## What it is

MacWhisper is a Mac app from indie developer Jordi Bruin that runs OpenAI's Whisper models locally, so audio stays on your machine. The free version transcribes files and exports TXT, SRT, and VTT, while Pro is a one-time license around 59 euros (roughly $69) with lifetime updates. A Mac App Store version is sold as a subscription instead.
