Messages Right Where You Want Them

Message Position now holds the exact height you choose, messages glide gently into place, and Fix Selection handles two of the most common everyday corrections.

  • Your chosen position holds, to the pixel. Messages now appear at precisely the height you set in Appearance, however fine the adjustment. If you ever moved the Message Position slider and still saw messages sitting near the top of your screen, this update resolves that, and your existing setting is kept.
  • Messages glide into place. Every message now eases down and settles softly at your chosen height, so it arrives without pulling your eye away from what you are writing.
  • Sharper everyday corrections. Fix Selection now completes "ill" into "I'll" where that is what you meant, and adds the comma after an opener such as "Yep", "Yes" or "OK". So "yep ill work on that" becomes "Yep, I'll work on that". Charm still leaves your own phrasing alone: "I feel ill", "No problem" and "Sure thing" are untouched.

Your Phrases, Your Way

Learned phrases are now yours to search, add and edit, messages appear exactly where you want them, and Charm always tells you what it has done.

  • Take charge of your phrases. Settings > Personal now lets you search everything Charm has learned, add your own phrases by hand, and double-click any of them to reword it. Handy for adding punctuation so a phrase is suggested exactly as you like it.
  • Sharper suggestions. Phrases are offered once you have written them a few times, and only when they genuinely save you typing, so they turn up when they help and stay quiet when they would not. Single words like a sign-off can be learned too.
  • Choose where messages appear. A new Message Position control in Appearance lets you slide Charm's messages to the height that suits your screen, with a live preview as you drag. If your menu bar or toolbars are busy, move them clear.
  • A calmer, more consistent look. Every message Charm shows now appears in the same place, at the same size, in the same style, including after Fix Selection. Appearance has been rebuilt to keep your correction glow and your messages clearly separate.
  • Charm always keeps you posted. Messages now appear whether or not you use the correction glow. If you ever start a Fix Selection and switch apps, the note telling you your corrected text is on the clipboard is one you will always see.

Sharper Predictions

Word prediction now only ever suggests real words, so your completions stay clean and trustworthy.

  • Only real words are suggested. Charm now checks that a predicted word is genuine before offering it, so a stray suggestion it had once picked up from a typo no longer appears. If you ever saw a prediction that was not quite a real word, this update resolves that.
  • Your own vocabulary keeps working. Names and terms you add to your dictionary are always predicted, and British spellings are fully respected.
v1.0.59Jul 7

Your Mode Sticks

Charm now keeps the correction mode you choose, and is even more careful to leave your exact wording alone.

  • Your correction mode sticks. When you set an app to automatic correction, Charm now keeps it there, including in browsers, instead of switching it back on its own. If you ever noticed a browser dropping back to manual, this update resolves that.
  • More careful corrections. Charm is now stricter about leaving your wording alone: it will not turn a typo into an unrelated word, and it never adds punctuation that changes your sentence.
v1.0.58Jul 6

Support, Right From Settings

Getting help and sharing what you think is now a click away, straight from Charm's Settings.

  • Support, right from Settings. Settings now has a Support section where you can report a bug, request a feature, leave a testimonial, review the roadmap, or open the FAQ, each takes you straight to the Support Centre.
v1.0.57Jul 4

Charm Learns Your Words

Charm now learns the word you actually meant, finishes tidying full sentences everywhere, and reads dense text more accurately.

  • Charm learns the words you mean. When Charm corrects a word to the wrong thing and you fix it to what you meant, it now remembers, and gives you your word next time. You can review everything it has learned in Settings, under Personal.
  • A more polished Fix Selection. Cleaning up a selection now finishes the job: Charm capitalises the opening word and completes the sentence with a full stop, wherever you write, including browsers and web apps.
  • Sharper corrections, especially in dense text. A round of refinements so Charm reads tricky, typo-heavy passages more accurately, keeping acronyms, names, and your phrasing intact, and the on-device model is ready faster when you need it.
v1.0.56Jul 3

A Smarter Correction Engine

Charm now combines its built-in checker and on-device model more intelligently, so more of your typos get caught.

  • A smarter correction engine. Charm now blends its built-in spell-checker with its on-device model more intelligently, so it catches more of your typos and picks the right correction more consistently, even in dense or messy text. If you ever noticed a typo in an earlier word slip through, this update improves that.
v1.0.55Jul 2

Leaves Correct Text Alone

Fix Selection now respects text that's already right, including product and code names.

  • Refined Fix Selection. Fix Selection now leaves already-correct text, including product and code names, exactly as you wrote it. If you ever saw a correctly-spelled name get nudged, this update resolves that.
v1.0.54Jul 2

Code-Friendly Corrections

  • Improvements and refinements throughout. A range of enhancements across Charm to keep everyday use smooth and reliable.
  • Charm leaves your code alone. Code editors and IDEs now default to on-demand correction, so your source code is never auto-changed as you type. Manual Fix Selection still works whenever you want it.
  • Easier to add apps in Settings. You can now pick any running app to set its correction rules, including ones installed outside your Applications folder.
  • A refined Settings experience. A cleaner, more consistent design across the Customise and Personal sections, plus History and Diagnostics.
v1.0.53Jul 1

Currency-Aware Corrections

  • A smarter Fix Selection. Numerous under-the-hood improvements for more accurate results.
  • Currency-aware corrections. Charm now recognises the currency symbol you use ($, £, €, and more) and keeps it intact, whatever language you write in.
v1.0.52Jun 29

Learns Your Common Phrases

  • Charm now learns your common phrases. Write the same short line a couple of times, a message you send often or a stock reply, and Charm offers the whole thing as a one-Tab suggestion. It all stays on your Mac, and you can review or clear what it has learned in Settings.
  • A noticeably stronger Fix Selection. Cleaning up selected text now catches more: subject-verb agreement ("he don't" becomes "he doesn't"), common word mix-ups, verb tense, and stray mid-sentence capitals, and it finishes questions with a question mark and statements with a full stop, all without ever rewriting your wording.
  • Every shortcut in one place. The Keyboard Shortcuts settings now include a clear reference for the in-the-moment ones, accepting or undoing a prediction, undoing a correction, and adding a word to your dictionary, so there's nothing to remember.
v1.0.51Jun 29

Lighter in Browsers

  • Noticeably lighter in browsers. Charm now uses far less CPU while you type in Chrome, Vivaldi, Dia and other browsers. If your browser ever felt heavier with Charm running, this update resolves that.
  • Sharper browser handling. Per-site settings now stay tied to the exact site you're on, and web pages are recognised more reliably, so corrections happen right where they should.
  • More private by default. Charm now works only on the text you're actually writing, staying out of your browser's address and search bars.
  • More accurate corrections. New safeguards apply a correction only when it forms a real word and lands exactly where intended, keeping your text clean.
v1.0.50Jun 27

Calmer Predictions, Smarter Fixes

  • Calmer, more accurate word prediction. Suggestions now stay perfectly in step as you type, with no more mix-ups when you type quickly or pause mid-thought and resume. Predictions also land cleanly in apps built on web technology, such as Claude, where a suggested word could previously end up in the wrong spot or split across a line. And accepting a suggestion with Tab now always leaves your cursor exactly where you expect it.
  • A more thorough Fix Selection. When you polish a selection by hand, Charm now always runs the full spelling and grammar pass even when live grammar is switched off, catches more natural grammar fixes including subject-verb agreement, and finishes a complete sentence with a full stop when one belongs, while intelligently leaving chat messages, titles, and unfinished thoughts exactly as you wrote them.
  • Knows when to step aside. Charm now leaves terminals (iTerm2, Terminal, Warp and others) entirely alone, so your commands and code are never altered, and in app editors that cannot support live correction it bows out gracefully on its own and points you to Fix Selection.
  • A clearer, more reliable setup. Granting permissions is easier to follow: Charm tells you exactly which permission it still needs, takes you straight to the right place to switch it on, and offers a one-tap restart so everything is recognised right away.
v1.0.49Jun 26

Smoother Live Correction

  • A smoother Live Correction experience when you move quickly between sentences and lines.
  • Refinements that keep your cursor exactly where you expect while you type.
v1.0.48Jun 26

Faster, Snappier Corrections

  • Faster, snappier corrections, with quick fixes feeling close to instant.
  • A smoother, more responsive Fix Selection from start to finish.
  • Enhanced reliability for Charm's on-device intelligence, wherever and however you work.
  • Refined accuracy across everyday words and phrases.
v1.0.47Jun 3

A More Powerful Personal Dictionary

  • Your Personal Dictionary is now even more powerful. Names and terms you add are preserved exactly as you write them - capitals and all - and Charm uses them as the canonical spelling. So if you add "Wouter", typing "wouter" is gently corrected to "Wouter" in real-time and in Fix Selection.
  • Charm's AI now respects your Personal Dictionary across every correction. Names, brand names, and any words you've added will never be replaced or recapitalised - even by the grammar pass.
  • The Personal Dictionary list now displays entries with the exact letter case you typed them in.
