Privacy Policy

Free and offline

Mowyns Note is free to use, with no account, ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions. The app does not initiate internet connections or use advertising, tracking or third-party analytics services.

The app does not send notes, attachments, recordings, transcripts, device identifiers or usage records to the developer or any server. This version does not offer iCloud or other cloud sync.

On-device data

Note text, images, recordings, attachments, favorites, reading positions and preferences are stored locally in the app. Recording drafts that have not yet been added to a note are also kept on the device so they can be recovered after an interruption.

The usage duration shown in About is counted only on this device and can be reset by you. It is not uploaded or used for profiling.

Recording, transcription and permissions

The app requests camera or microphone access only when you use photo capture, scanning or recording. You choose photos and files through system pickers. Declining these permissions does not prevent you from writing text notes.

Transcription requires system speech-recognition permission and uses on-device recognition only. If the device or language is unsupported, the recording is kept and transcription is reported as unavailable. The app does not fall back to cloud recognition. You can revoke permissions in system settings.

Backups, sharing and other services

You initiate plain backups, encrypted backups and exports. Encrypted-backup passwords are not stored; a forgotten password cannot be recovered. Keep your backup files and passwords in a safe place.

When you choose to share, select files from a system file service, or open a note link in a browser, the system or your chosen app handles that action. Device backups, cloud file providers and system keyboard dictation follow their own settings and policies. They are not automatic uploads or cloud sync performed by Mowyns Note.

Retention and deletion

Deleted notes first move to the Recycle Bin. You can restore them, confirm permanent deletion or empty the bin. Recording drafts can be explicitly discarded in the recording panel. Saved recordings are managed with their notes and attachments.

On iOS, Delete App removes the app's local data, while Offload App keeps documents and data. Previously exported files and system backups must be managed in their respective locations. The developer does not hold a copy of your notes and cannot recover lost local content for you.

Policy updates

If a future version changes how data is handled, this policy will be updated and your consent requested where needed. The current policy is always available offline in Settings → Privacy & Storage.
