FAQ
Does LocalFlow replace my keyboard?
No. Keep your current keyboard and its language settings. LocalFlow adds a floating voice button alongside it; it is not a custom keyboard.
Can I use it without an internet connection?
Yes, after downloading a speech model. Recognition and saved text history run locally. You need an internet connection to download model files, and the download host receives ordinary request metadata.
Why is Accessibility permission optional?
It lets LocalFlow check the focused editor locally and insert text you approve into a supported, unchanged field. Without it, you can still dictate and explicitly copy the result. Some editors do not support insertion. Read how this access works.
Which Android phones are supported?
The phone build targets ARM64 devices running Android 8 or newer. Model performance depends on your phone and available memory. Compatibility and performance on individual phone models still require physical-device testing.
What happens to my voice notes?
LocalFlow saves your latest 10 approved text notes by default, with the model and timestamp. It does not keep microphone recordings as a history. Change retention, turn future saving off, or delete notes in the app. Turning saving off does not delete existing notes.
