Frequently asked questions

A private AI workspace for the Mac: chat, dictation into any app, meeting notes, and a local agent in one desktop app. Built by OpenSoftware, open source, free to start.

Yes. The Hobby plan is free and includes dictation, meeting notes, and light agent usage. Pro is $20 per month for more usage, extended agent sessions, all models, and scheduled routines.

macOS 14 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows has not shipped yet.

Yes, MIT licensed, including the backend. The code is on GitHub.

Partially. Your notes, transcripts, and files live on your Mac and stay readable offline. Model calls need the internet, so dictation, note generation, and the agent do not work without it.

No. OpenSoftware never trains on your data, and model calls route to zero-retention Venice models by default. Anonymized third-party models are opt-in and labeled; providers on that tier may retain what they receive.

Account, login, and billing records. Recordings, transcripts, notes, and agent files are stored on your Mac, not our servers. The exception is anything you deliberately send us, like an issue report.

Yes. Prompts and audio leave for model inference, routed to zero-retention models by default, where nothing is stored or trained on. Your files, history, and agent state stay on your device.

The backend runs in a TEE and serves its own cryptographic attestation at opensoftware.co/verify. The code is open source, so what we run is what you can read.

Sessions are sandboxed by default: writes are blocked outside the agent's workspace, and secrets like SSH keys are on a denylist. Risky actions ask for approval first. The agent can make mistakes; the guardrails assume it will.

To the June API, June's backend, and from there to the model provider. By default that provider is Venice, under zero-retention terms: nothing stored, nothing trained on.

A privacy-focused inference provider and June's default. Calls on the Private tier carry contract-enforced zero data retention; the details are on Venice's privacy page.

The June API runs inside a trusted execution environment, a confidential VM that cryptographically attests to exactly what code it is running. It holds the provider keys and strips identifying metadata from requests, and you can check the live attestation at opensoftware.co/verify.

Yes, if you choose them. The catalog includes OpenAI and Claude models on the Anonymous tier, routed through Venice, and you can opt into OpenAI transcription models, routed from the TEE with the June API as the anonymization layer. Identifying metadata is stripped either way, and Anonymous-tier providers may retain what they receive.

Private is the default: zero retention, contract-enforced. Anonymous models are opt-in, and those providers may retain what they receive. E2EE encrypts your prompt on your Mac, so it is decrypted only inside the enclave that runs the model.

No. June records from your Mac, so nothing joins the call and nothing appears in the participant list. When it detects a supported meeting, it offers to write the notes.

Hold the fn key, talk, let go. June types the cleaned-up text wherever your cursor is, in any app, with standard, casual lowercase, and formal styles. There is a hands-free toggle for longer stretches.

Research, reports, scheduled routines, and questions over your notes and meetings. It runs on your Mac, built on the open-source Hermes framework, and you can extend it with skills and toolsets in the app.

Zero-retention Venice models by default, with a catalog you can pick from. Every model in the picker shows its privacy tier: E2EE, Private, or Anonymous.

Yes. Set your own Venice API key in settings and June routes your model calls with it instead of metering them through your balance.
