OffgridScribe turns speech into text and generates summaries entirely on your iPhone. Designed for journalists, lawyers, and anyone dealing with sensitive conversations, it operates 100% offline with no cloud uploads or third-party servers. Enjoy complete privacy, encrypted on-device storage, and a clean, straightforward workflow without subscriptions.
I built OffgridScribe because I wanted a transcription tool that doesn’t compromise on privacy. Most tools require uploading sensitive recordings to the cloud — which isn’t really an option if you’re working with confidential interviews, legal notes, or private meetings. Even with the best intentions, once a recording leaves your device, you’ve lost control of where it ends up.
OffgridScribe processes everything 100% locally on your iPhone. No internet connection needed, no data leaves your device, and no subscription — just a one-time purchase (£24.99) for unlimited access.
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you might have!

Really cool to see something actually built for privacy first. One thing that would make this way more useful for me as a journalist is the ability to tag speakers in real time, like tapping a name when a new voice starts talking, so the transcripts come out attributed instead of just one block of text. Right now I'd have to do that manually afterward which kind of defeats the speed benefit.
Hey , sorry for the slow reply — just saw this! Thank you so much for the feedback, you hit the nail on the head: real-time speaker tagging is a game-changer, especially for journalists who need to turn interviews around instantly without hours of post-cleanup.
We hear you loud and clear. While keeping everything strictly private and on-device is non-negotiable for us, making the transcript actually useful and ready-to-use matters just as much. We’re actively exploring ways to make speaker labeling faster and more intuitive, fully offline. Stay tuned!
Hey! Quick update — speaker tagging just shipped in the latest OffgridScribe release. You can now tag who’s talking as it happens, so transcripts come out already attributed instead of one big block of text. Really appreciate you flagging this — it came straight from your feedback. Would love to hear how it works for you in practice!
