DM Read Aloud Privacy Policy

Effective September 23, 2026.

DM Read Aloud is a Mac app by Dependent Media that reads text aloud using the speech voices built into macOS.

What the app collects

Nothing. DM Read Aloud has no account, makes no network connections, and contains no analytics or advertising.

What stays on your Mac

The text the app reads — replies handed to it by Claude Code, text you paste, or files you open — is stored only in the app’s own history on your Mac, so you can listen again. You can delete any entry or clear the history from the app’s settings. The app never sends this text anywhere.

If you set up the Claude Code hook, the app writes a small script and its hook settings into your ~/.claude folder, with your permission, so that Claude Code can hand it replies. It reads nothing else from that folder.

Speech

Speech is produced by macOS on your Mac. No audio or text is sent to Dependent Media or to any third party.
