Frequently asked questions
Is dooze free?
There is a free Starter tier with daily limits. Lite and Heavy tiers unlock more models and higher usage. See Models & tiers.
Does dooze send my data to a server?
Your messages are sent to AI providers to generate responses. The dooze server routes these requests but does not store them. All local data stays on your Mac. See Privacy.
Can I use dooze offline?
Voice transcription works offline — WhisperKit runs locally on your Mac. AI responses require an internet connection.
What models does dooze support?
21+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI. The available models depend on your subscription tier.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Go to Settings > Account > Manage Subscription. This opens the Stripe billing portal.
Does dooze work with my app?
dooze works with any macOS app through the Accessibility API. Some web editors like Gmail and Notion work best with the browser extension installed.
Why does dooze need Accessibility permission?
To read text you select in other apps and to insert polished or summarized text back into those apps. See Permissions.
Can I delete all my data?
Yes. All data is stored locally. Delete the app, or remove the data folder at ~/Library/Application Support/app.dooze.client/.
