export async function fetchUser(id: string)

const res = await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`)

if (!res.ok) throw new Error('Failed')

return res.json()

}

export async function createProject(data: ProjectInput)

const headers = getAuthHeaders()

const body = JSON.stringify(data)

const res = await fetch('/api/projects', {

method: 'POST', headers, body

})

if (!res.ok) throw new ApiError(res)

return res.json()

}

// Retry wrapper for transient failures

export async function withRetry<T>(

fn: () => Promise<T>,

retries = 3

): Promise<T>

// TODO: implement backoff

The token refresh is handled in refreshToken() at line 42. The current catch block silently swallows errors. Here's how to add retry logic with exponential backoff:

async function refreshToken(retries = 3) {

for (let i = 0; i < retries; i++) {

try { return await fetchNewToken() }

catch { await sleep(2 ** i * 1000) }

}

Do I need to create an account?

No account needed! Download, install, and start using Vowen immediately. Your data stays completely local on your device.

Does Vowen work offline?

Yes! Vowen's transcription runs completely locally using open-source Whisper models. No internet connection required for basic transcription. AI features (optional) require internet.

Is my data private and secure?

Absolutely. Vowen does not collect, store, or access any of your voice data or text. All transcription happens locally on your device. If you choose to use AI features, only the transcribed text is processed by the AI provider.

Which AI providers are supported?

Vowen supports OpenAI (GPT-4), Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter. You can also use custom OpenAI-compatible APIs. AI features are optional and require your own API keys.
