Overview
Ivory Note is an offline-first voice-notes application developed by MRX Dynamics LLC. Ivory Note does not require an account and does not operate a server that receives your recordings, transcripts, notes, summaries, study guides, flashcards, or other generated note content.
Information Ivory Note handles
To provide its features, Ivory Note handles content that you choose to create or import:
- Microphone audio recorded through Ivory Note.
- Audio files you import into the app.
- Recordings transferred from your paired Apple Watch.
- Transcripts, titles, summaries, subjects, study guides, flashcards, and other note content generated from your content.
- App preferences, such as whether onboarding has been completed.
How processing works
Speech transcription and automatic language detection run on your device using WhisperKit and a speech model included with Ivory Note. WhisperKit loads the bundled model from the app package and runs transcription locally using Apple/Core ML infrastructure. Model downloads are disabled in this build.
Ivory Note does not use the OpenAI API and does not send recordings, transcripts, summaries, study guides, flashcards, or other generated note content to OpenAI or any other third-party AI service.
Storage and deletion
Recordings and note data are stored locally in Ivory Note's app container on your device. You can delete an individual recording while retaining its note, delete a complete note, or delete all notes and recordings from Ivory Note's Settings.
Deleting Ivory Note from a device generally removes its local app data from that device. Device backups are controlled by your Apple and device settings, not by Ivory Note.
Apple Watch
The Ivory Note Apple Watch app records audio locally on the Watch and transfers that audio to the paired iPhone using Apple's device communication services. Transcription and note generation occur on the iPhone.
Permissions
Ivory Note requests microphone access only to record audio. You can review or revoke microphone permission in the Settings app on your device. Features that require microphone access will not work when permission is denied.
Data collection, tracking, and advertising
Ivory Note does not require account registration, display third-party advertising, include third-party analytics SDKs, or track you across apps and websites. Ivory Note does not share personal data with a third-party AI service.
Apple may independently process limited information when you download Ivory Note, submit an App Store review, use TestFlight, or use Apple system services. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's own privacy policies.
Children's privacy
Ivory Note does not knowingly collect personal information from children through an Ivory Note-operated service. Ivory Note is not presented as a children's app. Parents and guardians should supervise recording and device use as appropriate.
Recording other people
You are responsible for obtaining permission before recording other people and for following the laws, school rules, workplace policies, and other requirements that apply where you are located. Ivory Note does not determine whether a particular recording is lawful.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when Ivory Note's features or data practices change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when a revised policy is published.
