wispr-fox v3.0.0-nightly.2 — Sync actually syncs now

A focused fix for the sync that shipped in nightly.1.

"Sync paused — will retry" is fixed

If you signed in on nightly.1 and saw "Sync paused — will retry" sitting
under your account (even right after a clean sign-in), that's fixed. Sign-in
itself was fine — the very first step of the sync, registering your device with
the cloud, was being rejected, so the whole cycle stopped and quietly kept
retrying against the same wall.

Sign in again (or hit Sync now in Settings → Account) and it should move to
Syncing… and then settle on a normal "last synced" time. Your existing
transcripts push up on that first successful sync, and anything from your other
devices pulls down.

API keys now sync from desktop too

The same underlying issue was quietly blocking your API keys from syncing up
from the desktop, so set up a provider here and it's now available on your web
and mobile apps as well — no re-pasting.

Nothing else changed — local-only mode, dictation, and everything from nightly.1
behave exactly as before.


Nightly build — v3.0.0 line. Signed out, wispr-fox works fully local as always.


Built from commit 22cd8f0.
Provenance: built by GitHub Actions from the tagged commit. See the release notes header for which agent authored the change set.

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.
