You can delete your account yourself, from inside the app, and it takes effect immediately. Open Settings, choose Account under Account, and scroll to Delete Account. Click Delete My Account, then confirm by typing Delete Everything.
This cannot be undone. There is no grace period and no recovery — once it runs, your data is gone from our side and from your machine.

​
What gets deleted

  • Your OpenWhispr account
  • All cloud-synced notes
  • All local data on this machine — transcriptions, audio recordings, downloaded models, calendar connections and settings

​
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 it all gone.
Tell us — that shouldn’t happen and we’ll stop it.
