Can you send that to Alex tomorrow morning?
Private by default
Your voice leaves no footprint.
Audio is streamed from memory directly to Gemini for transcription, then discarded. Quill stores no recordings or transcript history.
Open source, by design
Your keyboard.
Your key.
Your code.
Inspect it, extend it, or run your own fork. Quill’s macOS client is open source under the Apache 2.0 license with no backend required.
