SOLIFPrivacy
This page explains how SOLIF handles audio, data, and diagnostics. If anything is unclear, contact us.
- Does audio leave the device?
- No. Audio is captured and transcribed locally on your Mac using an on-device speech-to-text model. Audio is not uploaded to any server as part of the dictation flow.
- Is audio stored? Where? For how long?
- Audio is processed on-device for transcription. Temporary audio buffers/files may be created locally while transcription runs, and are deleted automatically when transcription completes.
- Is telemetry collected?
- No. The app does not collect analytics or usage telemetry.
- Are crash logs collected?
- By default, no. Crashes may appear in macOS system crash reports on your device, but the app does not automatically upload crash logs anywhere.
- Any third-party services?
- No third-party cloud services are required to use the app. The app includes open-source components (e.g., whisper.cpp) for on-device transcription. Update delivery (if enabled) may use your chosen hosting provider (e.g., GitHub Releases or your website).
- Any network calls?
- Dictation works fully offline. Network access is only used for optional features like checking for and downloading app updates (via Sparkle). Update checks can be disabled if you prefer.
