Sonic Flow is now Spoke. The new name and identity have been applied throughout the entire product, from the app interface to the website, giving you a cohesive experience that reflects our evolution.

The Spoke website has been completely updated with the new branding, providing a fresh look that matches the quality of the product.

The DMG installer now sports the new Spoke branding, giving you a polished first impression from the moment you download the app.

The login window received visual refinements as part of the rebrand, creating a more cohesive experience when signing in.

Manage your subscription right from within Sonic Flow. View your current plan, track your word usage, upgrade to Pro, and handle billing details, all without leaving the app.

For five seconds after pasting your last transcript, double-clicking the floating bar now opens your transcription history instead of settings. This small change makes it faster to access your recent transcriptions when you need them most.

Fixed an issue where the panel height was calculated incorrectly on some devices, causing the panel to be shorter than it should be and covering up UI elements at the bottom, including the account card. The panel now displays at the correct height on all devices.

Fixed critical compatibility issues preventing edit mode from working in Cursor, Raycast Notes, and several other applications. Edit mode now functions reliably everywhere you need it.

Fixed an issue where custom vocabulary (like your name) wasn't being handled correctly in edit mode. Sonic Flow now spells your name and custom terms accurately when editing text.

Fixed an issue where the sign out button wasn't working correctly and would fail to sign you out. The button now functions reliably as expected.

Dramatically improved performance for the transcription history section after accumulating hundreds of transcriptions. The interface now remains incredibly smooth and responsive regardless of how many transcriptions you've saved.

Significantly improved processing speed for longer dictations. Even very long transcription sessions now process much faster, and fixed rare cases where longer dictations would get clipped prematurely.

Your transcription outputs are now saved and accessible in the new Transcription History section within the panel. Review everything you've dictated or edited, with all data stored completely locally on your device—nothing ever touches the cloud.

The floating bar received a complete visual refresh across all states—idle, loading, and active. The most notable change is the new voice-reactive frequency bars that replace the old thick, bulky design with sleek, responsive bars that feel modern and polished.

The Sonic Flow installer now sports a new visual design for a better first impression.

The settings panel and transcription history section received subtle visual improvements for a cleaner, more cohesive interface throughout the app.

Fixed an issue where there was a brief delay after cancelling a transcription before you could activate dictation again. You can now double-tap the hotkey immediately after cancelling without any buffer period.

You can now enter or verify your full name during onboarding. This ensures Sonic Flow knows exactly how to spell your name, allowing for accurate personalization throughout your dictation sessions.

The tray menu now includes a "Paste Last Transcript" option for quick access. This complements the existing keyboard shortcut, giving you multiple ways to paste your most recent transcription.

Shadows across the entire app have been refined for a cleaner look and better performance. The visual polish extends throughout Sonic Flow while reducing system resource usage.

The initial page now lets you sign in directly instead of navigating to a separate page. This small improvement makes getting started with Sonic Flow just a bit more convenient.

The keyboard shortcut for pasting the last transcript has been changed from Command+Shift+V to Command+Control+V. This prevents conflicts with macOS's native "Paste Without Formatting" feature.

Sonic Flow is now better at formatting emails with proper structure and line breaks. Instead of outputting everything as a single paragraph, dictated emails now maintain appropriate formatting for a more professional appearance.

Fixed an issue where the microphone selector dropdown would create shadow artifacts behind the settings panel. The dropdown now displays cleanly without visual glitches.

Fixed responsiveness issues with the settings panel and permissions panel on MacBook Pro devices. Both panels now function smoothly and respond correctly to interactions on all MacBook Pro models.

Resolved critical issues with an upstream provider that were causing transcription to fail nearly half the time. Transcription reliability has been significantly improved and users should no longer experience these failures.

Fixed an issue where Sonic Flow would occasionally spell your name incorrectly at the end of longer dictation sessions. Name recognition is now more reliable and consistent throughout dictations of any length.

You can now paste your last transcript instantly using Command+Shift+V. Previously, you could only copy the last transcript by right-clicking the island and selecting from the context menu. Now, paste directly into any text field with a quick keyboard shortcut.

The frequency bars now feature a flat color design instead of the previous top-to-bottom gradient. The new look is cleaner and better matches Sonic Flow's overall design aesthetic.

The flow for toggling permissions has been improved for a much smoother experience. Users were previously facing issues when trying to enable permissions while using Sonic Flow, but the process now feels more intuitive and reliable.

Fixed synchronization issues with the "Show Floating Bar" setting between the settings panel and the tray menu. The setting now stays properly in sync across both locations.

Fixed an issue where minor network fluctuations would cause transcription to fail. Sonic Flow is now much more robust and handles connection variations gracefully without interrupting your dictation.

Fixed an issue where push-to-talk would malfunction after extended use. The feature now works consistently and reliably, even during long sessions.

Fixed an issue where the underlying model would occasionally hallucinate and add "Thank you for watching!" at the end of dictation. These false outputs have been significantly reduced for cleaner transcriptions.

Sonic Flow now features a proper Liquid Glass icon that perfectly matches the macOS design language, giving the app a more polished and professional appearance.

You can now hide Sonic Flow from your dock if you prefer a cleaner workspace. The app remains accessible via the menu bar while staying out of sight when you don't need it.

The onboarding flow has been refined with improved layout, better visual hierarchy, and enhanced readability. The interface now provides a clearer and more polished first impression.

Permissions settings no longer clutter your settings panel. Sonic Flow now intelligently detects when permissions are disabled and dynamically presents the permissions panel only when you need it, bringing us closer to our vision of a truly adaptive interface.

Fixed instances where double-tap behavior would malfunction, causing unexpected activation issues. The hotkey now responds consistently and reliably every time.

Minor refinements to model behavior result in more consistent and reliable outputs across all dictation and editing scenarios.

Sonic Flow now properly appears in fullscreen mode. Fixed display issues that prevented the app from rendering correctly when users were working in fullscreen applications.

Completely redesigned onboarding flow with clearer instructions, better visual feedback, and a more intuitive introduction to Sonic Flow's features.

Fixed an issue where the last few sentences would get cut off during long dictation sessions. Users can now dictate for extended periods without losing their final words.

Streamlined the update delivery system for faster, more reliable feature rollouts and bug fixes.

Fixed an issue where dictation would randomly activate on hotkey presses during the onboarding process, causing unexpected behavior for new users.
