Privacy and your data

How Jarvis keeps your data private: on-device transcription, local memory, no account to start, and optional cloud features that use your own keys.

Privacy is not a setting in Jarvis, it is the default. Here is exactly what stays on your Mac and what, if anything, leaves it.

Your voice stays on-device

Dictation runs a speech model locally on your Mac. Your audio is never uploaded, which is also why there is no network latency between speaking and seeing text.

Your memory is local

What Jarvis remembers about you lives in a local database and plain files on your Mac. It is single-user and on-device by default, and you can view, export, or clear it whenever you want.

No account to start

Jarvis needs no signup, no credit card, and no telemetry. You download the beta and use it.

Optional cloud uses your keys

Some advanced features can call a cloud model for more power. When they do, they use your own API key, so the request goes from your Mac to the provider, not through us.
