Privacy Policy
Yantra is a personal “second brain” app: voice memos, text notes, a daily journal, and saved links — captured, transcribed, embedded, and searched entirely on your device. This policy explains, in plain terms, what happens to your data. The short version: your notes never leave your device except when you yourself ask an AI feature to run, and even then they go directly from your device to the AI provider you chose, using your own API key.
No accounts, no servers, no tracking
Yantra has no user accounts and no sign-in. The developer operates no server that receives, stores, or processes your notes. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising, no third-party tracking, and no data collected about you. Your content is not sold, shared, or used to train any model by the developer.
Where your data lives
All of your notes, journal entries, transcripts, voice recordings, images, saved links, and chat history are stored locally on your device(using Apple’s on-device database). They are included in your device’s normal encrypted backups if you have those enabled. Uninstalling the app removes this data.
Your API keys
Yantra is “bring your own key.” You supply your own API keys (Anthropic is required; Deepgram and Sarvam are optional). These keys are stored only in your device’s secure Keychain. They are never transmitted to the developer and are used solely to authenticate your own requests to those providers.
On-device processing
- Microphone & speech.Voice capture is transcribed on-device using Apple’s Speech framework by default. Audio is processed locally and not sent to the developer.
- Embeddings & search. Notes are embedded and searched on-device. Your search queries stay on your device.
- Calendar. If you grant calendar access, Yantra reads your selected calendars to show your agenda and writes events you create. Calendar data is processed on-device and is not sent to the developer.
When data is sent to AI providers
Some features require AI that cannot run on-device. When you use them, the relevant content is sent directly from your device to the provider you configured, authenticated with your own key:
- Anthropic (Claude) — chat with your notes, link summaries, image descriptions, and meeting notes. The question and the relevant note excerpts are sent to Anthropic. Anthropic Privacy Policy.
- Deepgram (optional) — higher-accuracy and speaker-labeled transcription. The audio you choose is sent to Deepgram. Deepgram Privacy Policy.
- Sarvam (optional) — Hindi/Indic speech, translation, and meeting transcription. The relevant text or audio is sent to Sarvam. Sarvam Privacy Policy.
- Saved links. When you save a URL, your device fetches that page and sends its text to Claude for a summary.
Each provider processes that data under its own terms and privacy policy. Because requests use your own account and key, that provider’s data-handling and retention settings apply to you directly.
Backups you control
Yantra can export all of your notes to a single file that you save wherever you choose (for example, Files or iCloud Drive). These exports are created only when you initiate them and are never sent to the developer.
Children
Yantra is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the “last updated” date above will be revised.
