Local-first transcription
Dettivo runs WhisperKit on your Mac’s Neural Engine. Your client’s words are transcribed entirely on-device. No cloud upload, no third-party transcription service.
→ Local transcription
§ For privacy-required professionalsAll use cases
Client conversations stay
on your Mac. Not in someone’s cloud.
Lawyers, therapists, doctors, financial advisors — anyone whose conversations are governed by attorney-client privilege, HIPAA, or similar. Dettivo captures and transcribes every session locally on your Mac. No cloud upload, no meeting bot guest, no third-party processor.

§ The current circuit
The compliance problem with most tools
Otter sends a bot guest into your meeting and uploads audio to its cloud. Granola is bot-free but still cloud-processed. macOS native dictation is barely useful and not built for client work. The compliance team rejected each one in the last review.
§ How Dettivo fits
II
No meeting bot
Dettivo records system audio plus your microphone locally. No second guest joins your call. The session log shows you and your client. Period.
→ Bot-free meetings
III
Disclosure built in
Recording indicator is always visible while capture is active. First meeting prompts an explicit disclosure acknowledgment. Per-meeting destructive delete in the session menu.
→ Recording UX
IV
You control retention
Auto-delete by age. Per-meeting destructive delete. Export to your encrypted client folder. Every artifact path shown in the clear.
→ Retention controls
V
No telemetry
Dettivo collects no usage analytics. Our servers see your license key, device IDs, and email — nothing about what you transcribe or who you meet.
→ Privacy policy
VI
Mirror to your encrypted folder
Auto-export every meeting bundle (transcript + notes + details) into a folder you pick — including encrypted client-matter directories on your Mac.
→ Meeting Mirror
Your privilege survives because every conversation stayed local. So should the tool that records it.
