach WunderType your preferred names, terms, and style notes, applied to every correction
  • 8 built-in prompts: Email Polish, Slack Reply, Translate to English, TL;DR, Bullet Points, Prose from Bullets, LinkedIn Post, Commit Message
  • Ollama keep-alive toggle keeps your model loaded in memory between corrections
  • Redesigned tabbed Settings with dedicated Prompts tab for inline editing
  • Slimmer menu bar dropdown
v1.3.7

Code Quality & Accessibility

A code quality and accessibility pass across the app.

  • Fixed a potential crash in the correction HUD when displaying error messages
  • Copy buttons in Ollama setup are now accessible to VoiceOver
  • HUD text now respects your Dynamic Type size preference
  • Ollama setup polling uses modern lifecycle management for better reliability
  • Consistent font styling across all onboarding screens
v1.3.6

OpenRouter Onboarding & Brand Refresh

We're constantly working to make WunderType better for you.

  • OpenRouter is now available as a provider during onboarding — pick from hundreds of models on first launch
  • Updated brand colors across the app for a warmer, more polished look
  • Small bug fixes and improvements
v1.3.5

Clearer Error Messages

A focused fix release — error popups now tell you what went wrong instead of showing a silent warning icon.

  • Error HUD now displays a clear message (e.g. \"No text selected\", \"API key not configured\", \"Ollama is not running\") instead of just a warning icon
  • Error HUD stays visible longer (2.5s) so you have time to read the message
  • Previously, error details were only shown via macOS notifications — if notification permissions weren't granted, you'd see a blank warning triangle with no explanation
v1.3.4

Onboarding, Accessibility & Safety

A polish release that rounds out the v1.3 series with better onboarding, smarter corrections, and accessibility improvements.

  • Onboarding now asks for notification permission before accessibility — so you'll see error messages from day one
  • If the AI returns your text unchanged, WunderType skips the replacement entirely — no more cursor flicker on already-perfect text
  • The HUD and cursor spinner now respect Reduce Motion for users with vestibular sensitivity
  • Unusually long AI responses are now truncated automatically to prevent runaway pastes
  • Updated app icons and logo with refreshed color scheme
v1.3.3

Smarter Prompts & Clearer Settings

A quality release focused on smarter corrections. The AI follows your instructions more reliably, and the Settings screen is clearer about what each mode actually does.

  • Tightened correction prompts: markdown formatting, code blocks, brand names, and the language you wrote in are now reliably preserved across every mode
  • Make Concise reliably trims at least 25% — no more \"shortened\" results that came back the same length
  • Settings → Mode picker now shows what each mode does in plain language, instead of leaking the internal AI prompt
  • Improved reliability of the direct text-replacement path in native Mac apps
v1.3.2

Accessibility & Polish

An accessibility and code-quality update.

  • Provider cards in onboarding are now proper buttons, so VoiceOver announces them correctly and reads the selected state
  • Onboarding screens now respect your text-size preference — icons and pickers scale with Dynamic Type
  • Modernized internal notification and concurrency code for better reliability under macOS 15
  • Refactored the onboarding and HUD source files into smaller, single-responsibility modules
v1.3.1

Quality & Polish

A quality and polish update that makes WunderType leaner and more reliable.

  • Refreshed Settings design with a cleaner, more spacious layout
  • Fixed an issue where correcting with no text selected could process unrelated clipboard content
  • Internal code improvements for better maintainability
v1.3.0

OpenRouter Integration

WunderType now supports OpenRouter, giving you access to hundreds of AI models through a single API key. Use Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, and many more — all from within WunderType.

  • New AI provider: OpenRouter — access hundreds of models with one API key
  • Choose any model by entering its ID in Settings
  • Secure API key storage in macOS Keychain
v1.2.2

Security & Connectivity

A small but meaningful update that strengthens WunderType's security posture and makes it easier to stay connected.

  • Added quick links to changelog, website, and contact in Settings
  • Under-the-hood security improvements
v1.2.1
