TAWK
Changelog

It gets better
while you sleep.

Every release, dated, in plain words. You pay once and every one of these is included. Since v1.3.25 the update is one click from the menu bar, and your licence and settings carry over.

Keeping score
02 Sep 2026v1.3.30

TAWK keeps score. The first line of the menu is now how much typing it has saved you, counted on your Mac and nowhere else. And update checks now run reliably on Macs that stay on for days, so news like this page reaches you without a relaunch.

August 2026

The week everything moved
31 Aug 2026v1.3.29

The menu now shows how much typing TAWK has saved you. Counted on your Mac from your own dictations. Nothing is sent anywhere, like everything else.

31 Aug 2026v1.3.28

Long dictations fixed. A two minute hands free ramble no longer risks falling apart into repeated phrases near the end.

31 Aug 2026v1.3.27

Silence stays silent. A held key with nothing said never invents a sentence. Changing the shortcut no longer starts a stray dictation.

30 Aug 2026v1.3.25

One click updates. The menu bar tells you a new version exists; one click swaps it in and relaunches. This page is the last time updating is ever a chore.

30 Aug 2026v1.3.24

The Words feature. Teach TAWK your names, products and jargon, and correct anything it keeps getting wrong. Plus a real Settings window: Shortcut, Words, Permissions, About.

29 Aug 2026v1.3.17

Hold to talk fixed for every Mac. Some machines silently dropped the key event; TAWK now listens for it two independent ways.

29 Aug 2026v1.3.16

Groundwork for the hold to talk fix, and long hold reliability.

27 Aug 2026v1.3.13

The daily version check. Once a day TAWK asks gettawk.com whether a newer version exists. Nothing about you goes with the question.

27 Aug 2026v1.3.12

The listening bar shows over full screen apps. And a bumped key can no longer paste a phantom sentence from 0.3 seconds of nothing.

25 Aug 2026v1.3.11

First run reliability on Macs that had just granted permissions.

25 Aug 2026v1.3.8 to v1.3.10

The model moved inside the app. No 483MB download on first launch, works offline from the first second, and transcription got roughly 3x faster.

Spring 2026

Foundations
28 Apr 2026v1.2.4

Stability and paste reliability across more apps.

13 Apr 2026v1.2.3

Intel Mac support matured; both architectures ship every release since.

24 Mar 2026v1.2.1 · v1.2.2

Accuracy and hotkey handling improvements.

11 Feb 2026v1.2.0

The hold to talk model of dictation: hold, talk, let go.

04 Feb 2026v1.0.2 · v1.1.0

TAWK ships. One key, your voice, text at the cursor, all of it on your Mac.

Why this page exists. A fair question about any one time purchase is whether the app will still be alive next year. This page is the answer we can prove. And because the model lives inside the app, TAWK keeps working offline even on the day we do nothing.
