About Superwhisper

Superwhisper is an AI dictation app that runs Whisper models locally on the device, so audio never has to leave the user's machine, with optional cloud models for higher accuracy. Beyond dictation in any app, it offers file and meeting transcription, custom modes, and integrations aimed at driving agentic coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code by voice. It is built by an independent developer and popular with privacy-conscious professionals and developers.
