In their own words
Offscript
Offscript is an Android and iOS app that turns voice recordings into searchable notes. Whisper transcribes recordings locally after an initial model download of about 100 MB, and semantic search also runs on the device. The maker says 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. Audio files use AES-256-GCM encryption, while the notes database uses SQLCipher. Biometric access is supported; Android requires a secure device lock and offers secure-screen protections. Core note-taking requires no account, and the product page lists no accounts or tracking. The App Store listing says transcription covers 99 languages and the interface has 19 languages. Premium adds summaries, action items, PDF, Markdown, CSV, and plain-text exports, calendar integration, and encrypted backups. The free plan includes core voice notes, on-device transcription, and search. Premium costs $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or 59.99 USD once for lifetime access. Notes can be organized with tags.
