  • Settings, licenses, and downloaded models are stored on your Mac.
  • Audio is processed locally unless you explicitly opt into a cloud provider for the feature you are using.

Why Clabrate asks.

These prompts are there because macOS protects the exact things a voice tool needs to touch: your microphone, your global shortcut, and the app where finished text should land.

Microphone

Records your voice while dictating or using voice features.

Accessibility

Types finished text into the app where your cursor is and arranges windows when you ask the assistant to manage them.

Input Monitoring

Detects the hold-to-talk shortcut globally.

Automation

Reads limited front-app context, such as browser URL, only for context-aware dictation features like transforming text for email or chat.
