- What it is
- Lavoi's own privacy page, last updated October 25, 2026. It states what runs on the Mac, what is downloaded, what the app keeps, and that Lavoi sends no audio and no text anywhere.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own privacy statement, the most specific source for where speech is processed and what leaves the Mac. It describes the app's design, not an independent audit.
