A different take on private transcription

SonWeave as a Whisper Notes Alternative for iPhone

Whisper Notes helped prove that private, one-time-purchase transcription has a real audience. SonWeave follows the same important principles — local processing and honest pricing — while putting transcript chat and a broader post-transcription workflow at the center.

Where SonWeave is focused

SonWeave is built around the entire path from recording to usable knowledge. It combines compatible Apple Speech, Whisper and Parakeet engines with offline speaker diarization, local summaries, study tools and transcript-grounded chat.

  • 103 language options across engines
  • Speaker labels
  • Transcript-aware chat
  • PDF, Word, Markdown, SRT and VTT export

Privacy without an upload-first workflow

Both categories appeal to people who do not want every recording sent to a cloud transcription server. SonWeave does not operate its own account or transcription backend. Optional iCloud and external AI actions remain explicit choices.

One-time launch price

SonWeave's current paid launch version is planned at €5.99 once. For simple perspective, a €9.99 monthly subscription adds up to €119.88 after twelve months. Storefront prices and taxes can vary.
