wispr-fox v3.0.0 — Accounts + cross-device sync

The big one. wispr-fox can now carry your transcripts with you — sign in and
they follow you across desktop, web and mobile. Sign-in is completely optional:
signed out, wispr-fox works exactly as it always has, fully local, no account.

Sign in — Google or email

There's a new Account section in Settings, and a new (skippable) step at the
end of onboarding.

• Continue with Google opens your browser, you approve once, and you're
  back — no passwords to manage.
• Prefer email? Create an account or sign in with an email and password
  right in the app.
• Not ready? Continue without an account is right there, front and centre.
  Nothing changes for you.

Your transcripts, everywhere

Once you're signed in, your transcripts sync in the background across every
device you use wispr-fox on:

• Everything you've already recorded gets pushed up the first time you sign in,
  and new dictations sync as you make them.
• Transcripts made on other devices show up in your History here, each with a
  small Desktop / Web / Mobile badge so you can tell where it came from, and
  your device's name on hover.
• Sync now and a "last synced" time live in Settings → Account, so you can
  always see what's happening. Sync is quiet and best-effort — if the network
  hiccups it just tries again, never interrupts you, never slows down dictation.

Your API keys come along too

Set up Deepgram (or Groq, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Gemini) on your laptop and it's
ready on your other devices — your provider keys sync securely so you don't have
to paste them in again on every machine.

Voice recordings stay put — always

Only text syncs. Your audio never leaves the device that recorded it. This
is deliberate: it keeps the whole thing free and keeps your voice private.
Transcripts synced from another device show up as text you can read, copy and
search — there's just no audio to play back, because it was never uploaded.

A calmer, clearer delete

Deleting is reworked so you're always in control of exactly what goes:

• The delete control is now press-and-hold — hold it for a moment (a little
  fill sweeps to confirm) and a dialog opens. A quick tap just reminds you to
  hold, so nothing disappears by accident.
• The dialog lets you choose what to remove — voice files, transcripts, or
  both — and where: this device only, or everywhere (when you're
  signed in). It spells out the consequence in plain words before you confirm.
• Everywhere removes the transcript from all your devices. This device
  only clears it here and won't let it sync back. Deleting just the voice
  files frees up disk while keeping the text.

A note on privacy

Local-only mode is unchanged, byte for byte — if you never sign in, wispr-fox
behaves exactly like it did before, storing everything on your machine and
talking only to the transcription provider you chose with your own key. Signing
in adds transcript + key sync on top; your audio is never part of it.

Nightly build — the first of the v3.0.0 line. If this build shows "Sync not
configured", the sync backend isn't wired into this particular build yet;
everything else works as normal and it behaves as signed-out.

Pick your installer:

• Windows: wispr-fox_*_x64-setup.exe (recommended) or *_x64_en-US.msi
• macOS Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4): wispr-fox_*_aarch64.dmg
• Linux: *.AppImage (portable) or *.deb (Ubuntu/Debian)

First-time install — please read

Windows. Run the .exe, click through SmartScreen ("More info" → "Run anyway") on first launch since the binary isn't code-signed yet.

macOS. The build isn't notarized. One of two things will happen on first launch:

• "developer cannot be verified" dialog: Cancel → right-click the app in Applications → Open → click Open in the new dialog.
• "App is damaged" dialog: open Terminal and run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/wispr-fox.app, then double-click normally.

Then grant two permissions when prompted:

1. Microphone (first time you press F8) — required
2. Accessibility (first time it tries to paste) — required for fast text injection; if you skip it, the app falls back to clipboard+Cmd+V which still works but is slower

Full install walkthrough in the README.

Linux. AppImage is portable — chmod +x and run. Untested by maintainer; report issues.
