Privacy

Private by design, not by promise.

Hansei is built so that we never see your journal. Every technical decision in Hansei starts from the same question: what is the least we need to know? We don't even use cookies on this website!

On your iPhone

Speech recognition, tagging and analysis all run on the device. Hansei never sends your journal to an AI service.

No account

There is nothing to sign up for, and we never know who you are.

No data collected

Hansei's App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected." No analytics, ads or tracking.

Place names

To label where an entry was made, Hansei asks Apple's map service for the name of the location, never the entry itself. Turn this off any time with Strict Privacy.

Locked when you're not looking

Face ID protects the app, and entries recorded from the Lock Screen are sealed until you unlock.

Optional iCloud sync

Off unless you turn it on. Everything is encrypted on your iPhone before it leaves, so Apple stores only sealed data and we can't see it at all. Add a passphrase for a second lock; you'll get a one-time recovery key in case you forget it.

Honest limits

If you forget both your passphrase and your recovery key, your iCloud copy can't be opened by anyone, including us. Your iPhone's copy is unaffected.
