The waitlist
You join the waitlist by signing in with Google, which makes your account (the next section says what we keep). While Tofucut is in closed beta, we let accounts in by hand, and the download opens for yours when it is let in. We may write to your account's email address about your place in the beta, and for nothing else. To leave the waitlist, write to [email protected] and we delete the account.
Your account
To use the app you sign in with Google on this website. From Google we receive your name, your email address and your Google account's identifier and the address of your profile picture, and nothing else: we cannot read anything in your Google account. We keep them with your plan, the names of the Macs you signed in on and the dates. If you subscribe, the payment is taken by Paddle, our reseller and the seller of record, which keeps your payment details and sends your receipts; we receive the state of your subscription, never your card. The checkout is Paddle's own, shown over our page. On the Tofucut plan we also keep, for each AI or transcription request, when it happened and how much it used, so the monthly allowance can be counted. We never keep what a request contained. To delete your account, write to [email protected].
This website
tofucut.com sets no tracking cookies and runs no advertising scripts. When you sign in, it sets one cookie that keeps you signed in for 30 days. The sign-in pages load Google's sign-in button from Google, and the plan's page loads the checkout from Paddle; no other page loads anything from another company.
The Mac app
Your recordings are files on your Mac, in your Movies folder, and they stay there: Tofucut never uploads a recording and never modifies the files it recorded. The AI steps you turn on send what they need to the AI you chose: your voice audio to the transcription service (ElevenLabs), and the transcript with some still frames from the recording to the AI. The app asks before the first upload to each service. On the free plan the AI is the one you connected (Claude, ChatGPT or your own server, through your own account). The Tofucut plan is coming; when it opens, the same things will go through Tofucut's server to the AI we run for you, and we will update this page first.

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to [email protected] and we will answer.
