Privacy

Tapes collects nothing. Your recordings stay on your iPhone or iPad.

What the app does not do

It has no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. It never connects to the internet, so nothing you record can leave your device unless you send it yourself.

Microphone

The app asks for the microphone so it can record. It listens only while you are recording, or while “Hear the input” is switched on. The sound goes onto your tape and nowhere else.

Your tapes

Tapes are saved in the app’s own folder on your device. They are included in your device backup if you have backups turned on. Deleting a tape, or deleting the app, removes them.

Sharing

When you press export, the app makes an audio file and hands it to the iOS share sheet. Where it goes from there is up to you.

Settings and motion

Your choice of finish, sound and haptics is stored on the device. The app reads the device’s tilt to move a reflection on the display. That reading is used on the spot and never stored.

Children

The app collects no data from anyone, children included.
