Per-app profiles

The same sentence should not come out the same way everywhere. A commit message is not a Slack reply, and neither is a shell command. Per-app profiles let VoxFlow pick the output mode from whatever application has focus when you release the hotkey.

Profiles live in Settings → Per-App Profiles.

Output modes

Mode	What it does
Balanced	The default. Light cleanup, sentence case, ordinary punctuation.
Plain text	No formatting characters at all.
Markdown	Allows Markdown structure — lists, emphasis, headings.
Email	A more formal register, suited to correspondence.
Casual	Keeps contractions and a conversational tone.
Terminal-safe	Avoids characters that would misbehave when pasted into a shell.
Code-preserve	Leaves identifiers, casing, and symbols alone.

A sensible starting set is Code-preserve in your editor, Terminal-safe in your terminal, Markdown in your notes app, Email in your mail client, and Casual in chat.

Keeping an app off the cloud

Each profile also has Disable cloud for this app. With it on, dictation in that app is routed to the cheapest tier instead of the accurate cloud model. It is the right setting for a terminal, where what you say is often infrastructure detail you would rather not send anywhere.

Transcription itself is already local — see Architecture. This switch governs the rewrite pass and model routing.

How a profile is chosen

VoxFlow reads the bundle identifier of the frontmost application at the moment you release the hotkey. If a profile matches that identifier, its mode is used; otherwise the global mode applies.

Note that this is separate from the sensitive app blocklist in Settings → Privacy, which stops dictation in password managers outright rather than changing how it is formatted.
