Superwhisper Word Count

A small, local-only macOS menu-bar app that displays the number of words spoken through Superwhisper during the trailing seven days.

The app reads rawResult from each meta.json under:

~/Documents/superwhisper/recordings

It interprets Superwhisper's timezone-less datetime values as UTC, refreshes once per minute, and does not send transcript data anywhere.

Build

./build.sh

The signed application bundle is created at:

dist/Superwhisper Word Count.app

Open the app from Finder when ready. macOS may request permission to read the Documents folder on first launch.

Check

env \
  CLANG_MODULE_CACHE_PATH="$PWD/.build/module-cache/clang" \
  SWIFTPM_MODULECACHE_OVERRIDE="$PWD/.build/module-cache/swift" \
  /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swift \
  run --disable-sandbox SuperwhisperStatsChecks

Current limitation

The recordings directory is intentionally fixed to Superwhisper's default location. If the directory is moved in Superwhisper settings, update recordingsDirectory in SuperwhisperWordCountApp.swift and rebuild.
