Your voice data is stored exclusively on your local machine. No voice recordings, voice model weights, or synthesized audio ever leave your computer under any circumstances.
Here is the specific breakdown of where voice-related data lives on your system.
Your original voice sample — the 60-second recording you make during setup — is stored at ~/.vidno/voices/samples/. This is the raw audio file you recorded. VidNo keeps it so you can retrain your voice model if needed without re-recording. You can delete this file after training if you want — the trained model does not depend on the original sample being present.
Your trained voice model is stored at ~/.vidno/voices/models/. This is the MOSS TTS model file that contains the learned weights representing your voice characteristics. The file is typically 200-400MB. This model is what VidNo uses during voice synthesis to generate speech that sounds like you. It runs entirely on your GPU during inference — no network calls, no cloud API, no external service.
Synthesized audio from each video processing run is stored temporarily in ~/.vidno/cache/ during rendering and then in the output directory alongside your final videos. These are standard WAV or AAC files containing the narration for each video. They exist only on your disk.
No part of this pipeline involves any cloud service. MOSS TTS is not a cloud-hosted model with a local API wrapper — it is a fully local model that runs inference directly on your NVIDIA GPU using CUDA. There is no server to phone home to, no telemetry about your voice usage, and no way for VidNo (or anyone else) to access your voice model remotely.
If you use the Team plan, each team member's voice data is stored on their own machine. There is no central server that aggregates voice models. Team functionality is managed through license validation and feature flags, not centralized voice storage.
You can back up your voice models by copying the ~/.vidno/voices/ directory. You can move them between machines. You can delete them permanently at any time by removing those directories. Full control, full ownership, always local.
