Superwhisper runs Whisper models on-device so nothing has to leave your machine, with cloud models as an option. Custom "modes" pipe your transcript through an LLM prompt — email, code, notes — and paste the result wherever your cursor is. Meeting Mode supports meeting summaries; Identify Speakers adds speaker labels to transcripts, and a custom mode can extract decisions and action items.

Pros

  • Fully offline option; audio never leaves the device
  • Lifetime license available
  • Flexible AI modes with custom prompts, meeting summaries and speaker labels

Cons

  • Larger local models need a recent Apple Silicon Mac; Intel Macs are steered to cloud models
