“Your dictation stays on your Mac ... Optional local-model features communicate with Ollama on your Mac at 127.0.0.1.”
Privacy notice for Tokens, by Tinkr, Inc., Tinkr, Inc., Tinkr, Inc., 2026, Section 'Your dictation stays on your Mac'.
Open the original- What it measures
- Read on 2026-10-23 from the maker's privacy notice, updated October 18, 2026. Ollama is a local model server; the notice says the user installs the model separately.
- What it does not show
- The notice names no third-party AI service, so this row reads its 'stays on your Mac' statement as a 0. The notice does not say whether pasting dictated text into another app sends it anywhere; it says that app's own privacy practices apply.
