Saane Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
Saane is a voice notes app that turns what you say into notes and tasks. It is built to keep your data on your iPhone. This policy explains what the app touches, what stays on the device, and the one thing that does not.
What stays on your iPhone
Voice recordings. Saane records audio with the microphone only while you are recording a note, from the moment you tap record until you tap Stop and save. Recordings are saved in the app's own folder on your iPhone. They are never uploaded anywhere.
Transcripts. Recordings are transcribed on the device using Apple's speech recognition. No audio or text is sent to a server for transcription.
Notes and tasks. Saane uses Apple Intelligence on the device to pull tasks, titles and due dates out of a transcript. This runs entirely on your iPhone. Notes and tasks are stored as plain files in the app's folder, which you can browse in the Files app.
Calendar. If you turn on Calendar sync, Saane adds events for tasks that have a due date and reads those same events back so a date you change in Calendar shows on the task. It does not read, change or send any other event. You can turn this off at any time in iOS Settings.
Saane has no account system, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no server of its own. The only sync is your own iCloud Drive, described below. Deleting a note deletes its recording, transcript and tasks. Deleting the app deletes everything on the phone; with iCloud Drive sync on, your notes stay in your iCloud Drive until you delete them there.
iCloud Backup. Saane does not send your notes anywhere. If you have iCloud Backup turned on, iOS backs up Saane's folder along with your other apps, under your own Apple Account and Apple's own encryption. We never see it. You can exclude Saane in iOS Settings, or turn iCloud Backup off entirely, and nothing about the app changes.
What leaves your iPhone
iCloud Drive. With "Sync with iCloud Drive" on (the default when iCloud Drive is available), your notes and recordings live in your own iCloud Drive, in a Saane folder you can open in Finder or the Files app, so they appear on your Mac and on other iPhones signed in to the same Apple Account. They are stored under your Apple Account, encrypted by Apple, and never pass through us; we have no way to see them. With Advanced Data Protection turned on for your Apple Account, they are end-to-end encrypted. Turn the switch off in Saane's settings and every note moves back to the phone, where nothing leaves it.
Purchases. The Founder membership is sold through Apple's App Store. To check whether your purchase is active, Saane uses RevenueCat, a subscription service. RevenueCat receives a random identifier generated for your device, your App Store purchase receipt, and basic device information such as iOS version and country. It never receives your recordings, transcripts, notes or tasks. RevenueCat's policy is at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.
Apple handles payment. Saane never sees your name, email, payment card or Apple Account.
Your rights
Your notes are files on your device, or in your iCloud Drive when sync is on. You can export, move or delete them at any time through the Files app, Finder or by deleting a note in Saane. To remove the purchase record held by RevenueCat, contact us and we will delete it.
Children
Saane is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated date.
