Uttr — Privacy Policy

Effective September 12, 2026 · Applies to the Uttr iOS app

Uttr is built so your thoughts stay yours. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind. We do not sell, share, or monetize your data — we couldn't if we wanted to, because we don't collect it.

Your voice

Speech is transcribed on your iPhone using Apple's on-device speech recognition. In one narrow case it falls back: if on-device recognition fails before producing any text at all — most often on a fresh install, before iOS has finished downloading its speech model — Uttr retries that capture once through Apple's standard dictation service, which processes audio on Apple's servers under Apple's own privacy policy. That is the only circumstance in which audio leaves your device. It is never sent to us, and we never receive, see, or store it.

Your thoughts, events, reminders, and memories

Everything you capture is stored locally on your device. Events and reminders you choose to save are written to your own Apple Calendar and Reminders via the permissions you grant.

Uttr reads your calendar in exactly one way, and only to hear you correctly. About once a day it looks at events in the fortnight either side of today and keeps the first names of people you are scheduled with — at most twenty of them — so that speech recognition spells “Priya” rather than guessing. It takes nothing else from those events: not titles, not notes, not locations, not times, not email addresses. Those names stay on your device, are never sent anywhere, and you can clear them at any time by turning off Calendar access in iOS Settings.

Optional AI refinement

Uttr can refine how a captured thought is titled and filed. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 and later), this runs entirely on your device using Apple's on-device model — nothing is sent anywhere. On other iPhones, refinement is off by default: the on-device parser works alone, and nothing you say leaves your phone. If you choose to switch on cloud refine in Settings, the text transcript only (never audio) is sent over an encrypted connection to a private processing endpoint we operate, used solely to structure your thought, and returned. It is not stored, logged, sold, or used for anything else — including training AI models. Turn it off again at any time.

Connections (optional)

Uttr can also keep a copy of what you capture in Google Tasks, Todoist, or Notion. All three are off by default: nothing is sent to any of them unless you connect it yourself in Settings → Connections, signing in with your own account for that service. Once connected, this is exactly what each one receives:

• Google Tasks — your reminders only: the title, any notes or checklist, and the due date.
• Todoist — your reminders only: the title, any checklist, and the due date.
• Notion — your memories only: the title, any checklist, the date, and your words as you spoke them.

Each copy also carries the line “Captured with Uttr”. Calendar events are never sent to any of them. When you later edit, complete, or delete one of those items in Uttr, that change is passed on to the connected service so its copy stays in step.

These copies travel directly from your iPhone to that service, using your own sign-in — never through our servers. The one exception is the sign-in itself for Todoist and Notion, which happens once: those services require a secret that can't safely live inside an app, so the sign-in's one-time code passes through our server, which exchanges it for your access key and hands the key straight back to your phone. Our server keeps neither, and nothing you capture ever passes through it on the way to a connected service. Google's sign-in needs no such step and never touches our servers. Access keys are stored in your iPhone's Keychain, and a change that can't be delivered right away (say, while you're offline) waits in a small queue on your device until it can.

Disconnect a service in Settings → Connections and nothing more is sent to it. Copies already in Google Tasks, Todoist, or Notion stay there, under that service's own privacy policy, until you delete them there.

What Uttr learns

When you correct a card (a spelling, a name, a category), Uttr remembers that correction in a small dictionary stored only on your device. You can view and delete every learned rule inside the app (Board → brain icon).

Permissions we ask for, and why

• Microphone & Speech Recognition — to hear and transcribe you, on-device.
• Calendar & Reminders — to save what you speak into your own apps.
• Notifications — to confirm saves and return thoughts at the right time.

Every permission is optional; Uttr degrades gracefully without any of them.

Data retention & deletion

Delete the app and everything Uttr stored is gone. Items already saved to your Apple Calendar or Reminders — or copied to a service you connected — remain there under your control, like any other entry.

Children

Uttr is not directed at children under 13 and collects no data from anyone.
