Your voice
Yena transcribes speech using a model that runs entirely on your Mac. Audio is processed locally, in memory, and discarded the moment it becomes text. No audio, transcription, or derivative of either ever leaves your device. There is no Yena server for it to be sent to.
Accounts and analytics
The app has no accounts, no sign-in, no telemetry, no analytics, and no crash reporting that phones home. We cannot see how you use Yena, and we prefer it that way.
Network access
Yena connects to the internet in exactly two cases: downloading the speech model on first launch, and checking for app updates (a request for a small version file — appcast.xml — that contains no personal information).

Permissions Yena asks for
Microphone — to hear you while you hold Fn. Accessibility — to type the result into the app you're using. Both are granted through macOS system prompts and can be revoked any time in System Settings.
