But do you start onnx and whisper.cpp on fresh install / start? I did nothing. I literally just installed the app and started it without selectin a model.

Oh interesting. I totally misread the original comment, I didn't realize you're talking about RAM usage. 120MB is quite a lot. This surprises me too. There's nothing fancy going on really until the model is chosen.

Yeah exactly. Tbh Tauri is touted as more lightweight than Electron but I have never seen a Tauri application that lived up to this claim.
