Offscript
Offscript turns voice recordings into searchable notes on Android and iOS.
What Offscript is
Offscript turns voice recordings into searchable notes on Android and iOS. It uses Whisper to transcribe audio locally after an initial model download of about 100 MB, and semantic search also runs on the device. The maker says core recording, transcription, search, and note workflows work offline after that download. Recordings stay on the phone rather than being sent to the maker’s servers or third parties. Its policy describes AES-256-GCM encryption for audio files and SQLCipher for the notes database. The app supports biometric access; Android requires a secure device lock and supports secure-screen protections. Core note-taking needs no account, and the product page lists no accounts or tracking. The App Store listing says transcription covers 99 languages and the interface is available in 19. The free plan includes core voice notes, transcription, and search. Premium adds summaries, action items, exports in PDF, Markdown, CSV, or plain text, calendar integration, and encrypted backups. Premium costs $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or 59.99 USD once for lifetime access.
