Privacy

Your recordings. Your control.

Verismo has no server and no analytics. There is exactly one situation where data leaves your machine — and you hold the key to it.

Recordings are plain .osmoproj bundles in ~/Movies/Osmo Recordings — video, mic audio, cursor log, edits. Open, back up, or delete them in Finder.
Recording, editing, rendering, and export all run on-device. The core workflow uploads nothing; only the AI actions described alongside it send data when you explicitly invoke them.
No telemetry or crash reporting. App updates are delivered by Apple through the Mac App Store.

Transcription and invoked AI actions — Refine with AI, Translate, Smart Trim, and Publish Kit — stay off until you paste your own OpenAI API key in Settings → AI. Captions use the timed transcript.
When you trigger them, narration audio (transcription) or transcript text (refine, translate, trim suggestions, Publish Kit) goes directly from your Mac to api.openai.com — there’s no middleman.
That data is then handled under OpenAI’s privacy policy, on your own OpenAI account and billing.
The key lives in a file only your user account can read, and you can remove it in Settings → AI at any time. No key, no traffic.

SCREEN RECORDINGTo capture the display you choose. macOS asks the first time.

MICROPHONE · optionalOnly if you narrate. Skip it and record silent takes.

CAMERA · optionalOnly for the webcam overlay or person cutout.

CURSOR CAPTURENo permission at all. Clicks and cursor moves come from public CoreGraphics state — the log stays in the project bundle.
