Local cleanup runs on Apple Silicon using MLX. In Text cleanup, enable Polish on demand, choose Local, and prepare a model. Click Polish after dictation or file transcription to use it. Selecting a model does not automatically rewrite every recording.

Current cleanup catalog

These are the models offered for a new selection in the reviewed app build. Sizes are catalog download estimates; they are not RAM requirements or benchmark results. S1-mini uses a fixed semi-formal style. Writing-style controls, app overrides, and custom instructions do not apply to it. It has a bounded input and generation budget; unsupported or invalid output keeps the original text. Yooz-Light also uses its specialized cleanup path. Use a general model when your workflow needs custom writing instructions. Model availability in the app catalog is not a guarantee of a particular speed or rewrite quality. Review important details. No model is documented here as learning your vocabulary automatically.

Load before polishing

Download and load the selected model through Text cleanup or pre-download it in Settings → Models. Polish can wait for an in-progress warm-up, but it does not silently download missing files or fall back to a cloud service. Speech recording remains independent of optional cleanup readiness. The original dictation remains in History. If polishing fails or is cancelled, the dictated text stays available. If the original insertion can no longer be verified, copy the proposed result rather than expecting Stenox to replace unrelated text.

Older models

These deprecated models can still load when already selected. They are not part of the normal new-selection list. Gemma 3n 2B and 4B have been removed. Saved local selections for unsupported models are normalized to Gemma 4 E4B, the current default. Review the selection and prepare that model before polishing. Gemma 4 12B is not in this build’s supported cleanup catalog. An older profile is not automatically a recommendation. Move to a current model deliberately and compare the result on your own text.

Meetings are separate

The On-device option in Notetaker uses Qwen 3.5 4B for insights, refined notes, and Ask Stenox. That setting is independent of the dictation cleanup selection. Meeting processing explains its lifecycle and additional speaker model.
