vibe
A cross-platform desktop application for transcribing audio and video offline using OpenAI's Whisper models on the user's own machine, with an optional OpenAI backend when a user supplies an API key.
vibe transcribes audio files, recordings and live input on Windows, macOS and Linux using local Whisper models by default, so transcripts do not leave the machine unless the user opts to use an OpenAI backend with their own API key.
The application is built in Rust for speed and a small footprint, with a lightweight interface that aims to feel native on each supported desktop platform, offering clear controls, fast feedback, and support for many languages.
The project also covers building from source and extending the application, alongside its release binaries.
