You can delete your account yourself, from inside the app, and it takes effect immediately. Open Settings, choose Profile under Account, and scroll to Delete Account. Click Delete My Account, then click Delete Account in the box that asks you to confirm. That box also has a checkbox, Also erase all data from this device. It’s off unless you tick it. Leave it off and your dictation history, models and settings stay on this computer; tick it and everything OpenWhispr keeps here goes too. The lists below spell it out.
This cannot be undone. There is no grace period and no recovery — once it runs, your account and its data are gone from our side.

​
What gets deleted

Every time:
  • Your OpenWhispr account
  • Your personal cloud data, including cloud-synced notes
  • Your own notes and folders on this computer
Only if you tick Also erase all data from this device:
  • Your dictation history and audio recordings
  • Downloaded models
  • Settings and calendar connections
  • Notes and data from any other account that uses OpenWhispr on this computer
Ticking the box clears OpenWhispr for everyone on this computer, not just you. If someone else uses OpenWhispr here, leave it off. Notes in a team workspace belong to the workspace, so they stay there for your teammates either way.

​
What happens to your subscription

If you have an active subscription, deleting your account cancels it for you. You don’t need to cancel first, and you won’t be charged again. If you want your money back as well, ask us for that before you delete — once the account is gone we have far less to work from. See Refunds.

​
If you own a team workspace

The app will stop you, with a message saying so. A workspace can’t be left without an owner, so before you can delete your account you need to either hand the workspace over to someone else or delete the workspace itself. Email us if you’re not sure which you want — we’ll walk you through it.

​
Just want to stop paying?

Deleting is the heavy option and people sometimes reach for it when they meant something lighter:
  • Stop being charged, keep everything → cancel your subscription. Local dictation keeps working, unlimited, on the Free plan.
  • Move to a different email address → changing your email, which keeps your notes and your subscription.

​
Data protection requests

If you’re making a formal data request — erasure under GDPR, a copy of your data, or anything your legal team has asked you to put in writing — email support@openwhispr.com and say so explicitly. A person handles those, and we’ll confirm in writing what was done. Deleting the account in-app achieves the erasure, but it doesn’t give you the paper trail. Our Privacy Policy sets out what we hold and why.

FAQ

No. Export anything you want to keep first — see Notes.
No. Uninstalling removes the app from your machine; your account and any cloud-synced notes stay. Use Delete Account if you want the account gone.
Open Settings, choose System under System, and under Data Management click Reset next to Reset app data. Confirm with Delete Everything. This removes everything OpenWhispr keeps on this computer, for everyone who uses it here, and the app restarts.
Tell us — that shouldn’t happen and we’ll stop it.
