Deezy is a bundle of Mac utility apps designed to handle the everyday tasks that shouldn't require expensive, bloated software. The current bundle includes seven tools: VoiceClean (AI dictation), Media Downloader, Media Converter, Clipboard Time Machine, Instant Edit, Pockets (desktop organizer), and SpellCheck. All tools run locally on your Mac — no cloud services required.

Deezy requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. It runs on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 and beyond) and Intel Macs. Apple Silicon is strongly recommended for VoiceClean — the AI processing is significantly faster on Apple Silicon chips.

Only for Media Downloader (obviously) and the initial one-time download of AI models during setup. After setup, VoiceClean, Media Converter, Clipboard Time Machine, Instant Edit, Pockets, and SpellCheck all work completely offline.

No. Deezy is distributed directly from deezy.app. This lets us ship updates faster, keep prices lower, and avoid App Store restrictions on certain features. The app is code-signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS will trust it without any security warnings.

Correct. $30 introductory price, once. Nothing auto-renews. Nothing gets locked. Your apps continue to work indefinitely — forever — even after your update window closes. The regular price will be $49.99 after the introductory period ends.

For 12 months from your purchase date, you receive all updates — bug fixes, performance improvements, new features, and any new tools we release. After 12 months, your apps keep working exactly as they were. You won't get new updates, but nothing breaks. We may offer a discounted renewal for those who want to stay current.

Up to 3 Macs per license. You'll receive a serial code after purchase — enter it once on each machine to activate. Need more than 3? Contact us. Install it on your desktop, laptop, and anything else you own.

No free trial currently, but we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't work for you, contact us within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full — no questions asked.

After purchase you'll receive a serial code by email. Open Deezy Mission Control, go to General settings, and enter your code to activate. Each license covers up to 3 Macs. Activation is verified locally — there's no ongoing connection to a licensing server once you're activated.

Yes. Any tool we release while your update window is active is automatically included in your purchase. You get them with a standard update — no additional payment required.

Never. VoiceClean runs OpenAI's Whisper model locally via mlx-whisper, and uses Ollama with llama3.2 for text cleanup — both running entirely on your Mac. Your audio is recorded, transcribed, and cleaned up without ever leaving your machine. There are no API calls to OpenAI or any other service.

Any microphone that macOS can see, including professional audio interfaces. If your mic shows up in macOS Sound preferences, VoiceClean can use it. You select your preferred microphone in VoiceClean's settings panel.

The AI models (Whisper and Ollama) need to load into memory the first time they're used after launch. After the first transcription, both models stay loaded and subsequent transcriptions are significantly faster. This is normal behavior for local AI — it's a one-time warmup cost per session.

Light adds punctuation and minimal formatting only — ideal if you want raw transcription with light cleanup. Medium removes filler words ("um", "uh", false starts) and fixes grammar — the recommended setting for most people. Heavy rewrites your speech for clarity and conciseness — great for formal writing, emails to clients, or anything you'd otherwise edit heavily.

Yes. VoiceClean pastes the cleaned text wherever your cursor is when you release the hotkey. It works in email clients, Slack, Notes, Notion, code editors, word processors, browsers, and anywhere else that accepts pasted text.

YouTube, Instagram, Vimeo, Spotify (redirects to YouTube Music), and over 1,000 other video and audio hosting sites. It's powered by yt-dlp, which is actively maintained and updated to handle site changes. If a site is supported by yt-dlp, Media Downloader can handle it.

This depends on your use case and jurisdiction. Downloading content for personal offline viewing is generally tolerated, but redistributing or monetizing downloaded content is not. Deezy is a tool — how you use it is your responsibility. Always respect copyright and the terms of service of the platforms you use.

For most cuts, Instant Edit uses ffmpeg's stream copy mode, which means the file is cut without re-encoding — it's fast and lossless. Some edits (particularly cuts that don't land on keyframes in video files) may require a short re-encode at the cut point, which is handled automatically.

Trimming (green handles) removes content from the beginning or end of a file — you're keeping everything between the handles. Cutting (Set In/Set Out + Delete) removes a section from the middle — you're keeping everything outside the marked region. Both operations are tracked in the edit history and can be undone before you commit.

There's no hard limit. Media Converter is designed for batch work — add as many files as you need, set your output format once, and convert everything in one pass. Performance depends on your Mac's processing power and the complexity of the conversions.

Yes, with pandoc installed. Pandoc is listed as an optional dependency in the Deezy Setup checker and can be installed automatically. Once installed, Media Converter handles PDF, DOCX, HTML, and other document formats.

A Pocket is a named, color-coded drop zone that floats on your desktop. You create them through Mission Control, place them wherever you want on screen, and drag files into them throughout your day. Think of them as labeled buckets on your desktop — Work, Screenshots, Junk, whatever makes sense for you.

No. Pockets keeps track of what you've dropped into each zone without moving the underlying files. It's a visual organization layer on top of your existing file system.

Yes. You can toggle all Pockets on and off from the menu bar, or assign a hotkey to show and hide them instantly. They stay out of your way until you need them.

Yes. SpellCheck monitors keystrokes system-wide, which includes browser text fields, search boxes, and web forms. It works anywhere you type on your Mac — native apps, Electron apps, browsers, and even Finder rename fields.

SpellCheck monitors keystrokes to detect completed words and check spelling. Password fields are automatically excluded by macOS — SpellCheck never sees what you type in password inputs. All processing happens locally on your Mac; nothing is sent anywhere.

macOS has autocorrect in some apps, but it's inconsistent — it works in some places and not others, and the correction interface is buried. SpellCheck gives you a persistent, visible correction panel that works everywhere and lets you see and act on misspellings at your own pace.

Deezy uses Homebrew to manage dependencies. Required installs include ffmpeg, Python 3, and several Python packages (Pillow, sounddevice, soundfile, numpy, mlx-whisper). Ollama and the llama3.2 model (~2GB) are installed for VoiceClean's cleanup feature. Pockets and SpellCheck run natively without additional dependencies. Optional installs include gifsicle and pandoc. The Deezy Setup window handles all of this automatically on first launch.

The Setup & Dependency Checker shows the status of each dependency individually. If something fails, you can hit Check Again after resolving the issue, or Install All to retry. You can also open Setup manually anytime from Deezy Mission Control's General settings. Contact support if you're stuck.

Yes, for hotkey detection and keystroke monitoring. VoiceClean, Clipboard Time Machine, Pockets, and SpellCheck use global hotkeys or keystroke monitoring that require Accessibility access in macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Deezy will prompt you the first time and show you exactly where to grant access.
