Introducing Vibe: Privacy-First Voice Transcription for Mac
Meet Vibe, the native Mac app that transcribes your voice locally without sending data to the cloud. Learn why we built it and how it protects your privacy.
Welcome to Vibe
We’re excited to introduce Vibe, a privacy-first voice transcription app built specifically for Mac users who value their data security and want the convenience of local processing.
Why We Built Vibe
In today’s world, most voice transcription services send your audio to the cloud for processing. While this approach can be convenient, it comes with significant privacy concerns:
- Your private conversations are processed on remote servers
- Your data might be stored or analyzed without your explicit knowledge
- You need an internet connection to transcribe audio
- Third parties may have access to your sensitive information
Vibe solves these problems by doing everything locally on your Mac.
