What's new in Kords

Updated 12 October 2026

Every Kords update, newest first. Kords updates itself, and you can check any time from the Kords menu.

1.0.3 · 12 October 2026

The sign-in code is now six clear boxes that fill as you type.
If a different account signs in on a Mac that has another account's history, Kords asks once whether to keep it or start fresh. The new account's Collection always starts clean.
Safer typing: Kords only pastes if the app you were writing in is still in front, cleans stray control characters, never presses Return in a terminal, and turns line breaks into spaces there.
Dictated text is marked so clipboard managers that respect it do not keep it, and Kords no longer overwrites something you copied in the meantime.
Updates are checked against their signature before they are opened.

Settings redesigned with a sidebar, one section at a time.
A Manage subscription button for changing plan, updating your card or cancelling.
If Writing stalls, press your shortcut to cancel it. Cloud dictation also gives up sooner and carries on on-device.

The first public release: hold to talk in any app, double-tap to lock on hands-free, on-device dictation and optional Cloud accuracy.
Voices, a personal dictionary, translation into Spanish, French and German, and the Kordies Collection.
