Privacy Policy

Summary

Voxt is designed to be private by default. Your voice and text never leave your Mac. All speech recognition and AI formatting run on-device using Apple's frameworks. Voxt does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

What Voxt does not do

• Does not upload audio recordings to any server
• Does not send transcribed text to any external service
• Does not store audio or text after a session ends
• Does not collect usage analytics or crash reports
• Does not share any data with third parties

On-device processing

Speech recognition is performed by Apple's Speech framework. Text formatting is performed by Foundation Models (Apple Intelligence), running entirely on your device. Neither framework sends data to external servers — this is a guarantee provided by Apple's on-device AI stack.

Audio recordings are written to a temporary file during processing and deleted immediately afterward. No audio is retained between sessions.

Update checks

The only external network request Voxt makes is an optional update check in the About tab. This sends an HTTP HEAD request to github.com/morishin/voxt/releases/latest to compare version numbers. No personal data is included in this request.

Permissions

Voxt requests the following system permissions, which you can review and revoke at any time in System Settings:

• Microphone — required to record your voice
• Speech Recognition — required to transcribe audio on-device
• Accessibility — required to type text into other apps
• Input Monitoring — required to detect your push-to-talk hotkey
