- What it is
- The privacy overview in Juno's own documentation. It says speech recognition, writing and storage run on the Mac, that network use is limited to model downloads, that audio is never used for training, and that the app is free during the current period.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own documentation, read on 2026-10-25. Its free-use wording ('during the current period') is narrower than the home page's 'Free forever', so the free plan row notes the difference. The docs landing page has no further row figure.
