Offscript

What Offscript is

Offscript turns voice recordings into searchable notes on Android and iOS. It transcribes audio locally with Whisper 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, according to the maker. Its policy describes AES-256-GCM encryption for audio and SQLCipher for the notes database. The app supports biometric access; on Android, a secure device lock is required and secure-screen protections are supported. Core note-taking needs no account, and the product page lists no accounts or tracking. The App Store listing says it transcribes in 99 languages and has an interface in 19. The free plan covers core voice notes, transcription, and search. Premium adds summaries, action items, several export formats, calendar integration, and encrypted backups. Premium costs $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or 59.99 USD once for lifetime access.

Who it suits

Offscript suits people who want voice notes they can search locally, including when offline after the initial download. It may also suit users who want to export notes or use summaries and calendar integration through Premium.

Limits

The free plan includes core voice notes, on-device transcription, and search. Premium is required for summaries, action items, PDF, Markdown, CSV, or plain-text exports, calendar integration, and encrypted backups.

Verdict
