Redirect loops when attempting to download the app from the Wispr Flow website

Last updated: October 28, 2026

Available on: Mac, Windows, iOS, Android

If clicking Download on the Wispr Flow website keeps refreshing the page or sending you in circles, use a direct desktop installer or your phone's app store to install Flow.

Quick checks

  • Browser: Try Chrome, Safari, or Edge with extensions disabled; extensions and privacy settings can cause redirect loops.

  • Cache: Clear your browser cache; cached redirects can persist after the underlying issue is fixed.

  • Sign-in: Sign in on the website and allow its cookies — blocking all cookies can keep you from reaching the downloads page. Signing in normally takes you to your sign-in provider and back; confirming an email signup returns you to get-started.

  • Address: Use https://wisprflow.ai/downloads; /download adds a redirect through get-started.

Retry the download after each check. If it still returns to the website, use the direct link for your platform below.

Download and install Flow

These desktop links bypass the website download page. Use them exactly: a typo, trailing slash, or extra path returns you to https://www.wisprflow.ai instead of showing an error.

Mac

Flow requires macOS Monterey or later. Earlier systems show “Unsupported MacOS Version” and quit; upgrade macOS before continuing.

Note: A first-launch confirmation for an app downloaded outside the App Store is normal. If macOS blocks the app as damaged or unidentified, re-download using the direct link.

  1. Check Apple menu → About This Mac: an Apple M-series Chip means Apple Silicon; an Intel Processor means Intel.

  2. Download the matching Apple Silicon installer or Intel installer.

  3. Open the installer from your Downloads folder.

  4. Drag Wispr Flow to the top level of the Applications folder.

Flow must run from Applications. If you open it from the mounted installer, Downloads, or the Desktop, choose Move to Applications and reopen it from there, or choose Quit. If you cancel the macOS authorization prompt or the move can't complete, Flow asks you to drag it to Applications yourself and quits.

Two cases need a manual fix instead of the move: if the app was renamed (for example “Wispr Flow 2.app” or “Flow.app”), rename it back to Wispr Flow and drag it to Applications; if it sits in a subfolder of Applications, move it to the top level.

Windows

Windows has one x64 (64-bit Intel/AMD) build and no separate ARM build. A non-x64 launch shows “Unsupported Windows Architecture” and Flow quits.

  1. Go to https://dl.wisprflow.ai/windows/latest.

  2. Open the installer from your Downloads folder.

  3. Follow the on-screen steps.

The link may provide a small downloader or the full installer, and not necessarily the newest release; the downloader fetches and opens the installer, using an older build if it cannot find the latest download. Flow updates itself after installation.

iPhone or iPad

Mobile devices install from the app store, not the desktop download page. If Flow is already installed, a mobile download link can open the app instead of a web page.

  1. Open the App Store, tap Search, and enter Wispr Flow.

  2. Tap Get or the download icon next to Wispr Flow.

Android phone or tablet

Mobile devices install from the app store, not the desktop download page. Signing in from the browser opens the Google Play listing if Flow isn't installed.

  1. Open the Google Play Store and search for Wispr Flow.

  2. Tap Install next to Wispr Flow.

Finish installation

  1. Open Wispr Flow from Applications on Mac, the Start menu on Windows, or your phone.

  2. Sign in to Flow. Desktop sign-in expires after five minutes; if it expires, restart sign-in from Flow.

If Flow opens and you can sign in, installation is complete. If it won't open, use the steps below.

If installation is blocked

Note: On managed devices, ask IT to allow https://dl.wisprflow.ai for downloads and updates. A proxy, DNS, or firewall block prevents downloading and updating Flow. Retry after access is restored.

Mac: “Incorrect App Version”

Flow shows “Incorrect App Version” and quits when it detects the Intel build on an Apple Silicon Mac.

  1. Repeat the Mac installation steps above using the Apple Silicon installer.

  2. Open Flow again.

If Flow stays open, sign in. If it still quits, contact support.

Windows: a security warning blocks the installer

A reputation-based SmartScreen warning can appear. If you receive the small downloader, the installer it opens does not trigger a second SmartScreen prompt.

Warning: Only bypass warnings for the installer from the direct Windows link above. Restore antivirus protection after retrying.

  1. Click More info → Run anyway. If installation starts, finish it and sign in; otherwise, check whether antivirus is blocking the file.

  2. Pause your antivirus temporarily and try again if it is blocking the file.

Managed-device policy can prevent bypassing SmartScreen; contact your IT administrator if Run anyway isn't available. If the installer still won't open, contact support.

Windows: “Wispr Flow couldn't finish installing.”

The reason can be “We couldn't reach the download server.”, “The download didn't finish.”, “The downloaded file failed a security check.”, or “The installer downloaded but wouldn't start.” For a download-server error, clear the network block described in the note above first.

  1. Retry the direct Windows download above.

  2. Open the downloaded installer.

If an installer is already running, a second copy closes without a dialog; let the first finish. If installation completes, open Flow and sign in. If the error returns, contact support.

IT admins: machine-wide installer alternative

If policy blocks apps installed in a user's profile, use the machine-wide MSI rather than the per-user Setup installer. The MSI installs for all users on the device, is x64-only, and can lag the latest app release.

Download it from https://dl.wisprflow.ai/windows/msi/latest, a stable link. If the link returns you to the Wispr Flow website instead of downloading, the MSI isn't available yet; confirm availability with your Wispr contact before relying on it. The MSI and separate Apple Silicon and Intel Mac PKG downloads are also in the enterprise admin portal, with Copy stable link for the latest MSI.

Still stuck?

Important: If Flow won't open or you can't sign in, contact support outside the app. Login-screen feedback does not reach support, even if “Feedback sent!” appears, and your message is not recovered to the clipboard if sending fails.

Contact support if:

  • The direct download links show an error in your browser.

  • The installer fails with an error, never finishes, or still won't open after the steps above.

  • A firewall or security setting on your managed device blocks the download.

Include your platform, device, the steps you tried, and any error messages.
