Privacy policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026

Jimaky is a macOS app developed by Kei Oikawa in Lisbon, Portugal.

Audio, captions, and translation

Speech recognition and supported translation run on your Mac. Jimaky does not send your audio or caption text to the developer or to a speech or translation service. The app does not record audio to a file or automatically save caption history. Caption text is held in memory while you use the app; stopping normally clears it. If a trial expires during a session, existing captions remain available to copy until you clear them or quit.

When you choose Copy, text is placed on the macOS clipboard. Other apps, clipboard managers, and system clipboard features may then handle it according to your settings.

Downloads and purchases

Jimaky downloads speech and voice-color model files from Hugging Face over HTTPS. These requests expose ordinary connection information, such as your IP address and the requested files, to the hosting providers. Apple manages translation language-pack downloads and App Store purchases. These services have their own privacy policies. Model files stay on your Mac for later use.

Apple processes payments. Jimaky uses verified App Store transaction information on your Mac to determine trial dates and whether the app is unlocked. The developer does not receive your payment card details through Jimaky.

Preferences and permissions

Appearance, audio-source choices, translation preferences, and window positions are stored locally. System audio access is used only for captioning Mac sound. Microphone access is requested when you choose Mic or Both. You can change permissions in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Analytics and accounts

Jimaky has no developer-operated account system, advertising, analytics, or tracking SDK. The developer does not collect audio or caption history through the app. macOS may retain technical diagnostic logs; Apple may provide diagnostics according to your system sharing settings.

Website and support

Hosting providers process ordinary connection information when you visit jimaky.app. The landing page loads fonts from Google Fonts, which also receives connection information. If you email support, the email provider and developer receive your message and any information you include. Please avoid sending private audio or transcripts unless needed and agreed.

Contact and changes

For privacy questions, contact support@jimaky.app. Support correspondence is used to answer your request and retained only as needed for support and applicable obligations. You can request its deletion. We will update this page if Jimaky’s data handling changes.
