Introducing Mac Whisper Notes

March 15, 20255 min readWhisper Notes Team

Whisper Notes has been a leading solution for offline AI voice recognition on iOS devices. Today, we're excited to announce the release of Mac Whisper Notes - redesigned and rebuilt specifically for the macOS experience.

Not Just a Port, But a True Desktop Experience

We understand that while our iOS app was previously downloadable on Mac, it wasn't optimized for desktop workflows. Many users provided feedback that the interface was limited and the features were restrictive compared to what a real Mac application should offer.

We've listened, and we've completely redesigned Whisper Notes for macOS from the ground up. The new Mac Whisper Notes delivers a native desktop experience with a streamlined interface that takes full advantage of Mac's screen real estate and processing power.
