Needs the internet
- Activation, the first time you sign in on a Mac.
- The licence check-in, about once a day. See When the licence check-in is due.
- Downloading the voice, speech and AI components, once. They are stored on your Mac afterwards, so later sessions don't need the connection.
- Online AI services, only if you choose one.
Your projects and media stay on your Mac and are never uploaded to us.
Going somewhere without internet? Open the app while you are still online, so the 3 days start fresh from that check-in.
