Terms of Service

Effective date: April 12, 2026

Welcome to EnviousWispr. These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Envious Labs LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Envious Labs," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of the EnviousWispr desktop application for macOS (the "App") and the website at enviouswispr.com (the "Site"). By downloading, installing, or using the App or the Site, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download or use the App.

1. The App

EnviousWispr is a voice-to-text dictation application for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. The App performs speech-to-text processing on your device using Apple Silicon neural accelerators and third-party speech models. The App may provide additional features such as AI polish, dictation modes, a personal dictionary, and integrations with other apps.

We may change, add, or remove features over time. We may offer free and paid tiers. If we introduce a paid tier, we will not retroactively disable features or move features that were previously free into a paid tier for the specific version of the App you have already installed; new releases may change the set of features included in the free tier.

2. License to Use the App

Subject to these Terms, Envious Labs grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the compiled, distributed binary of the App on Apple Silicon Macs that you own or control, for your personal use or your organization's internal business use. This license covers the distributed binary only. The underlying source code of EnviousWispr is made available under a separate source-available license (see Section 3).

You may not:

3. Source Code License

The source code of EnviousWispr is published in the EnviousWispr repository on GitHub under a source-available license. The source code is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1 (the "BSL") as set out in the repository's LICENSE file. The BSL permits viewing, modifying, and non-commercial use of the source code under the terms specified in the LICENSE file; it is not an open-source license as defined by the Open Source Initiative. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the BSL with respect to the source code, the BSL controls as to the source code.

These Terms continue to govern the distributed binary of the App, the EnviousWispr brand, name, and logos, the Site, and any services we offer in connection with the App.

4. Your Content

EnviousWispr processes your speech on your device and produces text output ("Your Content"). Your Content belongs to you. Envious Labs does not collect, upload, or store your audio or your transcripts on our servers, and does not use Your Content, your audio, or your transcripts to train any machine-learning model. The App may store transcription history locally on your device as a convenience to you; you can delete that history at any time through the App's settings.

5. Privacy

The App is designed to operate without user accounts, without requiring sign-in, and without sending your speech or transcripts to our servers. The App may make limited, outbound network requests for purposes such as checking for software updates, downloading or updating on-device models, or loading content on the Site. We describe these requests and any analytics the App may emit in our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Components

The App is built on top of, and depends on, third-party frameworks and libraries, including Apple frameworks and open-source speech models. Those components are provided under their own licenses, which you can review in the App's About screen or in the source repository. You are responsible for complying with the terms of any third-party license that applies to any optional models, plugins, or components you choose to download, install, or use with the App. Envious Labs is not responsible for the performance, availability, or licensing of third-party components beyond our reasonable control.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App or the Site to:

8. Updates; Availability

We may release updates to the App from time to time. Updates may add, change, or remove features, fix bugs, or address security issues. We are not obligated to support any specific version of the App or to keep any version available indefinitely. We may discontinue the App at any time.

9. Warranty Disclaimer; AI Output Risks

THE APP, THE SITE, AND ANY RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ENVIOUS LABS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, ACCURATE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT TRANSCRIPTIONS WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.

THE APP USES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING MODELS THAT MAY PRODUCE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, BIASED, OFFENSIVE, OR NONSENSICAL TRANSCRIPTIONS OR POLISH OUTPUTS, INCLUDING "HALLUCINATED" CONTENT NOT PRESENT IN YOUR SPEECH. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING, VERIFYING, AND EDITING ALL OUTPUT BEFORE RELYING ON, FORWARDING, PUBLISHING, SUBMITTING, OR ACTING ON IT. THE APP IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE IN MEDICAL, LEGAL, FINANCIAL, REGULATORY, OR LIFE-SAFETY DICTATION OR RECORD-KEEPING, AND ENVIOUS LABS DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY SUCH USE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ENVIOUS LABS, ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP OR THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12. Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the App or the Site. You may stop using the App at any time; your license under these Terms terminates when you stop using the App. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms.
