Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

Saransh is a local-first macOS application operated byKitto Byte, a California corporation (“Kitto Byte,” “we,” “us”). This policy describes what data the app handles on your device.

What stays on your Mac

• Voice recordings and transcripts are processed locally using on-device models.
• Notes are stored in a local SQLite database at ~/Library/Application Support/Saransh/notes.db.
• API keys and license keys are stored in the macOS Keychain under com.kittobyte.saransh.
• If you enable calendar meeting prompts, Saransh reads event titles and start times from macOS Calendar via EventKit on your device to show Start/Skip prompts. Calendar data is not uploaded to Kitto Byte.
• If you enable Capture meeting audio, Saransh mixes microphone and system audio on-device for Conversations. Screen frames are not stored.
• If you enable local MCP for agents, Cursor or Claude Desktop may spawn Saransh --mcp over stdio on this Mac for read-only access to Conversations. Traffic stays on your machine; Kitto Byte does not host it.
• If you choose Ollama, LM Studio, or Apple Intelligence, AI formatting and enhance requests stay local (or on your local server) and are not sent to Kitto Byte.

What may leave your Mac

• If you enable AI notes or dictation formatting with a cloud provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini), transcript text is sent to that provider using your API key.
• License activation and validation contact Lemon Squeezy to verify purchase keys.
• The Whisper speech model is downloaded from its upstream source on first launch.

Permissions

• Microphone — required for dictation and conversation capture.
• Accessibility — required for global shortcuts and pasting into the focused app.
• Calendar — optional; requested only if you enable meeting prompts in Settings.
• Notifications — optional; used with meeting prompts so you can Start or Skip at meeting time.
• Screen & System Audio Recording — optional; requested only if you enable Capture meeting audio. Saransh uses system audio for Conversations and does not store screen video.

What we do not collect

Saransh does not operate a Kitto Byte-hosted cloud archive of your notes, transcripts, recordings, or calendar events.
