All notable user-facing changes to Koe are documented here.

1.0.14 - 2026-04-09

Added

  • Added a full overlay lifecycle that now shows interim ASR text, final ASR text, corrected text, and optional post-processing actions without disappearing too early.
  • Added an Overlay settings pane for choosing the live transcript font family, text size, bottom offset, and long-text visibility rules.
  • Added a Templates settings pane for managing prompt templates, including add, remove, edit, reorder, and per-template visibility control.
  • Added overlay rewrite templates with click, hover, and contextual 1-9 shortcuts for fast second-pass rewriting.
  • Added configurable trigger modes so users can choose hold or toggle.
  • Added custom shortcut recording for trigger shortcuts, including modifier combinations.
  • Added inline character-level diff animation for text correction transitions — deleted chars fade out in soft red, inserted chars highlight in blue-lavender, and adjacent delete+insert pairs merge into clean replacements before settling to the final text.
  • Added automatic overlay dismissal on any key press (except template shortcuts 1-9) after text is pasted, so users can continue typing without the overlay lingering.

Changed

  • Changed Overlay settings to preview directly in the real desktop overlay position instead of maintaining a second in-window mock preview.
  • Changed long live transcript rendering so the overlay can either stay capped to 3-5 visible lines or expand fully, depending on user preference.
  • Changed overlay spacing, corner radius, and text layout to scale with the selected font for a more consistent appearance.
  • Simplified the hotkey model to a single trigger shortcut that handles both start and stop behavior.
  • Standardized the settings experience so Controls, LLM, and Templates use more consistent native AppKit switches, segmented controls, spacing, and card surfaces.
  • Reduced the built-in prompt template set to a minimal default starter template for English translation.
  • Changed template rewrites to copy the rewritten result to the clipboard instead of auto-pasting it immediately.
  • Changed ASR test result messages from Chinese to English to match the overall UI language.
  • Changed overlay preview sample text to a more natural conversational example.

Fixed

  • Fixed long interim transcript overflow so capped overlays now scroll within the bubble instead of spilling outside the frame.
  • Fixed overlay edge artifacts during long-text scrolling, including dark bands and fade masks that obscured text near the bubble edges.
  • Fixed overlay preview cleanup so unsaved style changes no longer leak after closing Settings or switching panes.
  • Fixed prompt template editor state sync so prompt content no longer leaks between rows or disappears when switching templates.
  • Fixed overlay template visibility and prompt restoration when creating new templates and switching back to existing ones.
  • Fixed number shortcut handling so 1-9 template shortcuts no longer leak digits into the focused app.
  • Fixed recorded trigger combinations so modifier shortcuts no longer leak characters like ® into the focused app.
  • Fixed keyboard and mouse interaction polish for template buttons and overlay selection states.
  • Fixed overlay blocking clicks on the app underneath during linger/dismiss by keeping the main panel click-through at all times.
  • Fixed template editor silently converting file-backed prompts (system_prompt_path) to inline prompts — edits are now written back to the referenced file.
  • Fixed diff animation performance for long transcriptions by adding a 500-character threshold (falls back to crossfade) and replacing O(n²) backtracking with O(n) reverse.
  • Fixed ASR test result label being hidden behind configuration fields — now displayed inline next to the Test button.
  • Fixed Save button closing the settings window — Save now only persists changes, users close via the window's close button.
