Dictation and transcription

Speech recognition happens on your Mac. Neither the audio nor the resulting text is sent anywhere. You can confirm this by turning off your network: both keep working.

AI rewriting, the paid feature

If and only if you turn this on, the transcript and the instruction you wrote are sent to our proxy at api.getkana.app, which forwards them to Claude, run by Anthropic. Our proxy holds them in memory for the duration of one request and writes them nowhere. They are not logged. What we record is a count, a token total and a timestamp.

What we store

If you buy a licence: your email address, your name, your Stripe customer id and an identifier for each Mac you activate. That is what issuing a licence and enforcing a three-device cap requires, and it is all of it.

What we do not do

No telemetry, no behavioural analytics, no automatic crash reporting, no account. The app does not phone home to tell us you opened it.
