Just wanted to say excellent work on the refactor and getting this out. I'm very excited to try out the failed recordings mode, but I have yet to see that one happen. Hopefully it happens while I'm writing this note and I get to check that out.

A couple of notes I have for feedback that are fairly simple tweaks: (working on an intel macbook)

• The auto-paste feature is not working. When I end the recording with the global hotkey, even though I have the feature enabled, it does not paste anything onto my current page.

• Perhaps there can be a settings toggle to hold the window over all the other windows. I rather like being able to let it go behind my current working window and refocus when I stop recording. Right now it is just always sitting on top of my current window. I preferred the other behavior where it was not focused and would focus when recording, and then if the auto-paste feature was working, it would refocus and paste. It's currently not doing this.

• The notifications are maybe a bit much. I'm going to have to disable them on my system. Maybe there's a setting we can add to not have system or the toast notifications show up as they cover most of the screen and are a bit spammy. I also cannot dismiss the toast notifications, so when I have a smaller window, they completely cover my ability to click anything. They're also not dismissing for some reason. It eventually dismissed when I interacted with the window more. I think instead of having these pop-up notifications just having a single location that says the current state or something would be more useful. A lot of the times that I'm using whispering I'm just trusting that it's doing the right thing in the background and I don't need visual spam. I know others may have preferences, I think a toggle to disable notifications might be the way to go.

• The API key is currently not hidden and remains in visible text in the settings window.

• There's no way to minimize the whispering window unless I do Command-H, otherwise the yellow minimize button on Mac is not visible.

• The previous recordings feature is neat, but I would also like to either be able to disable it entirely or set some limit where I only want to keep the previous N recordings. I do not know how the collection mechanism works currently, but I can see this growing quite large as I use this all the time and want to be able to not store these transcriptions long term.

Overall, fantastic job on this release!

There is no release for Windows

I can confirm the autopaste not working

Seconded.

Agree. <5 is ample, relative to function.
