Common failure patterns and how to diagnose them

Provider details

MacWhisper is a native macOS app that transcribes audio locally with Whisper models (and optionally cloud models), sold on Gumroad. Nothing runs on a server except licence checks and optional cloud transcription, so failures are local.

What we monitor
MacWhisper app — Local transcription
Gumroad — Purchase and licence
Optional cloud models — Third-party APIs
Ecosystem dependencies
Gumroad for licensing
Operator notes
  • DownForAI probes the Gumroad product page (the DB website URL), not the app.

How we monitor

DownForAI checks monitored AI service surfaces on a rotating schedule, roughly every 75 minutes per surface, from a single centralized probe infrastructure. For services with an official machine-readable status page, we use that official status signal when available. For other services, we perform a basic public-surface check. Some services block datacenter probes; in those cases we mark them as “Monitoring limited” instead of treating a failed probe as a confirmed outage. Status is classified as Operational, Degraded, or Outage. Network latency (check response time) measures how long the monitored endpoint took to respond to our probe — it is not model inference speed, time-to-first-token, or tokens-per-second performance. We are independent of all providers listed and receive no compensation to report any particular status.
