FIG 6.0 — VOICE TO VAULT.

FIG 6.2 — THE GRAPH.
Visualize everything you've been talking about.
Every topic, every idea, every day, linked. A year of your own words, mapped. Obsidian required.
FIG 7.0 — SEARCH ENGINE.
Remember everything.
Filter your thoughts by app, by device, by location, even by weather. Optimized to find any thought in under 5 milliseconds, even if it's from five years ago.
Privacy
Pathologically private.
Alchemist has best-in-class privacy posture.
LocalFIG 8.1 — ON YOUR DEVICE.
Your voice goes absolutely nowhere.
Whisper, Parakeet and real-time all run on your machine. The audio never leaves it. Your history sits in a database encrypted at rest, with a key only your computer holds.
- SQLCipher, AES-256 at rest
- Key in your OS keychain
- Works with the wifi off
- Wireshark: zero packets
WI-FI
CloudFIG 8.2 — IN THE CLOUD.
Encrypted before it leaves.
Cloud is off until you turn it on. Sync is encrypted on your device and the server stores blobs it cannot read. Cleanup is anonymized through Alchemist, then routed only to providers who keep nothing.
- AES-256-GCM, end to end
- TLS 1.3 in transit
- Zero data retention providers only
AnalyticsFIG 8.3 — ZERO THIRD PARTY ANALYTICS.
Alchemist uses zero third party analytics.
The other guys ship PostHog, Sentry, TelemetryDeck, Datadog and Firebase. Alchemist ships a bug reporter that emails the founder. The other guys have a contact us page.
Achievements
ALL WORDS ARE EQUAL.
but yours are more equal than others.
Over 100 hidden achievements that show up when you least expect them. Just use the app. We'll handle the confetti.
Orwell's Farm
You dictated 30,000 words — the length of Orwell's Animal Farm. All words are equal, but yours are more equal than others.
Austen's Pride
You dictated 122,000 words — the length of Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It is a truth universally acknowledged that you talk a lot.
TED Talk
You dictated for 3 minutes without stopping. Long enough for a short-form TED Talk. Ideas worth spreading.
Look Mom, No Wifi
You turned off your wifi and Alchemist kept listening. No server. No cloud. No leaks. Just your mic, your machine, and a whole lot of "told you so."
Time Traveler
You saved 500 hours not typing. Three months of full-time work, reclaimed. You're bending time.
There and Back Again
You dictated 95,000 words — the length of Tolkien's The Hobbit. There and back again, one word at a time.
The Stenographer
From here on, every dictation writes itself to your vault the moment you finish. No button. No thought. Just a quiet, automatic scribe getting it all down forever — from your voice to your vault.
