We started Hiventiq because modern software increasingly asks users to trade ownership for convenience. We don't think that trade is necessary — and we're building the proof.

Every modern AI tool comes with the same implicit deal: hand us your audio, your documents, your prompts, and your work product — and in exchange, you get convenience. The cloud is fast. The model is good. The pricing is "free" (until it isn't).
But the bytes you hand over don't come back. They become training data. They become retention logs. They become whatever the next acquisition decides they should be. And the "free" tier is only free because your data subsidizes someone else's training run.
We think productivity software can be fast, good, and fairly priced without that trade. So we're building it.
Every product we build follows the same four principles:
Your inputs aren't telemetry. They aren't training data. They aren't anyone's product but yours.
You own what you produce with our tools. Forever. We don't claim license to it, ever.
If we collect anything, it's named in the privacy policy in plain language. No buried lines, no dark patterns.
You decide what AI does on your behalf. We don't auto-enroll, we don't auto-train, we don't quietly upgrade you into a new data deal.
The default assumption that everything must run in the cloud was a convenience for vendors, not for you. Your audio, your text, your work — they belong on your machine unless you choose otherwise.
Software should fit the way you already work, not force you to learn a new app. The best tool is the one you stop noticing — because it just lets the thing you wanted to do happen.
Your software runs on your machine, not a stack of servers we have to keep lit wasting water. So your price reflects what it costs to build the software and what you use.
No dark patterns, no metered freemium that secretly streams your data, no "privacy mode" that's actually a retention setting. If we make a claim, we mean it.
Today: Bzz — local voice-to-text dictation for Windows and macOS. Free trial, no credit card, no word caps.
Next: more apps that follow the same principles. We're not ready to announce them yet, but Bzz is the first proof of how we build.
We'd rather earn your trust with one product first than promise a platform we haven't shipped.
Bzz is the working proof. Try it free, no credit card, your audio stays on your machine.
