QuietType 1.0.0 RC4

QuietType 1.0.0 RC4 for Apple Silicon Macs.

What changed since RC3

• Fixed dictation started with QuietType's in-app microphone incorrectly inserting into the previously active background app.
• In-app microphone sessions now keep the polished transcript in QuietType for review or copying.
• The global Fn shortcut continues to insert into the external app where dictation began.
• Dictation destination state is cleared consistently after success, cancellation, and failure.
• Added regression coverage for both in-app and global-shortcut invocation paths.

Transcription remains fully local. This signed and notarized build bundles the pinned Argmax WhisperKit/Core ML model and SAGE v11.4.11.

QuietType 1.0.0 RC3

QuietType 1.0.0 RC3 focuses on local transcription reliability and fallback UX.

Highlights:

• SAGE-governed vocabulary now conditions the authoritative full-audio decode, improving learned names such as Raft.
• Fast streaming previews remain unprompted to reduce short-window hallucinations.
• Sustained local speech detection rejects microphone noise before invented text can be accepted.
• Removed an unsupported Argmax timing field that caused an unnecessary failed request before final transcription.
• The copy-transcript fallback overlay now has an explicit dismiss control; closing it keeps the transcript available in QuietType.
• Model recovery now validates every required asset and pins both the Argmax Core ML model and official OpenAI tokenizer revisions.
• Explicit updater coverage verifies RC2 < RC3 < 1.0.0.
• SAGE governed local memory remains pinned to v11.4.11.

Privacy remains the core promise: microphone audio and transcripts stay on this Mac and are never sent to cloud services.

Internal build: 29
Apple Silicon macOS 13 or newer.

QuietType 1.0.0 RC2

QuietType 1.0.0 RC2 is the stabilized Apple Silicon release candidate following RC1.

Highlights:

• Speech readiness now reflects a completed local inference prewarm, with a bounded timeout and clear retry path.
• RC1 correctly detects RC2 through strict beta < RC < stable semantic release ordering.
• Refined centered layouts, coordinated tab transitions, improved setup/warm-up messaging, and a richer About experience.
• First-run guidance remains available when voice training is skipped.
• Update downloads and backups are pruned automatically to control disk usage.
• Default window sizing is tuned for the full QuietType workspace.
• SAGE governed local memory remains pinned to v11.4.11.

Privacy remains the core promise: dictation and transcript processing stay on this Mac; QuietType does not send them to cloud services.

Internal build: 28
Apple Silicon macOS 13 or newer.

QuietType 1.0.0 RC1

QuietType 1.0.0 Release Candidate 1 for Apple Silicon Macs.

This stabilized RC1 is intended to be very close to the official App Store submission candidate.

Highlights:

• Fully local transcription, cleanup, corrections, and governed memory; no cloud transcription.
• Requires completed inference prewarm before the speech engine reports Ready.
• Adds bounded speech startup, clear failure messaging, and an explicit Retry path.
• Starts local speech warming immediately and separates temporary warm-up from setup work.
• Centers Home and Settings card groups with coordinated navigation transitions.
• Uses the complete About experience from both the app menu and Settings, including first-run.
• Keeps the guided tour available when optional voice training is skipped.
• Automatically bounds retained update downloads and rollback backups.
• Uses strict beta, release-candidate, and final version ordering.
• Bundles SAGE v11.4.11.

Version: 1.0.0 RC1
Internal build: 28
Architecture: Apple Silicon arm64

Signed with Developer ID, notarized by Apple, stapled, and Gatekeeper validated.

QuietType 1.0.0 beta 26

Beta 26 hardens QuietType's fully local speech path.

• Fixes an Argmax/WhisperKit decoder bug where predicted end-of-text and first-token confidence could terminate forced prompt prefill before audio decoding.
• Pins the Argmax source revision and applies the compatibility patch reproducibly in local and CI release builds.
• Keeps production dictation on the fast unprompted path with private on-device vocabulary correction; no audio or transcript is sent to the cloud.
• Passes 150/150 offline corpus iterations across clean, quiet, fast, distant, noisy, paused, technical, and long-form speech.
• Prompted technical cases now complete reliably and improved raw required-term accuracy in the paired product, Swift, local-model, and long technical samples.
• Bundles SAGE v11.4.11.

QuietType 1.0.0 beta 25

Cold-start voice engine hotfix.

• Starts the native Apple Silicon speech engine before SAGE and permission setup.
• Automatically runs first-inference prewarming as soon as the app opens.
• Serializes helper startup so immediate dictation cannot launch duplicate speech processes.
• Keeps bundled SAGE pinned to v11.4.11.

Validated with 125 arm64 tests, Developer ID signing, Apple notarization and stapling, Gatekeeper assessment, exact-DMG signature checks, and a clean signed-app launch smoke test.

QuietType 1.0.0 beta 24

QuietType beta 24 tightens the full local dictation loop: responsive layouts, clearer lifecycle and cancellation UX, faster release-to-final transcription, verified target-app insertion, secure-field guards, and a fail-closed copy fallback. Dictation audio is transient by default; optional review audio is encrypted and capped. Keyboard reminders are now truly opt-in. Bundles SAGE v11.4.11, both arm64 ASR helpers, and the on-device WhisperKit model. Signed, Apple-notarized, and no cloud transcription.

QuietType 1.0.0 beta 23

Live dictation previews now publish directly to the listening overlay as each local ASR chunk completes. The installer remains fully local, Apple-notarized, and bundled with the on-device speech model.

QuietType 1.0.0 beta 22

Early live dictation feedback with 1.6-second overlapped ASR windows, a rolling transcript preview, and boundary-safe merge behavior. Final full-audio transcription remains the accuracy authority after release.

QuietType 1.0.0 beta 21

QuietType 1.0.0 beta 21

Changes:

• Fixes Home navigation animation so the four metric boxes transition with the rest of the Home page.
• Bumps public download links and release defaults to beta 21.

Validation:

• 115 Swift tests passed in the release flow.
• Production arm64 build succeeded.
• App, embedded CLI tools, and bundled SAGE codesign verification passed.
• DMG checksum and mounted-app verification passed.
• Apple notarization accepted and stapling succeeded.
• Gatekeeper accepted the notarized DMG.
