Clovy (formerly June)

Clovy is an open-source Mac AI workspace for chat, dictation, meeting notes, image generation, and local agent work. It was previously named June.

The current repository describes a Tauri desktop app plus Clovy API. The project says notes, recordings, transcripts, files, sessions, and agent memory stay on the Mac by default, while model calls use Clovy API and selected upstream providers. It describes private Venice routes as the default and labels other model choices by privacy tier. Use this as a first read, not a recommendation. Open the original project before trusting details like terms, limits, privacy, cost, setup, or safety.

What it is

Desktop assistant for spoken work

Clovy brings chat, meeting recording, editable notes, dictation cleanup, image generation, and local agent sessions into one desktop app rather than leaving those steps in separate tools.

Why it stands out

Voice, notes, chat, and agent work share one app

Saved audio can be retried, notes stay editable, dictation can return to another app, and the local agent can help with files, research, and drafts. The project describes approval gates for agent actions; check exactly which actions are covered before granting access.

Availability

Public source and signed Mac releases

The public repository contains the desktop app and Clovy API source under the MIT license. The project publishes signed, notarized Mac releases and documents how its production API image and confidential-computing attestation can be checked.

Why it matters

What makes it useful

Clovy is practical when a meeting, a dictated note, a chat, and the follow-up file work belong together. It keeps saved audio for retry, editable notes, paste-back dictation, and local agent sessions in the same workspace.

Notable points

What stands out

The current README lists chat, meeting recording without a call bot, microphone plus system audio, dictation, image generation, model choice, a local agent with project-described approval gates, local app data, Clovy API, provider privacy tiers, signed releases, and source-linked verification evidence.

Before using

What to review

Platform fit: macOS 14 or later is the supported download path. The README says Windows builds omit global dictation paste, system-audio capture, and the macOS sandbox.

Data flow: app state, recordings, transcripts, files, sessions, and agent memory are described as local by default, but transcription, prompts, context, and generation requests can leave through Clovy API and upstream model routes.

Verification limits: the `/verify` page and attestation chain speak to the backend code running in a confidential VM, not to what every upstream model provider does with data.

Permissions: microphone, accessibility, screen/system audio recording on macOS, and file access for agent workflows should match the task before relying on it.

Agent controls: check which file, shell, network, connected-service, and external actions require approval, and what broader-access mode changes, before granting access to sensitive work.

Setup boundaries: review model privacy tiers, account and billing records, provider terms, release signatures, and the current source before using it for sensitive work.

Reader fit

Who may find it relevant

Mac users who want chat, meeting audio, cleaned dictation, editable notes, image generation, and follow-up drafts in one app.

Builders comparing local-first desktop AI assistants that combine voice capture, notes, model choice, and project-described agent approval gates.

Readers interested in how a desktop AI app separates local state, server-side provider keys, backend attestation, and upstream model-provider behavior.

Less relevant for readers who want a fully offline assistant, a no-setup consumer recorder, or only a standalone agent runtime without voice and note workflows.

Editorial note

Why LifeHubber lists it

Clovy keeps spoken work, editable notes, chat, and agent help in one Mac workspace. Its local storage and public verification evidence are useful, but readers still need to check which model provider receives each request.

Before relying on this entry

LifeHubber lists entries to help readers inspect AI projects, not to endorse them or prove they are safe, suitable, accurate, maintained, or right for a specific use.

What to explore next

Decide whether you need a full workspace or focused meeting notes.

Clovy combines chat, dictation, meetings, images, and agent work. Continue with a narrower meeting assistant, or compare the wider voice and meeting landscape.
