Your library (albums, ratings, notes, folders, shelves, and artwork) is stored locally on your device. If iCloud is enabled, it syncs across your devices via Apple's CloudKit and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. Your library content is never sent to servers controlled by the developer.
Search queries, album artwork, the Discover tab, and Complete My Library features use Apple Music. Your queries are sent to Apple. Apple's Privacy Policy applies to those requests.
Photo access is requested only when you choose to set album artwork or save a shelf image. It is not required for core functionality.
If you opt in via Settings, the app sends anonymous usage data (app version, device type, OS version, and feature usage counts) to a server hosted on AWS. This data contains no album names, artists, ratings, notes, or any personal information. It cannot be linked to you or your device. The feature is off by default and can be disabled at any time. No third‑party analytics, advertising, or tracking services are used.
Export your full library as JSON at any time from the System tab. Permanently delete all device and iCloud data via 'Clear All Data & Reset App'.
