The entire Windows app is ~6x smaller than the ~200MB runtime a typical Electron app ships before any app code.
~226 MB
Light idle RAM
Total RAM with the AI model loaded and ready to transcribe - always ready without weighing down your system.
+7.8 W
Barely a blip
A single transcription peaks at just +7.8W GPU and +4.3MB RAM, then settles right back to idle.
Flat
No memory creep
Back-to-back transcriptions hold flat after a one-time warm-up - a footprint that lasts all day, not one that degrades.
