Your voice and your history stay on this Mac. Only the text you choose to paste goes anywhere.
How the app works
The speech models ship inside the app, so dictation and file transcription run entirely on your Mac from the first launch, offline included. There’s no account, no cloud compute, and no telemetry.
Your transcript history and your dictionary are plain local files on this Mac. Search them, export them, delete them; Edict never syncs or uploads them.
The one network call Edict can make is its update check, and it asks you first. Say no and it makes none.
When you buy
Checkout runs on Polar, the merchant of record. Polar sees your payment details; the app never does.
Your license key arrives by email, sent through Resend, which processes your email address to deliver it.
This site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard server logs.
What’s actually running
$
lsof -i -c Edict→No sockets open while it runs.
$
nettop -p $(pgrep Edict)→Byte counters stay at zero while it works.
