Cleanroom Whisper

Offline Audio Transcription Application

Cleanroom Whisper is an end-user desktop application for offline audio transcription using whisper.cpp. It provides a simple, privacy-first way to transcribe audio recordings without any network connection.

Key Features

  • Privacy-first: All transcription happens locally, no data leaves your computer

  • Simple UI: System tray icon with global hotkey support

  • Persistent storage: SQLite database for transcription history

  • Minimal dependencies: Pure Rust with whisper.cpp integration

Project Status

See the roadmap for current implementation status and milestones.

Core Principles

Cleanroom Whisper follows the Principles established for all AirGap projects:

  • Privacy through data locality (no network code)

  • Minimal dependencies (≤10 direct Rust crates)

  • Simple architecture (obvious, maintainable code)

  • air-gap ready (works with zero internet access)
