The simple boundary
There are two separate promises: what happens on local plans, and what changes if you choose the optional Cloud tier.
What happens when you record
This is the short technical version your IT reviewer can inspect.
Before you install
Local AI avoids cloud upload, but it does need local resources. We keep that expectation clear.
Modern Windows laptop
Windows 10 or 11 with 8 GB RAM minimum. A GPU helps but is not required.
One-time model download
Expect roughly 250 MB to 3 GB depending on the transcription and summary quality mode you choose.
Minutes, not seconds
A long meeting can take a few minutes to process locally. The tradeoff is slower than cloud, safer by design.
Exports stay in your control
You can export notes to PDF or Markdown and decide where those files go.
Questions for IT or compliance
Use this page as a starting point for review. A formal security brief can be provided when the public download is ready.
Can network traffic be inspected?
Yes. A reviewer can monitor the Scribwolf process and confirm local recording does not upload audio to transcription services on Free or Pro.
Can I use the Cloud tier for regulated work?
Use caution. Cloud sync can contain sensitive transcript text. For HIPAA-style or privileged conversations, Pro is the safer default.
