Is a voice assistant private? What stays on your Mac

By Time Hackers Lab · Published 2026-10-16

It depends on the assistant, so ask what leaves your computer. With Parviz, your voice is turned into text on your Mac and no recording is uploaded. Your files stay on your computer. The words of the task go to your AI provider, as if you had typed them.

Three questions to ask any voice assistant

Is my voice recorded and uploaded? Where do my files go? What does it see on my screen, and when? A trustworthy product answers all three in plain words, on its own site.

What Parviz answers

Voice: turned into text on your Mac, with no recording uploaded. Files: they stay on your computer. Screen: one screenshot when you finish speaking, the latest twenty kept and older ones deleted, looked at only when your words are about the screen. In the beta, pointing at something sends that one screenshot to a cloud service, and a version that stays on your Mac is being tested.

Can you check it?

Yes. The code is open to read, so you or a developer friend can check it before you run it. It also asks before it deletes, sends, publishes, spends or changes settings.
