About freestyle

Freestyle is the dictation app that converts your voice into text. Hold down a hotkey, talk, and clean text will appear wherever your cursor is. Speak 4X faster than you type. Freestyle is free, open source, and local-first. Run a local model and your dictations never leave your device, or bring your own API

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
