Question 1

Does Voxlit send my audio anywhere?

Accepted Answer

In Cloud mode (the default), audio is sent to Voxlit Cloud for transcription and Agent processing. In Local mode, everything stays on your Mac. You choose. Either way, Voxlit never stores your recordings, never runs telemetry, and never sells data. The code is MIT licensed and fully auditable on GitHub.

Question 2

What are the system requirements for Voxlit?

Accepted Answer

macOS 13 Ventura or later. Works on Apple Silicon and Intel, but M-series Macs deliver the best performance thanks to the Neural Engine and Metal GPU acceleration.

Question 3

How do I install Voxlit on my Mac?

Accepted Answer

Fastest path: run 'curl -fsSL https://voxlit.co/install.sh | bash' in Terminal. Alternatives: 'brew install --cask voxlit' after tapping the Homebrew repository, or download the signed .dmg from GitHub Releases.

Question 4

Which Mac apps does Voxlit work with?

Accepted Answer

If you can type in it, you can dictate into it. Notion, Slack, Cursor, VS Code, Terminal, iTerm, Ghostty, Mail, Gmail, iMessage, Discord, Linear, and any other native or Electron app that accepts keyboard input. Voxlit uses the macOS Accessibility API.

Question 5

How accurate is Voxlit's transcription?

Accepted Answer

On an M-series Mac with the default base model, accuracy is strong for everyday messages, emails, and AI prompts. For long-form writing or technical jargon, download the small, medium, or large whisper model from Settings. All are offline and free.

Question 6

Is Voxlit really free forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Voxlit is MIT licensed, which means even if the maintainer disappears tomorrow, every existing copy keeps working and anyone can fork the repo. No paid tier, no freemium gate, no hidden subscription.

Question 7

What is Voxlit Agent?

Accepted Answer

Voxlit Agent is a voice-to-action feature built into v2. Say 'Hey Voxlit' before a command and the AI executes your intent instead of just transcribing your words. Write emails, fix code, optimize prompts, draft commit messages, translate text, all by voice. Powered by GPT-4o-mini through Voxlit Cloud. Free during beta.

Question 8

What can I do with Voxlit Agent?

Accepted Answer

Over 25 categories including: write or reply to emails, explain errors, generate code, optimize prompts, summarize text, translate between languages, write commit messages, draft PR descriptions, create bug reports, compare tools, and more. Output is paste-ready and lands directly in your focused app.

Question 9

Does Voxlit's cloud mode compromise my privacy?

Accepted Answer

Cloud mode sends audio to Voxlit Cloud for transcription and Agent processing. Local mode keeps everything on-device. You choose which mode to use in Settings, and you can switch anytime.

Question 10

Why does macOS ask for permissions when I install Voxlit?

Accepted Answer

Two permissions, both essential. Microphone, so Voxlit can hear you. Accessibility, so it can type the result into your focused app. The onboarding wizard guides you through granting both.

Question 11

Who built Voxlit and why should I trust it?

Accepted Answer

Voxlit is built by Eager HQ and developed in the open at github.com/rajdeepchaudhari-work/voxlit. Every commit is signed. Every release ships with checksums and an SBOM. CodeQL and OpenSSF Scorecard run on every push. You do not have to trust us. You can trust the code, because the code is open.
