What it is

Aiko is the free App Store entry point to Whisper on Apple devices. Feature-light but genuinely frictionless — open, drop a file, get a transcript. Good gateway drug for people who aren't sure they need anything fancier.

Best for: Casual users who want a zero-friction free Whisper app from the App Store.
Watch out for: Smaller model only; no batch processing; no diarization.
