Verify it yourself

Don’t take our word for it: verify it yourself

AirGapScribe says it transcribes your meetings on your own PC and uploads nothing. That is a claim you should be able to check. This page lists exactly what the app connects to and when, what we measured, and how to repeat the test on your own machine.

What we measured. On 10 October 2026, on a Windows 11 PC, we launched AirGapScribe 1.2.72 (the Microsoft Store build) and left it open in two runs of 75 and 45 seconds, sampling the network connections of the app and all of its child processes every one to three seconds. Result: a single process and zero remote TCP connections in both runs, and in the second run no DNS lookups for the domains listed below. Limits: the app was idle (we did not record in that test), we sampled TCP only, and a connection shorter than the sampling interval could be missed. Use the methods below to repeat it while recording.

What AirGapScribe does connect to, and when

Pro license check. When you activate a Pro license, and from time to time afterwards, the app sends your license key and the product name to webhooks.airgapscribe.com to confirm it is valid. No audio, transcript or meeting content is included. If it cannot reach the server, a valid Pro license keeps working for up to 14 days.
Downloading models, only when you choose a model that is not yet on your PC. The speech models come from OpenAI’s public model host (openaipublic.azureedge.net), the local assistant model from Hugging Face or ModelScope, and an optional GPU pack from GitHub. These are downloads: nothing of yours is uploaded.
Updates are handled by the Microsoft Store, not by the app itself.
Crash reports open your own email client with a pre-filled message. Nothing is sent unless you press send.
Links such as the pricing page open in your browser.

Three ways to check it on your own PC

Resource Monitor. Press Win + R, type resmon, open the Network tab and look at TCP Connections for AirGapScribe.exe while you record and transcribe. You should see no connections to remote addresses.
PowerShell. With the app open, run:
```
Get-NetTCPConnection -OwningProcess (Get-Process AirGapScribe).Id | Where-Object { $_.RemoteAddress -notin '127.0.0.1','::1' }
```
If it prints a message that no objects were found, the app has no remote TCP connections at that moment. Run it a few times during a recording.
Airplane mode. Once the app and the models you use are installed, turn on airplane mode, then record and transcribe a short meeting. If you have downloaded what you need, it works the same.

Honest limits

The first time you use a model it has to be downloaded, so that step needs internet.
A Pro license is validated online from time to time, as described above.
We measured the app idle. The methods above let you check while recording; if you find a connection we have not listed, please tell us at support@airgapscribe.com.
AirGapScribe is made by one developer. This page describes version 1.2.72; later versions may change, and we will update it.

FAQ

Does AirGapScribe upload my audio?

No. Recording, transcription and the AI assistant run on your own PC. The only network use is the Pro license check, model downloads you choose, and normal Microsoft Store updates.

Is anything of my recordings sent in the license check?

No. It sends only the license key and the product name.

How can I be sure?

Use Resource Monitor or the PowerShell command on this page to watch the app’s connections while you record, or turn on airplane mode and use it.
