SAFIY-AGENT FOR MAC
Privacy, in plain language.
Last updated: November 10, 2026
Safiy is designed to keep meeting audio and files on your Mac. There is no Safiy account or Safiy server that receives your recordings. Some optional features do contact services you choose, as described below.
Recordings and transcripts
Audio recordings, transcripts, AI notes, and Knowledge Bank files are stored in Safiy’s local app data on your Mac. Speech recognition runs on your Mac using the model you select. Safiy does not upload meeting audio to a Safiy server for transcription.
AI notes and chat
AI notes and the live assistant use the AI connection you configure. To answer a question or prepare notes, Safiy sends the required text to that provider. This may include the transcript, your prompt, excerpts from a selected Knowledge Bank, and—if screen awareness is enabled and you ask a question—a screen image.
If you use a cloud provider, that provider receives and processes the information under its own terms and privacy policy. If you connect to a local model, processing can remain on your Mac or local network. You can turn Knowledge Bank use and screen awareness off in Safiy.
Other network connections
- Speech models: Safiy may download selected models from their hosting service. Model files can be large; this does not send meeting audio.
- App updates: Safiy checks its public GitHub release feeds when update checking is enabled. Feed addresses and update files are hosted in the public Safiy release repository.
- AI provider: The provider you choose receives the content needed for AI notes and answers, as explained above.
macOS permissions
Safiy may request Microphone, Screen & System Audio Recording, or Accessibility access for the recording and meeting features you use. Permission is managed by macOS, and you can revoke it in System Settings.
Questions or changes
For questions, use the public Safiy support issue tracker. Posts are visible publicly; please do not include recordings, transcripts, API keys, or other sensitive information. If this policy changes, the updated version and date will appear here.
