openwhispr 1.7.5 (new cask)

[bitconym]

This is a cask for the OpenWhispr Mac application. I personally installed the application with brew per the guide, and ran the application, changing its settings and doing a speech-to-text conversion to check the proper functionality. I uninstalled the application, and manually investigated and verified the zap paths myself against a live install on Apple Silicon; worth mentioning, the app is also notarized.

The app spreads its data across several locations. Its models (Whisper/embedding) and a local Qdrant vector database live under ~/.cache/openwhispr; its Electron user-data directory (SQLite databases, keys, logs) is at ~/Library/Application Support/open-whispr; and it also creates a marker directory at ~/.openwhispr plus a recent-documents shared-file-list entry. Because the app auto-updates, I additionally installed an older release and let it update in place to capture the updater's footprint: electron-updater downloads into ~/Library/Caches/open-whispr-updater and hands off to Squirrel.Mac for the install, which creates ~/Library/Caches/com.gizmolabs.openwhispr, ~/Library/Caches/com.gizmolabs.openwhispr.ShipIt, ~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.gizmolabs.openwhispr, and a per-machine ShipIt plist under ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost. The zap stanza covers every path I observed the app create.

After making any changes to a cask, existing or new, verify:

• The submission is for a stable version or documented exception.
• brew audit --cask --online <cask> is error-free.
• brew style --fix <cask> reports no offenses.

Additionally, if adding a new cask:

• Named the cask according to the token reference.
• Checked the cask was not already refused (add your cask's name to the end of the search field).
• brew audit --cask --new <cask> worked successfully.
• HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --cask <cask> worked successfully.
• brew uninstall --cask <cask> worked successfully.

I used Claude Code to help author the cask and to script the investigation of the app's on-disk footprint. However, I ran every command myself on my own Apple Silicon Mac and personally verified the results. In particular, I determined the zap paths empirically: I installed the app, launched it and used it, then installed an older release and drove the in-app auto-update to 1.7.5 to observe exactly which paths the updater creates (the Squirrel/ShipIt, HTTPStorages, and open-whispr-updater cache paths only appear during a real update, not a fresh install). I cross-checked the result against brew generate-zap and confirmed the stanza covers every path I observed the app create.
