Trust by architecture,
not just by policy.

Most productivity and cloud-based tools ask you to trust a written privacy policy document. DaySpire is engineered so that your sensitive business data stays strictly localized on your Mac. We don't have server-side access to your work.

1. What Stays Local

All raw information and core intellectual property stay inside your macOS user directories under a highly secure, locally encrypted database. The following are never transmitted off your machine:

  • Audio Recordings & Transcripts: Meeting voice recordings and their corresponding on-device text transcripts.
  • Intelligent Local Index: Search mapping that organizes notes, transcript segments, and files securely on-device.
  • Visual Text Captures: Screen captures added explicitly by you as billing evidence are indexed purely on-device.
  • Project memory: Links between calendar tasks, notes, documents, and client timelines.

2. What May Contact the Internet

DaySpire is a local-first application, but it requires standard, transparent external hooks for maintenance, asset delivery, and optional billing logs:

  • Model Downloads during Setup: High-performance speech-to-text models and localized language models are fetched directly into local assets from verified repositories.
  • App Update Checks: Querying public release manifests to ensure your local macOS binaries stay secure.
  • Product license Activation: The app checks your generated license keys against our isolated dashboard endpoint to verify legitimacy.
  • Opt-In Diagnostics: Crash metadata or core process limits can be shared purely under an opt-in basis, containing no transcripts or file content.

3. macOS System Permissions

DaySpire operates under strict macOS security sandboxes, requesting standard system-level permissions strictly for execution:

🎙️ Microphone Access

Used solely to record voice meetings locally on demand. We support manual, user-initiated toggle states with clear, glowing review indicators.

📅 Calendar Integration (EventKit)

Reads local calendar descriptions to automatically link meetings to target client tags, resolving timeline gaps.

📂 Local Filesystem Access

Allows reading PDF, DOCX, and markdown files which you explicitly drag into the client as project evidence.

4. Absolute Data Portability

Your work is yours. DaySpire enforces complete local sovereignty over database records. At any point, you can instantly export full timecards and audit logs as standard CSV, XLSX, or raw JSON files. Alternatively, wipe the entire application and delete downloaded models via a single command inside client settings.
