ParrotFlow

Changelog

The ParrotFlow release history, newest first. Each entry gives the version, the date and the changes, taken from the release notes on GitHub.

These are the last 15 releases. The full notes for every release, including 0.2.0 to 0.4.0, are on the GitHub releases page. The app checks for new releases on its own. See Install for how updates work.

0.12.1

15 September 2026 · Release notes

Fixes

0.12.0

15 September 2026 · Pre-release · Release notes

  • The build failed before any file was attached, so there is nothing to install. 0.12.1 has the same changes.

0.11.0

26 August 2026 · Release notes

New

  • The pill shows the speech model download, with a percentage.

Fixes

  • The pill no longer goes blank while a second dictation runs.

Performance

  • The pill appears when the microphone opens. Before, it came 180 ms later.

0.10.0

26 August 2026 · Release notes

Breaking changes

  • The signing identity changed. If you ran 0.9.0 or earlier, you grant Microphone and Accessibility once more. The updater in those builds refuses this release, so reinstall with the install script or with Homebrew.
  • There is one pipeline. A pipelines: key is refused.

New

  • A dictation keeps its bullets, bold and links when the app accepts them.
  • Releases are notarized, and there is a Homebrew cask.
  • You can report a bug from the menu, with the config and the log already in it.
  • Say “PR one two three” and get a link you can click.
  • The pill is smaller and its chimes are quieter.

Fixes

  • A bare-modifier hotkey ignores a press that belongs to a shortcut.

Performance

  • The hidden pill stops redrawing, and the settle loop stops re-folding.

0.9.0

20 August 2026 · Release notes

New

  • A self-correction prompt, tuned on real dictation.

Fixes

  • An offered rewrite lands in the field, or on the clipboard.
  • The app says on screen when an offered transform changes nothing.
  • The caret walk checks the characters, and no longer the numbers that name them.
  • The offer opens at full width, with every chip inside the pill.

0.8.0

20 August 2026 · Release notes

Breaking changes

  • Every model is defined in one place, and names are one stage.

New

  • You name your models, pick one per prompt, and keep the API key in the keychain.
  • The app asks for a missing or rejected API key when the model is used.
  • A command path can share a script under transforms/. The examples install as one tree.
  • A second decode runs beside the first and gets skipped words back.
  • The log shows the caret and the text on each side of it.
  • The offer holds at full strength before it fades, and its keys shimmer.
  • The repetitions transform brings its own scorer.
  • The update offer shows its release notes. A dev build no longer tries to install one.
  • The vocabulary judge marks each term with its kind.

Fixes

  • A dictation that the decoder returned nothing for is decoded again.
  • The prune reports what it did.

0.7.0

19 August 2026 · Release notes

New

  • A spelling lesson keeps the word it teaches.
  • A table says what it wrote, and join fits a clip to the box.
  • code_identifiers publishes the identifiers it wrote.
  • Word lists are named once. “Dotted” can hear dash and slash.
  • The completion chime is Morse instead of Glass.
  • Punctuation gains brackets, the semicolon, the ellipsis and French.
  • The app reads the input box, tags the words, and gives a transform the whole run.
  • The update alert shows on its own, and the app checks for updates every hour. Correct a Word left the menu.
  • The offer says when the words may not be your words.
  • The vocabulary panel is a table again, with proposed rows.

Fixes

  • A repeat that holds “I” is no longer kept as a spelled letter.
  • The app gets past a version manager’s shim, and stops trimming what a stage added.

0.6.0

13 August 2026 · Release notes

New

  • The last permissions screen invites you to dictate, live.
  • The transcriber warms up at launch, and no longer on the first dictation.

Fixes

  • The app checks Input Monitoring before the offer takes its keys.
  • A gap at launch in the llm.keep_loaded warm-up is closed.
  • A live reload of config.yaml waits 10 seconds before it interrupts you.
  • config.yaml starts as a copy of config.example.yaml. There is a new --warm-models flag and a default Ollama install.
