Privacy Policy — Speak List

Last updated: September 28, 2026 · Speak List was formerly named GetAList; this policy applies to both.

Speak List is designed to keep your information private and on your own device. This page explains what the app does and does not do with your data.

Summary

• No account, no sign-in. You do not create an account to use Speak List.
• Your lists stay on your device. All lists, items, settings, and reminders are stored locally on your device. They are not uploaded to us or to any server.
• No developer-operated server, analytics, or cloud sync. Speak List runs no server of its own and sends nothing to us: no cloud AI, no analytics, no third-party API. The only outside services are Apple's own: voice input uses Apple's speech recognition (below), and the optional contribution buttons in Settings → About talk to the App Store to show prices and to process a purchase you start. Speak List never sees your payment details; Apple keeps the purchase record. Anything else leaves your phone only when you choose to share, print, or open it.
• Voice input uses Apple's speech recognition. When you speak a list, recognition is done by Apple's service — on your device when available; otherwise the audio may be processed by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. Speak List itself stores and sends nothing; only the recognized words end up in your list, on your device.
• No analytics or tracking. No usage analytics, advertising identifiers, or location data.
• You control sharing. Sharing, copying, and backing up produce plain text that you explicitly send or save. Nothing is shared automatically.
• Reminders, alarms and timers stay on the device. Reminders are local notifications scheduled by the app on your iPhone; on iOS 26 and later an optional Alarm uses Apple's AlarmKit on the device. Nothing about them leaves your phone.
• Widgets, Siri and the share sheet read the same on-device data. The home- and lock-screen widgets and the share extension read a small copy of your lists that the app keeps in an app group on your device; Siri shortcuts run through Apple's App Intents on the device. None of this is sent to us.

Data we store (on your device only)

• The lists and list items you create.
• Your settings (language, text size, reminder preferences).

This data lives only on your device and in any backups you choose to create. Deleting the app removes this data from your device.

Backups

The backup feature exports your lists as a plain-text file. You choose where that file goes (for example, Files, AirDrop, or another app you pick). Speak List does not send backups anywhere on its own. Restoring reads a plain-text file you select.

Optional contributions

Speak List is free to use. If you choose to contribute in Settings → About, the purchase is made through Apple's App Store on your device. Apple handles payment and keeps the receipt; Speak List stores your contribution status, product and transaction identifiers, and Apple's purchase-verification data on your device. These records are not sent to us. Speak List never receives your payment details and can restore your contribution purchases from Apple if you reinstall.

Future on-device features

Speak List may add optional features that use Apple's on-device intelligence (for example on-device language models) on newer iPhones. Those features, when offered, would run under Apple's privacy policies and would not send your list data to us.

Children's privacy

Speak List does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Speak List sends nothing to us; the only data that leaves the phone goes to Apple's own services (speech recognition, the App Store) or wherever you choose to share it.

Support channels

The app itself sends us nothing. If you choose to contact us: the voice support line is an automated AI assistant operated with xAI — those calls may be recorded and transcribed (under xAI's data policies) and may be reviewed to check the assistant's answers. The typed “Ask (AI)” assistant on our website sends the question you type, with a short app code that many users share and that expires within minutes, to xAI so it can answer from our user guide (under xAI's data policies); please don't include personal details in a question. Email goes to our mailbox and is read by a person. None of these channels has access to the lists on your phone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here and included with the app, dated at the top.
