What changed. Newest first.

  1. v0.1.0

    First public preview

    The first build with the full Skald experience and the core dictation pipeline.

    • Push-to-talk hotkey, default Fn.
    • Multilingual real-time speech recognition.
    • Cleanup writing assistant that adapts to the app you’re typing in.
    • Three-tier text injection with Accessibility API → pasteboard → synthetic keys fallback.
    • Custom dictionary, stored locally on your machine.
    • Daily fair-use budget with sensible defaults.
    • Onboarding walk for the three required macOS permissions.
  2. v0.0.3

    Cleanup adapts to the app you're in

    Messaging, email, code, terminal, browser, and document each get a register that fits — no more one-size-fits-all cleanup.

    Cleanup now adapts to the kind of app you’re typing in. Messaging stays loose. Email writes full sentences. Code passes through verbatim and only converts spoken dictation tokens. Terminal stays single-line. Browser and document keep sentence punctuation.

  3. v0.0.2

    Text gets into more places, more reliably

    Skald now uses three different ways to deliver your text into the focused field — and falls back gracefully when the first one doesn't fit.

    Some apps accept text directly. Others only take it through the clipboard. A few stubborn ones need actual keystrokes to behave. Skald now tries the cleanest path first and steps down only when it has to — so the text reliably lands where your cursor is.

    When the clipboard route is used, whatever you had on it before is put back as soon as Skald is done. No leftovers.
