Privacy policy
Version 1 · 27 September 2026
This policy describes Capture Rocket version 1.0, the version you can download today. It says what the app actually does, checked against the app itself rather than against what it is supposed to do.
The short version
Capture Rocket has no account, no server and no way of sending anything to us. Your notes, your pictures and your recordings are kept on your own device. We do not receive them, we cannot read them, and there is nothing about you for us to lose.
What we collect
Nothing.
Not your name, not an email address, not a device number, not a single figure about how you use the app. There is no analytics in it, no advertising, no trackers and no crash-reporting service. The app contains no code that talks to the internet at all, so it does not matter whether you trust us on this: there is nothing for it to talk to.
What is on your device, and stays there
- The words of every note, and the version that first arrived, which is kept
separately and never written over.
- Any pictures you add or share in.
- Any recordings, if you have chosen to keep them.
- Your project names and the other names you have told them to answer to.
- Your settings: light or dark, and whether recordings are kept.
- The backup files the app writes for you.
- A small file holding the number of notes waiting, which the Home Screen widget
reads. It does not leave your phone.
Turning what you say into words
When you record a note, Capture Rocket asks Apple's own dictation to write down what you said, and requires it to be done on your device. Not "prefers" — requires. Nothing you say goes anywhere.
If a device cannot do that on its own, Capture Rocket refuses to dictate on it and tells you so, and you can type instead. It will not quietly send your recording away to get around the limitation. We never see your recordings or your words either way.
Dictation is set to British English.
Apple Intelligence, if you have it
On the brief screen, if Apple Intelligence is switched on, Capture Rocket can offer to tidy a brief using Apple's model. That runs on your device. Nothing is sent, no account is needed and nothing is charged. It is optional: the brief is built out of your own notes with or without it.
Your phone's own backup
This is the part most policies get wrong, so it is worth being exact.
Capture Rocket never sends anything to the cloud itself. But your notes, pictures, recordings and backup files sit in ordinary folders on your phone, and those folders are included in whatever backup you already make of the phone — your own iCloud backup, or a copy on your computer. That is your copy, in your account. We have no access to it and no way of asking for it.
If you would rather your notes were not in that backup, turn Capture Rocket off in your iPhone's own iCloud Backup settings.
Backup files, and anything you send on
Capture Rocket writes one backup file a day and keeps the last five. They are on your phone, and visible in the Files app under On My iPhone, so you can drag one into iCloud Drive, AirDrop it or email it. If you do, the file goes wherever you sent it and this policy stops being the thing that governs it.
The same is true of the Share and Copy buttons on a brief. They hand the text to whatever you chose. Nothing is sent without you pressing something.
Deleting everything
Settings, then Erase everything on this iPhone. It asks you to type a word first, and there is no undo. It removes every note and every project from the device.
Two things it does not do, and it tells you so on the screen:
- It does not delete the backup files. That is deliberate — the whole point of
them is to outlive a mistake. Delete them yourself in the Files app if you want everything gone.
- It cannot reach a copy already inside your own iPhone backup. Only you can,
through Apple.
Deleting the app removes the app's notes, pictures, recordings and backup files from the device. It does not reach a copy already in your own iPhone backup.
There is no account to close, because there never was one.
Children
Capture Rocket is suitable for all ages and collects nothing from anybody, of any age.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever starts doing something this page does not describe, this page changes on the same day, and the version and date at the top change with it. We will not quietly widen what the app does and leave the words behind.
