What's new in Whisperstream.

Every release, grouped and dated. The running record of what shipped and what changed.

• v1.0June 21, 2026

  Per-app cleanup and a private transcript history

  • File import lets you drop in an existing audio file to transcribe it.
  • Set separate shortcuts for push-to-talk and toggle recording.
  • The free trial is now unlimited dictation for 7 days.
• v0.9June 8, 2026

  AI cleanup, now fully on-device

• v0.8May 17, 2026

  AI cleanup, bring your own key

  • Optional AI Enhancement sends transcriptions to Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local Ollama model for cleanup before they're typed. It is off by default, and you bring your own API key.
