What's new
Every release of AWNA, newest first. The notch says the first line of these once, after an update lands.
Mac 0.2.713 November 2026Latest
- Fixes for Spanish and Italian: a few lines that were still in English are translated, and long names in Settings wrap onto a second line instead of being cut off.
- The example under Settings -> Voice -> Your words shows once, not twice.
Mac 0.2.613 November 2026
- Settings lists its pages down the side, so Coding agents, Licence and About are always in view, and the window keeps one size as you move between them.
- On a MacBook with a notch, choose what sits either side of the camera from two pictures, in Settings -> General.
- Clearer, shorter wording throughout Settings, in English, Spanish and Italian.
Windows 1.11.012 November 2026Latest
- AWNA in Spanish and Italian! It follows Windows' language, or choose one in Settings -> General -> Language. More languages to come.
- Copy or drag several pictures and files from the Clipboard tab at once: Ctrl+click them, then Copy, and paste them all into a chat, a folder or an email.
Mac 0.2.512 November 2026
- Fixes around MacBook hardware notches.
- AWNA in Spanish and Italian! It follows your Mac's language, or choose one in Settings -> General -> Language.

- Fixed Calendars not appearing. If you clicked 'Show my Calendars' in the welcome window and nothing happened, allow AWNA in System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Calendars.
- 'Show downloads in the notch' asks macOS there and then, rather than at your first download, and says what it answered.
Windows 1.10.110 November 2026
- Fixed the frosted notch showing up in screenshots and recordings.
Windows 1.10.03 November 2026
- Hide one meeting from the notch with the x beside it at the top of the open notch.
- Meetings take up less of the notch: "Now: Stand-up" shows for a meeting's first 3 minutes, not all of it. To keep it until the meeting ends, switch on "Keep showing a meeting while it's on" in Settings -> Calendar.
- Keep meetings out of the notch altogether with Off under "Mention the next meeting", in Settings -> Calendar. They're still on the Today tab.
Windows 1.9.128 October 2026

- Rotating PC stats in the resting notch, : choose from CPU, RAM, GPU, GPU memory, network, disk, battery or the busiest app, in Settings -> Appearance -> Resting notch.
- Multiple selection of files on the Shelf: Shift+click for a range, or drag a box around them from an empty space. Click an empty space to unselect them.
- 'Clear shelf' asks for a second click, so one slip can't empty it.
Windows 1.8.022 October 2026

- Music has a page of its own in Settings, with everything that was spread between General and Appearance.

- The visualiser steps aside when nothing can be heard (a silent intro, or a player using exclusive mode or ASIO), and comes back with the first sound.

- A music visualiser on the Music tab that moves to whatever's playing. Show it beside the track in the resting notch too, in Settings -> Appearance.
- Music can keep the notch full size over full-size windows: show each new track for a moment, or stay full size while it plays - in Settings -> General, under 'Slim down'.
- Long song titles and artists scroll through instead of being cut off.
- What's playing (or a running timer or meeting) now stays at the top of the open notch on every tab, however you open it.
