Your files stay on your Mac.

Here's exactly what happens, and the few things that do go online.

On-device

What runs where

The clever parts use frameworks Apple ships with macOS, on your Mac.

Text from images
Vision reads text in photos, screenshots and scans on your Mac.
Speech to text
Apple's on-device speech recognition transcribes recordings and meetings.
Summaries & answers
Apple Intelligence's on-device model writes summaries, notes and answers when it's turned on.
Translation
Apple's downloadable languages translate documents offline.
What goes online
Never your files. Only links you paste into Download Video or Web Page to PDF, licence activation and update checks. No analytics or tracking.
The honest list

What does go online.
