Policies can change. Physics cannot. Geode is built so that we cannot access your recordings or transcripts. There is no technical pathway for your content to leave your device — even during confidential transcription or advanced AI processing.
Privacy is not a feature. It’s the infrastructure.
Most AI assistants process audio on external servers. Geode performs offline transcription and AI analysis directly on your Mac — no internet required, no remote processing, and no external dependency.

Your life is not our training data.
All intelligence runs locally on your Mac.
Audio, transcripts, and summaries are processed and stored locally on your device through offline transcription and on-device AI. We do not receive your recordings or transcripts, and they are not used to train any cloud-based model. Geode is designed to be cloud-free, ensuring your content never leaves your device.
Eliminate the target.
Even the most secure cloud account is vulnerable to leaked credentials or unforeseen software bugs. By keeping all processing offline and cloud-free, Geode eliminates entire classes of cloud-related risks and significantly reduces the surface area for no data leakage scenarios.
Identity separated from data.
We use your Apple ID only for purchase and license verification. There are no Geode dashboards or cloud sync — your content stays stored and processed on your device, under your control. This design helps support privacy-sensitive and regulated workflows, including HIPAA-oriented environments.
Because Geode performs AI processing locally and keeps your recordings and transcripts on your device, you retain control over your data — whether you’re creating interview transcripts or maintaining long-term archives.
Designed for sensitive scenarios such as doctor–patient conversation documentation. Since all transcription and summarization happen on your Mac, Geode supports HIPAA compliant transcription workflows and fits naturally into privacy-first medical and therapeutic environments.
Trusted by professionals handling privileged information. From legal discussions to sales call analysis, you retain full ownership of every recording and transcript. No third party ever accesses your data.
We cannot disclose what we do not possess. Because Geode never stores your audio or text, there is nothing for us to hand over — ever.
