FAQ

Where does my data actually go?

Only to the storage you configure - self-hosted, personal cloud, or business cloud. Encrypted in transit, nothing on our servers.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Hypenote is a one-time purchase. Managed transcription is optional.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Recording needs no internet. Upload happens over WiFi when your storage is reachable.

I'm not technical, can I really build my own pipeline?

Walkthroughs, benchmarks, and how-tos get you started. A desktop app for local upload is on the way.

When does it ship and what will it cost?

Kickstarter launch soon. Early backers get $114 vs $172 regular. Join the list for the date.
