Introducing Pay Once, dictation without a subscription

v0.5.0, feature

Not everyone wants a subscription. Pay Once is a single $59 purchase that unlocks Local Mode: Epilude's fully on-device dictation and Cleanup, where your audio is processed right on your Mac and never leaves it. It works offline (the app just checks in occasionally when you're online), and your purchase includes a full year of app updates.

Cloud Mode, with the fastest transcription and our largest Cleanup models, still runs on Pro or your free trial. Pay Once covers everything that happens on-device.
