Where the privacy decision sits
Superwhisper markets local processing, no training on user data, and no server retention. Cloud model use changes which processor handles the content, so confirm the selected mode and provider.
For confidential, regulated, employment, medical, legal, or client material, verify the exact plan, selected model, retention settings, subprocessors, and contract—not just the homepage claim.
Watch-outs
- Offline performance is best on Apple Silicon.
