OpenWhispr 1.10.3
The assistant can now act in other apps: it drafts and sends email, posts to Slack, and works with Linear and GitHub issues, always behind a card you approve. Notes get templates for the AI Summary, actions that answer in a docked chat, and real tables. OpenWhispr also uses far less memory when idle, shows a plain-language error when your API key or provider fails, and fixes a long list of bugs on Linux, Windows and macOS.
🌟 Highlights
- 🔌 Connectors — The assistant can draft and send email (Gmail), post to Slack, and work with Linear and GitHub issues. Nothing goes out until you press Send on a card showing exactly what will be sent. Paid plans; connect in Settings → Integrations. (#2331, [#2369], [#2385], [#2401], [#2402])
- 📝 Note templates and actions — Templates shape the AI Summary, and actions like Follow-up email answer in a chat docked beside the note instead of overwriting your summary. (#2397, [#2557], [#2578], [#2598])
- 📊 Tables in notes — Tables stay tables when you edit a note, and a formatting toolbar appears when you select text. (#2255)
- 🪶 Lighter when idle — Search and meeting detection only run when needed, cutting idle memory use from about 500 MB. (#2299, [#2371])
- 💬 Clear error messages — When your own API key or provider fails, you get a plain-language message with a link to fix it. (#2510)
✨ Also new
Echo cancellation for meetings, an option to keep the local model loaded, a folder picker in the meeting notification, dictation audio that survives a crash, a macOS permission helper in onboarding, Apple sign-in on Windows and Linux, and live speaker names on Linux.
🛠 Fixes
- Windows: Teams meetings record everyone for the whole call again. (#2233)
- Transcription: API key changes apply without a restart, and AssemblyAI, Corti and Gemini Live no longer drop words.
- Assistant: Answers paste as plain text, follow-ups don't repeat actions already sent, and images in replies are no longer loaded automatically.
- Linux: GPU rendering is back (except on NVIDIA), Settings no longer lags, and paste waits for you to release held keys.
- Notes and meetings: Assistant edits to a note can be undone and never wipe fields by accident, clearing a note now syncs, and fixes for Join & transcribe, live transcripts on reload, and TXT export. (#2602, [#2604])
⚠️ Heads-up
The Windows portable .exe is discontinued. Use the installer instead. (#2301)
