Yours isn't OSS, meaning I have no idea what I'm running

OSS would be incredibly slow, also seems like overkill for this use case

Uses liquidGlass fairly heavily- just design reasons-- I'm happy to expand compatibility

At $3.99 this was an instant buy for me until the App Store told me I couldn't. I think the venn diagram between HN users and those holding off on Tahoe is probably a pretty big overlap. ;-)

"Smart, invisible regex" sounds like a lot of bs... could you give a more technical explanation? Also the Whisper model doesn't really have a context window, it already segments the audio with a certain amount of overlap between the chunks, I really have a hard time understanding what you are trying to say here.

Whisper will fail > 99%* (edit, most of the time) of the time at lengths over 90 minutes and fairly high over one hour.
