https://www.onresonant.com Private voice dictation for Mac. Your voice stays on your machine. en-US Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.71 Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Dictation paste is noticeably snappier — context gathering and media pausing now happen off the critical path. Webmail clients (Gmail, Outlook web, etc.) use a faster direct-paste path that also preserves your clipboard contents. Fragmented word runs in transcripts are repaired automatically (e.g. "un for tu nate ly" → "unfortunately"). Self-corrections in cleaned transcripts strip "abandoned" half-phrases more reliably. Numbers with decimals and hyphenated years are formatted more accurately. Main-thread hang on launch when restoring existing ambient snapshots. Toggle dictation no longer gets stuck in a locked state in rare cases. Background context collectors no longer trigger unwanted browser automation fallbacks. Corrupt local database rebuilds now properly quarantine leftover SQLite sidecar files. Stale sign-in sessions are cleared cleanly when switching environments. Reaching your daily cloud processing limit now surfaces a clear message instead of a generic error https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.66 Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Meeting transcripts now reliably capture speech — a startup loop could silently prevent the microphone from delivering audio to the transcriber, resulting in empty transcripts https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.64 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Meetings now appear in your daily journal — merged chronologically with dictations, with dedicated icons, teal accent color, and duration stats. Meeting sync across devices — meeting history, notes, summaries, and markdown now sync through your workspace. Zen browser support — dictation works correctly in Zen and other Firefox-engine browsers. Area and dimension normalization — "16 square meters" becomes "16 m²", "4 m by 2 m" becomes "4 m × 2 m". RTF clipboard support — pasted text with links now renders correctly in rich-text editors like Apple Mail and Pages. Lock mode is more reliable — pressing the lock chord before or during the trigger key now works consistently. Smart spacing reads the full sentence context around your cursor — capitalizes after periods, lowercases mid-sentence, even with trailing spaces. Paste failures now play a distinct warning tone and show "Copied to clipboard — ⌘V to paste" instead of silently succeeding. Text transforms fall back to your local transcript gracefully instead of showing an error when the cloud is unavailable. List detection preserves short intro phrases ("OK so first... second... third...") instead of dropping them. Favicons are higher resolution across the app. Meeting join prompt, auto-start, and auto-stop now default to enabled. Firefox and Zen browser dictation no longer inserts text at the wrong position https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.63 Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Stop button in the meeting scratchpad — end a recording directly from the notes window with a confirmation prompt. Meeting transcription auto-recovery — if your mic drops out (Bluetooth disconnect, headphone switch), the recording detects it and restarts automatically. Post-meeting notes are now saved to the markdown file on disk, not just the database. Dictation cleanup catches more AI-style responses that shouldn't appear in cleaned text. Notch hover area is narrower at the edges to reduce accidental triggers. Rare crash when starting audio recording on macOS 15+ (wrapped an OS-level exception in AVCaptureAudioFileOutput) https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.62 Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Multilingual transcription — Qwen3 ASR is now available as a second model option, supporting 30 languages including Swedish, Italian, French, German, and more. Language picker in Settings — choose your transcription language or leave it on auto-detect. Model info links — each model row now links to its source page so you can see exactly what's being downloaded. Notch overlay no longer appears as a floating black bar on external monitors stacked above the MacBook display https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.61 Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Meeting recording is now manual-only — start from Settings or the notch menu, never automatically. Removed auto-detect and meeting app toggles for a simpler, more predictable experience https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.60 Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Workspace agent access — one-click setup in Settings that installs everything AI agents and CLI tools need to query your workspace. Local HTTP API on localhost for scripts, automations, and custom tools to search and browse your dictations, memos, meetings, and journal. CLI tool (`resonant`) for querying your workspace from the terminal. Timeline filters on all search and list queries — filter by date range, relative dates like "3d" or "2w", or exact ISO dates. Multi-word search with relevance ranking — results scored by where terms match (title, app, body) and sorted by relevance. Search now matches across app name, window title, URL, and other context fields — not just body text. Quoted phrase support in search (e.g. `"project update"`). Unified "Agent Access" section in Workspace settings — cleaner, more compact layout. MCP server now starts correctly when launched via CLI (was silently hanging) https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.58 Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Meeting recording now defaults to manual — start from Settings or the notch menu, no surprise recordings. Reworked Meetings settings with a "How It Works" section and progressive disclosure for auto-detect options. Meeting recording no longer starts randomly when you're not in a meeting. Auto-detect now verifies the meeting app is actually using the mic, not just running in the background https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.52 Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team New onboarding step that highlights key features like Activity Feed, Cloud Cleanup, Journal, and Voice Memos. Meetings tab in Settings for meeting recording configuration. Smart Links now free for all users. Reduced app freezes and improved responsiveness across the board. Branded DMG installer with background artwork and drag-to-install layout. Notch overlay no longer shows a persistent black bar on Macs without a hardware notch (M1 MacBook Air, external monitors) — the bar now auto-hides when idle and slides in only when needed. "Check for updates" menu item moved to a more natural position at the bottom of the menu https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.49 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Auto-paste now correctly detects when macOS silently revokes accessibility permissions after an update, and shows clear instructions to re-grant access https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.47 Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Dictated emails now paste with proper line breaks in Gmail, Outlook, and other rich-text editors. Text transformations no longer leak context from previous dictations into the output https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.46 Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Transform selected text now works with any spoken instruction — no longer requires specific keywords. Fixed transform failing silently for Pro users due to expired auth tokens. Fixed subscription sync issues that could block Pro features. Improved error messages when transform fails. Streak and feed reliability https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.41 Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Dictation no longer suppressed in apps where the native accessibility check incorrectly reported no text input — now falls back to the legacy check for any ambiguous result https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.40 Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Selection capture now reads selected text directly via Accessibility API before touching the clipboard — faster and no longer clobbers your clipboard when nothing is selected. Long recordings with leading/trailing silence now retry transcription on the trimmed speech window, recovering previously lost content. Dictation pipeline parallelism reduces post-transcription latency by 50–200ms https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.39 Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Dictation output no longer contaminated by VSCode webview panel identifiers.

Hover detection uses the exact notch hit area instead of the full window frame https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.26 Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Native notch UI — all visual and audio feedback now lives in your Mac's hardware notch. Journal mode — automatic daily work log with app, window, and URL context per dictation. AI post-processing — run any dictation through Apple Intelligence, LM Studio, Ollama, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint with your own system prompt. Window and browser URL capture — Resonant reads the active window and address bar at dictation time. Audio cues — synthesized click, tack, and snap sounds for press, release, and paste complete. Voice recording persistence — every dictation saved as a local WAV with playback in the feed. HIPAA mode — encrypted history, audit log, and telemetry suppression for regulated environments. GDPR controls — analytics opt-in, configurable data retention, and one-tap data deletion. Text formatter rewritten in Rust — all 19 transforms compiled once at startup, zero per-dictation regex overhead. Paste latency reduced from ~700ms to ~50ms for Electron apps (VS Code, Slack, Notion, etc.). Feed items for browser dictations show the website name and favicon instead of a bundle ID. Hot words rebuild uses atomic swap — no latency spike during dictionary refresh. First-press recording hiccup on cold microphone start. Copy icon always dimmed at startup even when history existed. Notch closing mid-expression when a new dictation started immediately https://www.onresonant.com/resources/speech-to-text-wrist-strain https://www.onresonant.com/resources/speech-to-text-wrist-strain Mon, 23 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Wrist injuries don't have to mean slower work. macOS Fn key shortcuts and voice dictation let you stay productive while giving your hands a break. https://www.onresonant.com/changelog https://www.onresonant.com/changelog#0.1.25 Mon, 23 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Resonant Team Refreshed interface with a cleaner, more focused layout.
