Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CipherScript's privacy, performance, and features.

Is CipherScript really 100% offline?
Yes. CipherScript has zero network entitlements, which means macOS physically prevents the app from accessing the internet. Your audio files and transcripts never leave your device.
How does CipherScript compare to MacWhisper?
Both are excellent tools. CipherScript focuses specifically on the professional creative workflow: click-to-jump navigation, cleaner document-style editing, and a "pay once, own forever" model without different tiers. We prioritize a distraction-free environment for filmmakers and journalists.
Can lawyers use CipherScript for client confidential material?
Absolutely. Because CipherScript runs entirely offline with no cloud connection, it is safe for handling sensitive client data, depositions, and evidence that cannot legally be uploaded to third-party servers.
What audio formats does CipherScript support?
CipherScript supports all major video and audio formats compatible with macOS, including MP4, MOV, MP3, WAV, M4A, and AAC. If QuickTime can play it, CipherScript can transcribe it.
Does CipherScript work without internet?
Yes. You can be on a plane, in a remote location, or in a secure facility with no WiFi, and CipherScript will work exactly the same. The AI model is stored locally on your Mac.
