Yes, everything is done locally, stick your phone in airplane mode if you want to be sure!
I'm not an Apple fan, but I have to say I've been testing it on an iPhone 15 and my god, the performance is insanely good, I was seriously blown away. I haven't dug into how much it impacts battery, but the transcription literally takes seconds for a minute of audio so it's not holding up your device.
The iOS version is built, ready to go, there's just some bug with my Apple account and it won't let me pay the £80 fee to signup (support ticket raised and waiting). As soon as that's sorted it'll be out on App Store for free as well.
Very surprised to hear the built in transcription is not great, anything specifically bad about it? The hardware is there.

You can download the desktop version from here (https://blazingbanana.com/apps/whistle/) if you want, still very much a WIP.
