Privacy and permissions

Where your data goes

Only to the AI you pick. Aris has no server of its own, your API keys stay in the macOS Keychain, and with Ollama or LM Studio nothing leaves your Mac. Anything that sends, writes or deletes waits for your yes.

What it asks permission for

The microphone, only while you hold the shortcut. Accessibility, to act in your apps. Screen Recording, when you ask about something on screen. Calendars and Reminders, for your day and your to-dos. macOS asks you for each, and you can turn any off in System Settings.
