Both downloads are universal: the same app runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Your speech and text stay on your Mac.
About 2.4 GB
The simplest setup. Speech recognition and local writing models are included, so the app is ready for fully offline use after installation.
About 70 MB, plus models you choose
Install the compact app first, then choose exactly what to download. Speak Easy Privately — Lite never downloads a model until you explicitly click Download.
Coming soon · one-click installation and updates
This is the full version of Speak Easy Privately. It keeps the same on-device processing and App Sandbox protections. Before it becomes available, Apple reviews the app and its store information for compliance with the Mac App Store Review Guidelines.
A familiar Apple-managed installation, trusted store listing, and automatic delivery of future updates. The edition appears in the store only after Apple approves it through App Review.
Mac App Store rules limit global keyboard monitoring and control of other apps. The changes below are deliberate compliance trade-offs—not accidentally missing features.
For the fastest workflow—including a single-key shortcut and optional automatic paste—choose one of the direct downloads above. Those builds are also sandboxed, Developer ID signed, submitted to Apple’s notarization service, stapled, and checked by Gatekeeper. Notarization is distinct from the full App Review process, but it lets macOS verify the developer identity and notarization ticket when you open the app.
Public downloads are released only after Developer ID signing, Apple notarization, ticket stapling, and Gatekeeper validation.
