The Zero-Maintenance Private Voice Journal
Setting up a self-hosted Whisper API pipeline on a Raspberry Pi or local server just to keep your voice journal private is a massive headache. You have to manage Docker containers, deal with port forwarding, and constantly troubleshoot mobile webhooks. CHELA offers the absolute privacy guarantees of a self-hosted setup—including zero-training clauses and auto-delete protocols—but delivered through a seamless, zero-maintenance mobile application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run CHELA locally on my own hardware?
CHELA operates strictly as a cloud-SaaS product. However, our architecture is specifically designed to emulate the privacy bounds of a self-hosted instance through strict zero-retention policies and isolated processing.
What models do you use for transcription?
We utilize highly optimized, enterprise-grade instances of frontier models (like Whisper and custom diarization models) running on secured GPU clusters to provide speed impossible on consumer hardware.
How do I know you aren't keeping my data?
Our transient processing architecture is built to automatically drop the source audio file from memory the millisecond the transcription is complete. We couldn't train on your data even if we wanted to.
Can I export my notes to my local NAS?
Yes! You can instantly bulk-export all of your generated Markdown notes as a zip file to store safely on your Synology NAS or local encrypted hard drive.
