This statement applies to the desktop app in electron/, distributed for
macOS, Windows, and Linux. Textify has no accounts, analytics service, crash
reporting service, or speech upload. It keeps no transcript history unless you
turn on training recordings.
Recordings folder in the Textify
Electron data directory so you can correct them and fine-tune a model. The
files stay on the device until you delete them.On macOS and Windows, global dictation can paste into the original app after checking that it is still focused. Automatic paste restores the previous clipboard only if the clipboard has not changed. Textify does not overwrite newer clipboard content or retry an uncertain paste.
The in-app microphone button uses an explicit Copy workflow. Linux also uses Copy followed by manual paste. Explicit Copy replaces the clipboard normally. Third-party clipboard managers may observe or retain copied text.
Preferences, custom vocabulary, replacement pairs, app exclusions, downloaded models, verification records, and model download progress remain on the device. The desktop app uses its existing Textify Electron data directory so updates retain these settings.
Activity stores daily numeric totals for completed dictations. Day, week, and month views are derived from those totals; dictated words, recordings, and destination apps are not stored in Activity or sent to an analytics service.
The desktop preview does not provide a diagnostics export. Review screenshots or error details before voluntarily attaching them to a support issue.
Signed model catalogs and revocation metadata are bundled with the app. A model download makes an explicit request to its listed host, such as GitHub or Hugging Face, and verifies the received files before use. Dictation works offline once a supported model is installed.
Download hosts receive the requested model URL and ordinary request metadata, such as the IP address, user agent, and request time. This can reveal which model file was requested. Textify does not add dictated content or an analytics payload to those requests.
Opening model, source, or license links uses the default browser, whose privacy practices apply.
Releases that include automatic updates check GitHub Releases for a newer version when the app starts and every six hours. GitHub receives ordinary request metadata, such as the IP address, user agent, and request time. The check sends no dictated content, settings, or analytics. An update downloads only after you choose Update, and it installs the next time Textify quits. You can turn off automatic checks in General settings. Earlier releases and development builds do not check for updates; install those updates manually from GitHub Releases.
