WhisperSwift v1.1.0

What's New

🎯 Smart App-Aware Formatting

WhisperSwift now intelligently adapts transcription formatting based on the active application:

• Email clients (Mail, Outlook, Spark, Gmail, etc.) — Proper email body formatting with paragraph structure, greetings, and signature handling
• Chat apps (Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Teams, Telegram, etc.) — Compact message formatting without unnecessary line breaks
• Developer tools (VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Obsidian, Notion, etc.) — Markdown-compatible formatting with proper lists
• Document apps (Pages, Word, Notes, etc.) — Clean prose with readable paragraphs

The app automatically detects both native applications and web-based services (Gmail, GitHub, Linear, etc.) running in browsers.

📝 Improved Text Cleanup

• Better handling of filler words and hesitation sounds
• Improved numbered list detection — spoken ordinals ("first", "second", "erstens", "zweitens") are now automatically converted to proper numbered lists (1., 2., 3.)
• Enhanced email body formatting with key-value pair support

🔧 Technical Improvements

• Separated Debug and Release bundle identifiers for better development workflow
• Updated cleanup model for improved transcription quality
