bee is built so your speech stays yours.
Audio never leaves your Mac
Dictation is transcribed entirely on-device. bee does not record, upload, or transmit your audio or transcripts to bearcove or anyone else.
What does touch the network
- Model download — on first run, bee downloads its speech model from Hugging Face. As with any download, that host sees your IP address; bee receives nothing about you.
- License validation — when you activate or check your license, your license key and a device identifier are sent to our licensing provider to confirm your purchase.
That's it: no analytics, no telemetry, no account.
The full policy ships in the app and lives at bearcove.
