What's new.
All updates and improvements for WunderType.
What's New
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
