Hi, I am very pleased with writing in Writeroom.
I’ve just got a new Mac, and when I write in the program, an updated summary appears in the document title. It is a summary of my Danish text—in English—which means that something is reading and translating my Danish text. I thought I had disabled all AI. It is very unsettling that I cannot write in private, even in a simple program like Writeroom How is this possible? How do I keep my writing private?

Though I’m having a little trouble testing that. I have definitally seen suggested names when I use macOS 27, but at the moment (even with that checkbox checked) I can’t get that behavior to trigger. Hum.
Also, I’m looking for testers for WriteRoom 4, if interested please try out WriteRoom 4.0 (Preview 405) and let me know how it goes.
