Privacy & Transparency
At Cephalopod Studio, we take your privacy seriously. All transcription in Rambler happens entirely on-device using iOS 26 APIs. Your private reflections stay on your device.
Optional AI features (summaries, titles, mood detection) can be completely disabled for a 100% private experience. When enabled, these features also run on-device whenever possible.
The iOS Journal API integration preserves privacy by design—you must manually select memories and activities through Apple's journaling suggestions picker. We cannot access this data without your explicit action.
Your data is yours. Export your entries and attachments anytime, in full.
