Recordist for iPhone

Privacy policy

Last updated 11 November 2026.

Recordist for iPhone collects no data. It has no account and no server, it runs no analytics or advertising, and it makes no network connection of its own. This page covers the iPhone app; Recordist on Mac, Windows and Linux has a policy of its own.

What stays on your iPhone

Recordist keeps the audio of each conversation you record, its transcript, the moments picked out of it, the mark that you told the people with you along with the time you started, and your settings. All of it is kept in the app's own storage on your iPhone.

Recordist asks iOS to leave these records out of your backups, so they are not copied into an iCloud backup or any other backup, and they do not come back if you restore or replace the iPhone. Export anything you want to keep somewhere else.

How they are made

The microphone is on only after you press Record and say yes on the card, and it stays on until you press Stop. A phone call pauses the recording, and it starts again only when you press Resume.

Apple's speech recognition writes the transcript on your iPhone. On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model picks out the moments on your iPhone too, and you can turn that off in You decide. The first time you record in a language, iOS may download Apple's speech model for it, as it does for every app that uses that model, and the download carries nothing you said.

Something leaves your iPhone only when you share it. Export and Send a few lines hand the words to the app or person you pick in the share sheet, and that app's own terms apply from there. We never receive them.

If you choose in iOS to share analytics with app developers, Apple may pass us reports of the app crashing, which hold no recordings, transcripts or notes.

Deleting

In a conversation, More and then Delete this conversation removes its audio, transcript and notes from your iPhone. Delete everything, at the foot of You decide, removes every conversation, and deleting the app removes all of it. We hold nothing of yours, so there is nothing for us to delete on request.

You can stop Recordist from using the microphone at any time in Settings, Privacy & Security, Microphone.

If this changes

If Recordist for iPhone ever changes what it keeps or sends, this page changes first and carries the new date, before the version of the app that makes the change.
