Work that stays on the Mac
- Transcription with installed local speech models.
- AI documents, titles, tags, Edit Plans and timed-text changes with the selected local model.
- Exact search and meaning-based passage search.
- Translation with the selected local model.
- Conversion, cuts, audio cleanup, speed changes, subtitle rendering and audiograms.
- Library indexing and file storage.
Requests that use the network
- Fetching a supported web link you add.
- Downloading or repairing requested transcription models, AI models and media engines.
- Checking the signed update feed in a verified public build.
What works offline
Already-imported media can be processed after its required models and engines are installed. A web link cannot be fetched offline, a missing dependency cannot download and an update check cannot complete.
Local assistant connections keep a permission boundary
When the connector is enabled, a supported local assistant can use only the grants you choose. The app remains the writer of Library files and the connector does not expose them as a remote cloud Library.
