Tyne turns speech into text on your Mac and keeps saved notes encrypted there. On Turbo, Loom Turbo helps answer questions about your notes, documents and screen in Balanced mode. Relevant text or a selected image goes to cloud AI for those requests; Local Only keeps request content on your Mac.

Your saved notes

Everything you keep, easy to find again.

Tyne stores your notes, documents and chosen captures encrypted on your Mac. On Turbo, Balanced mode can send relevant excerpts to Loom Turbo for answers and reports. Local Only keeps new request content on your Mac.

How Tyne keeps it private

Save a thought · ⌥ Space

Keep project notes together

Say “log it” and name a project. Tyne saves the thought there. If you do not name one, it suggests a place or saves it in today’s note.

You
“Log it under Launch: send the updated plan to Priya on Thursday.”
Tyne
Saved to your Launch project. Tyne shows you where it went.

A clear save confirmation every time. Keeps project notes together · Falls back to today’s note · Shows where it saved

How it works

Everything you save
can work together.

Tyne stores your notes and documents on your Mac. In Balanced mode on Turbo, it can send relevant excerpts to Loom Turbo to answer a question or write a report. Meeting and Screen Memory capture start only when you enable them.

See how it works

Speak it. It lands in your notes.

Tyne grows out of the notch at the top of your screen. Talk, choose what to do with it, and it’s saved to your encrypted Vault — with your other thoughts, documents and chosen meeting notes.

  • Raw audio stays on your Mac
  • Saved files are encrypted on your Mac
  • Loom Turbo can process selected context in Balanced mode

Dictate

Fn
Hold Fn and speak naturally. Tyne transcribes your voice and cleans up filler words on your Mac, then places the finished text at your cursor.

Ask Tyne

⌥ Space
Save a thought or ask about something you captured. On Turbo in Balanced mode, Loom Turbo answers from selected note or document excerpts in a fraction of a second.

Speak to Prompt

⌥ ⇧ Space
Describe a coding task out loud. Tyne adds useful project notes to a prompt you can give your coding assistant.

Documents & Meetings

Atlas. Study and think with your own documents.

Add documents to Atlas and Tyne files them by subject. Ask a subject a question and the answer points to its source page — then turn it into study notes, a revision sheet or a summary. On Turbo in Balanced mode, selected passages can go to Loom Turbo for an answer or report.

Privacy

Know when Tyne
uses the cloud.

Raw audio and your full vault stay on your Mac. Turbo uses Balanced mode by default, so Loom Turbo can process relevant note, document, meeting or screen content for supported requests. Switch to Local Only before a new request to keep that content on your Mac.

How Tyne protects your dataPrivacy details

Your voice stays on your Mac.

Raw audio is transcribed on your Mac and is never uploaded.

Your vault is encrypted.

Notes, documents and chosen captures are stored encrypted on your Mac.

The cloud only when you’re on Turbo.

Balanced mode can send relevant text or a selected image to Loom Turbo. Local Only keeps it on your Mac.

Private web search

Search the web.
Keep your notes to yourself.

When you need something current, Ask Tyne looks it up with Brave Search. Your Mac turns your question into a short public query first, so your notes, project names and the people in them never go with it. The answer comes back with its sources, clearly marked as from the web.

See what leaves your Mac

Only when you need it.

Ask Tyne searches the web for live questions, or when you say “search the web” — on Turbo in Balanced mode. Local Only never searches.

A public question, nothing more.

Your Mac rewrites what you asked into a short public query. Notes, names and project details stay out. If Tyne can’t separate them safely, it asks you to rephrase.

An independent index.

Results come from Brave Search’s own index, not Google or Bing. Brave says its API doesn’t collect identifiers that link a query to you.

Every claim has a source.

Answers cite the Brave results they came from and are marked as from the web, not your documents. Anything unsupported is shown as unverified.

Tyne’s gateway doesn’t store query or answer content. The public query is processed by Brave Search, and by Cerebras to write the answer. Brave keeps Search API query logs for up to 90 days under its privacy notice. Web results aren’t added to your Vault as memory; the reply stays in your chat history on your Mac.
