A Free Superwhisper Alternative for Mac

Superwhisper is a $8.49/month (or $84 lifetime) local Whisper app for Mac. Jarvis does what Superwhisper does. Local-first dictation. And adds voice app control, persistent memory, and ambient routines. Free, open source, optimized for Apple Silicon.

Where they overlap

Both run Whisper-based dictation entirely on your Mac. Both work offline. Both support multiple languages. If you only want transcription, both work great.

Where they differ

Superwhisper is dictation-only. Jarvis is dictation + voice control + memory + routines. Saying "open Slack and reply to the design channel" works in Jarvis, not Superwhisper.

Pricing

Superwhisper: $8.49/month or $84 lifetime. Jarvis: free, open source, no tier upgrades.

Multi-language

Superwhisper supports 100+ languages today. Jarvis supports 30+ and is expanding. For long-tail languages, Superwhisper edges ahead.

Which to pick

If you only need transcription in an uncommon language, Superwhisper. If you want a voice-first AI that controls your Mac and remembers what you tell it, Jarvis.
