Privacy
What Voxy stores, what it never stores, and the only times it uses the network.
Voxy runs entirely on your device. This page is the short, checkable version of that claim.

What happens to your audio
Audio is held in memory only and discarded the moment the words are transcribed. It is never written to disk and never uploaded.
What happens to your words
Transcription and refining both run on your own machine. Dictation makes zero network calls.
The text of recent dictations is kept locally so Home and history can show it to you. It stays on your own machine.
The only network activity
Voxy goes online for exactly three things, none of which involve your speech:
- Model downloads you approve, the first time you pick an engine.
- A licence check, if you have a licence.
- An update check.
That is the complete list.
No account, no telemetry
- There is no sign-up.
- There is no analytics service.
- There is no crash reporter phoning home.
- There is no advertising identifier.
Usage stats
Voxy keeps local counts — words dictated, number of dictations, day streak, and which apps received text. Counts only, never the text you dictate.
They exist so the Stats page has something to show. They are stored on your own machine and are not uploaded anywhere.
Turn them off with Keep local usage stats.
Files Voxy writes
| Platform | Folder |
|---|---|
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Willow/ |
| Windows | %LOCALAPPDATA%\Voxy\ |
That folder holds your vocabulary, phrases, styles, licence cache and stats. On macOS the folder name is still Willow — the app's original name — because renaming it would orphan the settings of everyone already using it.
Your licence key is kept by the operating system's own secret store rather than in that folder: the Keychain on macOS, and DPAPI on Windows. Either way it is encrypted and tied to your user account.
Uninstalling lists everything, if you want it all gone.
