v0.3.0

First public release. Download the DMG from sidewave.dev. Later versions
install from SideWave > Check for Updates.

Added

  • Document templates: Email, Instructions, AI Prompt, and Custom open a document window with Read
    and Edit views, Recents, and changes you type or speak.
  • Output language. Dictate in one language and Refine writes in another.
  • Gemma 4 E4B and 12B for Refine, alongside E2B and Apple Intelligence. Gemma thinking is
    available for documents in Advanced view.
  • Glossary bundles from a public catalog, with manual updates by default and a change history.
    Personal glossaries take pronunciation hints, categories, and notes for Refine.
  • Parakeet Ultra as a speech model choice.
  • Data Transparency window that lists downloads and update checks.
  • Downloads window with real sizes and speed, and separate download, compile, and load steps.

Changed

  • Holding the shortcut is push-to-talk: hold to dictate, release to send. The old hold-to-refine
    gesture is now Hold to rewrite and finish in Advanced view, off by default.
  • Escape stops a dictation without sending it. The text stays on Home to paste, resume, or discard.
  • Simple and Advanced views share one Home screen. Advanced adds expert controls and doesn't
    change the engine.
  • Settings and Help use native sidebars with search. Disclosure rows open from anywhere on the row.
  • Meeting transcription labels up to eight speakers, resumes after an interruption, and writes
    notes for long meetings in sections.
  • Releases are a notarized DMG. SideWave asks once whether to check for updates automatically.

Fixed

  • Stopping during live refinement finishes the remaining text instead of pasting it unrefined.
  • Short final words are kept when you stop quickly.
  • Failed and cancelled sessions keep their text in History.
  • Paste checks the target app again before delivering and won't retry a paste it can't verify,
    so text isn't pasted twice.
  • Model downloads repair missing files without replacing the model weights.

Removed

  • Sensitive-information redaction. Its false positives changed ordinary dictation.
