https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blazingban... Completely free, no ads, no in-app purchases and no accounts / network required offline voice transcription. I have also built the macOS/Windows/Linux versions which I'll also make free to download and available on my site soon (https://blazingbanana.com/). iOS version is built and works (extremely well), just waiting for the Apple Developer signup process to complete. Big shout out to https://github.com/mybigday/whisper.rn and https://huggingface.co/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/main for making this even possible. Any suggestions are welcome.
In Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)

Show HN: Whistle – Offline, private voice transcription using whisper

I was trying to find a simple app to use for offline transcription and translation on my phone, however the Play Store is absolutely chock full of ad filled ones, paid versions, in-app purchases and stuff that's just way too complicated for what I wanted. Whistle is simple, free, no-ads, no tracking, no network permissions required application that allows your to transcribe and share the output to wherever you want. That's it, nothing else. Big shout out to https://github.com/mybigday/whisper.rn and https://huggingface.co/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/main for making this even possible. Any suggestions are welcome.
