An assistant that learns your voice only works if you can trust where that learning lives. Cue’s answer: on your Mac, in a database you can see, behind switches you control. Here is the whole picture.
The master switch for everything Cue learns from your sent messages. Off means sent text is never stored or analysed, and you can exclude specific apps (a personal messenger, a password manager) while leaving it on elsewhere.
Facts and promises Cue notices show up in a review list. You accept or dismiss. The only automatic case is a promise quoting your own words near-verbatim, and it arrives with an Undo.
Drafts show up in a review card before anything touches your field. And Cue never sends a message. There is no auto-send code path at all.
So answers use what's actually on screen, Cue sends a screenshot with screen questions by default. Turn it off in Settings and Cue works from accessible text only. Screenshots are never kept after the reply.
Security posture: the app talks only to our backend over TLS; model-provider keys are held server-side and never ship in the app. Sign-in is handled by Clerk, payments by Stripe. We never see your password or card number. Accessibility access is used to read the field you invoke Cue in and to type the reply back; what it reads is used for that request and not stored.
What actually happens when you hold the key, in order, with nothing left out.
Nothing leaves your Mac until you tap, double-tap, or hold the key. Idle means silent.
Only the moment's text or audio goes, encrypted, through our proxy, and in a live conversation, your voice streams to our cloud voice provider only while the conversation you started is open. Keys stay server-side.
The reply streams straight back into the field your cursor is already in.
The request is processed and discarded. No server-side history of it exists.
There is no history of your drafts, screens, or messages to leak, because we never keep one. Not encrypted, not anonymized, not retained for a while. Nonexistent.
