Among all the offline transcription apps I've tried, my favorite remains https://whispernotes.app. High accuracy, one-time purchase, and genuinely offline. I love its clean UI.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of subscription-based apps. If it's truly offline, shouldn't it support a one-time purchase model? The whole point of local-first is that you're not dependent on ongoing cloud services, so why structure pricing like you are?

That said, will definitely give Whispering a try - always happy to see more open source alternatives in this space, especially with the local whisper.cpp integration that just landed.
