Boomkey

What changed in each Boomkey release.

v1.1.6StableLatestSeptember 24, 2026
  • Chrome address bar: Enter now searches the corrected word, not the one you typed.
  • Double-shift in Gmail and other web editors converts the whole word on every line, not only the first.
  • Exact trial days-left count, and no locked corrections after a first launch without internet.
v1.1.5StableAugust 18, 2026
  • Fixed corrections in mail and other web editors in some browsers.
v1.1.4StableAugust 17, 2026
  • The first correction after launch is instant - no more waiting for it to kick in.
  • Fixed corrections that left a stray character behind - after a short word, and in apps built on Chrome (Codex, unlisted browsers).
  • A custom shortcut built on ⌘C or ⌘V no longer sets corrections off by itself.
v1.1.3StableAugust 6, 2026
  • Auto-correction in Chrome and other browsers is far more reliable: short words before a corrected word are fixed too, and stray leftover characters are gone.
  • Removed the 3-app limit on per-app settings - configure as many apps as you like.
  • UI polish
v1.1.2StableJuly 31, 2026
  • The layout switch shortcut now cycles only through your selected layouts in the Languages tab, making it much easier to manage if you have three or more languages installed.
  • Hotkey correction accurately corrects the last typed word in some apps without backspace glitches, and Korean character pairs remain stable even after uninstalling a layout.
  • UI fixes
v1.1.1StableJuly 27, 2026
  • Double-shift now corrects the last word in Slack, VS Code, Viber and other Electron apps, including Slack search, instead of doing nothing or pasting the wrong text.
  • Auto-correction no longer eats neighbouring characters or the space after a word, and no longer loses the first letter when you switch layout mid-word.
  • Russian and Polish interface, a tidied Settings window, and a heads-up when the shortcut is locked or finds nothing to correct.
v1.1.0StableJuly 21, 2026
  • Boomkey now clearly prompts you when a new version is ready, so updates no longer slip by unnoticed.
  • Reliability and stability improvements.

v1.0.8StableJuly 18, 2026

  • Redesigned Help, and important updates now show full release notes before installing
v1.0.7StableJuly 14, 2026
