Does any meeting audio or transcript ever leave my Mac?
+
Never. DaySpire uses a bundled, highly optimized offline transcription system and local speaker identification. All audio recordings, transcripts, summaries, and task extractions are computed entirely on your device. No third-party network uploads, no cloud dependencies, no tracking.
How are my files and databases secured?
+
Your daily timeline, window activity counts, meeting transcripts, and project indices are written directly to an encrypted local database. Access keys are managed safely inside the macOS Keychain. The database attaches directly inside your app’s user container path and is invisible to other user accounts.
What is the local-first "Vendor-Blind" promise?
+
"Vendor-Blind" means our system is built so that your work stays strictly on your machine. There are no corporate collection servers or cloud logs. Everything runs directly on your computer's memory under standard macOS app constraints, completely isolating your data.
What macOS permissions does the app require?
+
To provide automated summaries and speaker timelines, DaySpire can use the Microphone (for private offline recording) and screen visibility (optional, to index context). It never monitors keystrokes, and highly sensitive projects are excluded automatically.
Is my license verification offline-safe?
+
Yes. DaySpire license keys contain signed tokens that the native application validates locally. There is no constant cloud check, keeping the app 100% functional even when you are fully offline or in secure zones.
