Cruxwing is a macOS meeting co-pilot. It transcribes your meetings on your own Mac, surfaces the question worth asking while the call is still live, and writes what was decided into a searchable decision ledger. Connecting Google is optional — the app works fully without it — and each permission is used for one narrow purpose:

The permissions, one by one

Each is a separate switch in Settings. Turning one off excludes it from the grant itself, so the app is not merely declining to use it — it cannot.

• calendar.readonly — Calendar, read-only — read the event you are in now, so the meeting is named and its agenda and attendees inform the co-pilot.
• forms.body.readonly, forms.responses.readonly — Forms, read-only — read a Google Form you connect: its questions, and the responses people submitted, so the co-pilot can ground a point like “most respondents chose monthly” in the actual answers. It reads only the form you hand us by link.
• drive.file — only the files you pick, and the ones we make — this single permission now covers both directions for Docs, Sheets and Slides. Reading: you choose a file in Google’s own picker, and that choice is what grants access to that one file — so an answer can cite the spec, the numbers, or what a slide actually says. Writing: Cruxwing can save an answer as a new Google Doc, or turn a table into a new Sheet, and manage those files afterwards. It grants no access whatsoever to anything else in your Drive, and it cannot search your Drive: Google scopes it to files this app created or that you picked yourself.

That is the complete list. Cruxwing does not request access to Gmail, and requests no permission that would let it read your Drive at large — only the files it made for you, or the ones you hand it.

Limited Use

Cruxwing's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We never sell this data, never use it for advertising, and never let humans read it except with your explicit permission or where required by law.

Turning it off

Revoke access at any time in Settings, or at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking changes nothing about transcription, the decision ledger, or anything else the app does on your Mac — none of it required Google in the first place.
