The short version: Autopen collects nothing. Your meetings are processed entirely on your iPhone. We have no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no access to anything you record or write.
Meeting audio is captured by your iPhone's microphone and processed in memory only. It is never written to disk, never uploaded, and is discarded the moment transcription finishes. There is no recording file — anywhere — at any point.
Transcription and AI note-writing run entirely on your device using local models. Transcripts and notes are stored only on your iPhone, encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM with the key in your device's secure Keychain). Deleting a meeting in the app permanently deletes it. You can additionally protect the app with Face ID.
Autopen has an off-by-default option to generate notes with Anthropic's cloud service using your own API key. If — and only if — you turn it on for a meeting, the transcript text (never audio) is sent to Anthropic to write that meeting's notes, subject to Anthropic's privacy policy. Autopen itself still receives nothing: the request goes directly from your device to Anthropic.
Nothing. Autopen has no analytics, no advertising, no trackers, no accounts, and no telemetry that identifies you. The app's only network activity is: (1) the one-time download of its AI models at setup, (2) the optional cloud-notes feature described above.
If you enable speaker memory, Autopen stores mathematical voice signatures (never audio) on your device, encrypted, so recurring speakers can be suggested by name. This is off by default and deletable at any time, per speaker or all at once.
Recording laws vary by location; in some places all parties must consent to being recorded. Autopen shows a consent reminder and keeps recording visible, but complying with local law is your responsibility.
