Privacy Mode

Discard audio and transcripts immediately after use. For when you're dictating sensitive stuff.

Already Private by Default

Speakmac processes everything locally on your Mac. Your voice never leaves your computer—there are no cloud servers involved. Privacy Mode adds an extra layer by ensuring nothing is stored on disk after use.

What Privacy Mode Does

When Privacy Mode is enabled, Speakmac automatically deletes:

Audio recordings

Deleted immediately after transcription completes

Transcript text

Deleted after pasting to your app

Note: Your text still gets pasted normally—it's just not stored anywhere afterwards.
