Is my data private? Does absorvia train on my thoughts?
Your thought library stays on your device. Optional iCloud backup, off by default, keeps a copy in your own iCloud that absorvia cannot read. No absorvia account is required. AI reflections are opt-in. With your permission, relevant writing and context are sent to our backend and, when needed, to OpenAI. A request can include excerpts from more than one capture. This text is not used to train OpenAI's models. Switch AI Reflections off in Settings to stop future AI requests. Temporary service records are explained in the privacy policy.

Manage your subscriptionWill every thought receive a reflection?
AI reflections require your permission and an internet connection. The free plan includes up to three AI reflections in a rolling seven-day period. A reflection is an optional written response to a thought; the on-device thought category and orb colour do not require one. Premium includes further access subject to fair-use limits. You can keep writing within your plan’s capture allowance when reflections are unavailable.
Can I speak my thoughts instead of typing?
Yes. During setup anyone can speak their first thought. After setup, voice capture is part of Premium. Speech recognition runs on your device, and no audio leaves it.
Can I back up my thoughts?
Yes, with optional iCloud backup. It is off until you turn it on in Settings. It keeps a copy of your thoughts, with their tasks and saved reflections, in your own iCloud. absorvia cannot read it and it is not sent to our server. Audio is not backed up.
More about iCloud backupHow do invites work?

If their first payment stands, you may receive one free month through an Apple Offer Code, redeemed through Apple. Invite records are kept for up to 400 days.
Is this journalling? Is this therapy?
