Privacy starts with a clear choice.

What stays on your device

Recording, playback, imports, edits, transcripts and results from a selected on-device AI workflow are handled locally. Memento does not require an account or show ads. This website serves static pages and does not set analytics cookies.

Local AI and model downloads

Supported local models run on your device after you choose and install them. The model host receives a normal download request, which can include your IP address, but the recording is not attached to that download. Availability depends on the device, language, storage and installed model. A missing local model does not silently switch to a remote AI provider.

Optional transfers

• Paired Mac relay: when chosen, a recording and job data travel from iPhone or iPad to your paired Mac; results return to the device.
• iCloud result sync: if enabled, derived results such as transcripts, summaries, tags and translations can be stored in your private CloudKit database. This is not full audio-library sync.
• Mac AI providers: when you configure and authorize a remote provider, the chosen operation can send relevant audio, transcript or collection context to that endpoint. A local Ollama server follows its configured address.
• Export: copies you share or export are managed by the destination you select.

Optional diagnostics

Memento offers an off-by-default setting to share usage and crash diagnostics with Firebase. If enabled, Firebase may receive app interaction events, job outcomes, device and crash information, and a pseudonymous installation identifier. Memento does not deliberately add recording audio, transcript text, titles or prompts to custom events. You can turn this off in the app's Privacy settings; previously received data may require a separate request.

Deletion and questions

Items moved to Memento's Trash can be restored until permanently removed. Previously exported copies, content already transferred to a paired Mac or provider, and iCloud results require separate management at those destinations. For privacy questions or data requests, contact westley@outlook.it.
