# SuperWhisper è sicuro? Una revisione della privacy e della sicurezza del 2026

SuperWhisper può conservare l'audio interamente sul tuo Mac o inviarlo al cloud, a seconda di un'impostazione che la maggior parte delle persone dimentica di aver modificato. Ecco esattamente quando SuperWhisper è sicuro e quando non lo è.

## Prefazione

SuperWhisper is one of the more privacy-respecting dictation apps on the Mac, and the reason is simple: it can run entirely on your own machine. That single capability puts it ahead of any cloud-only competitor. But "can run locally" is not the same as "always runs locally," and that gap is exactly where the safety question lives.

This review is about that gap. SuperWhisper is safe when you keep it in local mode, and it quietly stops being private the moment you switch to a cloud model for better accuracy - something the app makes easy to do and easy to forget.

Quick answer

SuperWhisper can be safe for privacy: in local mode with a downloaded Whisper model, your audio never leaves your Mac. The catch is configuration drift - its cloud modes send audio to external servers, and it is easy to switch to one without noticing. There is no disclosed breach, but its safety depends on you maintaining local-only mode. A tool with no cloud mode at all, like [Yaps](/features/dictation), removes that risk entirely.

Local On-device transcription is available with downloaded models

Cloud Optional modes that send audio to external servers

You Privacy depends on the mode you keep it set to

## In che modo SuperWhisper elabora la tua voce?

SuperWhisper supports two fundamentally different paths, and which one you are using determines whether it is private:

- **Local mode.** SuperWhisper downloads a Whisper model to your Mac and runs transcription entirely on-device. Your audio never leaves your computer. This is a genuine privacy advantage over any cloud-only solution.
- **Cloud modes.** SuperWhisper can also send your audio to external servers for transcription, typically for higher accuracy or specialised models. In these modes, your voice leaves your device, the same way it would with any cloud dictation app.

Downloading and updating the local models requires an internet connection, but that is a one-time event rather than an ongoing data flow. Once a model is on disk, local transcription works offline.

2.0

## Il rischio della deriva della configurazione

The honest weakness of "private if configured correctly" is human. The most accurate option is often a cloud model, which creates a steady, low-grade temptation to switch - and once switched, nothing on screen reminds you every day that your audio is now leaving the device. Over months, many users drift toward the cloud setting for a hard transcript and never drift back.

This is not a knock on SuperWhisper's engineering. It is the inherent fragility of privacy that depends on a setting rather than on architecture. A guarantee you have to remember to maintain is weaker than a guarantee the software cannot break.

3.0

## SuperWhisper HIPAA è conforme?

SuperWhisper does not advertise a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. In local mode, audio never leaves your device, which is the architecture HIPAA-conscious users want - but HIPAA compliance is a property of your entire workflow and the agreements you have signed, not of a single app toggle. Using any cloud mode would route protected health information to a third party. For covered entities, an on-device tool with no cloud path and a documented data-handling story is the safer default. See our [HIPAA-compliant dictation guide](/blog/hipaa-compliant-dictation-guide).

4.0

## Come verificare cosa sta effettivamente facendo SuperWhisper.

You do not have to take any app's word for it. The simplest test is to disconnect from the internet - turn off Wi-Fi, unplug Ethernet - and dictate. If transcription works identically offline, you are running locally. If it stalls or errors, it is reaching for the cloud. You can also watch network activity in macOS Activity Monitor while you dictate.

## Come disinstallare SuperWhisper

If you are moving on, quit SuperWhisper (Cmd+Q), drag SuperWhisper.app from your Applications folder to the Trash, then remove its leftover support files in Terminal with `rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/superwhisper`. Empty the Trash. If you installed through Setapp, uninstall it from the Setapp menu instead.

## L'opzione sicura più semplice

If your reason for searching "is SuperWhisper safe" is that you handle sensitive material, the most reliable answer is an app where local processing is not a mode you select but the only mode there is. [Yaps](/features/dictation) runs all dictation on-device on Apple Silicon and Android, works offline, and has no cloud mode at all, so there is no setting to drift toward. Signing in starts your desktop trial, and it does not change where the work happens: your voice becomes text on your own machine. For the full comparison, read [Wispr Flow vs SuperWhisper privacy](/blog/wispr-flow-vs-superwhisper-privacy), the [Yaps vs SuperWhisper breakdown](/compare/superwhisper), or our wider [SuperWhisper alternatives](/blog/superwhisper-alternative) guide.

## Domande frequenti

### Is SuperWhisper safe to use?

Yes, with a condition. In local mode, SuperWhisper keeps your audio on your Mac and is genuinely private. In cloud mode, your audio leaves your device like any cloud dictation app. There is no disclosed breach, so the main risk is your own configuration - keeping it set to local.

### Does SuperWhisper send my voice to the cloud?

Only if you use a cloud mode. SuperWhisper's local mode keeps audio on-device. Its cloud modes send audio to external servers for transcription. Check which you are using with the offline test above.

### Is SuperWhisper private?

It can be the most private option in its class when run locally, because the audio never leaves your machine. Its privacy is conditional rather than guaranteed, since the same app can also operate in the cloud.

### Is SuperWhisper HIPAA compliant?

SuperWhisper does not offer a published HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. Local mode keeps audio on-device, but HIPAA compliance depends on your overall workflow and signed agreements, and any cloud mode would send protected health information off-device.

### How do I uninstall SuperWhisper?

Quit the app, move SuperWhisper.app to the Trash, and remove `~/Library/Application\ Support/superwhisper` in Terminal. If you installed via Setapp, uninstall through Setapp.

### What is the most private SuperWhisper alternative?

The most private alternative is an app that only ever processes audio on-device. [Yaps](/features/dictation) has no cloud mode at all, on-device on Apple Silicon and Android and fully offline, so there is no setting that can send your voice away. Signing in starts your desktop trial and governs access, not where your audio is processed.
