Privacy Policy

Magic Pocket is built so the things you save stay yours. There is no account, what you save is processed on your device, and nothing you save is ever sent to us.

Who we are

Magic Pocket is made by Rehaan Rasheed, an independent developer. In this policy “we” and “us” mean the developer, and “you” means anyone using the app. You can reach us at rehaancubes@gmail.com.

What stays on your device

Everything you save, whether notes, links, photos, documents or screenshots, is stored in the app on your device. The app works on it there, using Apple’s on-device frameworks:

• Reading the text in photos and documents.
• Finding details such as names, dates and numbers, and naming and filing what you save. On devices that support it, this uses Apple’s on-device language model.
• Searching, including search by meaning, with an index kept on your device.
• Understanding voice requests. Speech is recognised on your device, and audio is never stored or sent anywhere.

None of this is sent to us or to anyone else, and we have no way to see what you save.

iCloud sync

If iCloud is turned on for your Apple Account, your Pocket syncs between your devices through your own private iCloud database. Apple stores it in your iCloud storage under Apple’s Privacy Policy. We cannot access it.

Search on your device

So you can find a saved thing from your device’s own search (Spotlight), the app adds what you save to that search index: titles, summaries, text and the details it reads out, such as numbers and dates. The index is kept on your device by the operating system and is not sent to us or anyone else. It is removed when you delete the item or use Delete all Pocket data. Results stay searchable while the app lock is on; opening one still asks you to unlock.

Siri

When you ask Siri to search Magic Pocket, Siri passes what you said to the app, which searches for it on your device. The app does not give Siri the names or contents of the things you save. Siri itself, including how it handles your requests, is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Pocket Keyboard

The keyboard offers the text, links and details you’ve saved, and your saved photos and files. Tapping text types it into the app you’re using. Tapping a photo or file copies it to your clipboard for you to paste, which needs the keyboard’s Full Access; everything else works without it. Saved items remain available with the app’s Face ID or Touch ID lock on.

The keyboard does not read the surrounding conversation, does not keep what you type, and never sends anything over the network, with or without Full Access.

Ask Pocket on Mac

When you choose Ask Pocket from the macOS Services menu, Pocket receives only the text you selected. It searches your unlocked library on this Mac. A single exact match replaces your selection immediately; otherwise you choose a result from the picker. Templates ask for missing fields before you insert them. File and image results open in Pocket’s menu-bar panel. You can drag the original into another app or upload area. This action does not use your clipboard. These requests are not saved or sent to us, and Pocket does not read the rest of your document or conversation.

When the app goes online

The app only connects to the internet for these things:

• iCloud, to sync your Pocket as described above.
• Link previews. When you save a link, the app asks that website for the page’s title and preview image, just as opening the link in a browser would.
• Purchases. Magic Pocket Pro is bought through Apple. We use RevenueCat to check whether you have bought it. RevenueCat receives purchase details such as the product, price and transaction date; an anonymous identifier created by the app; basic app and device information such as the app version, system version and App Store country; and, like any internet service, your IP address. It never receives anything you save. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.

What we don’t do

• No accounts and no sign-in.
• No advertising, and no tracking across other apps or websites.
• No analytics or data collection beyond the purchase check above.
• We never sell or share your information.

If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device’s settings, Apple may pass anonymous crash reports on to us. You can change this under Privacy & Security, then Analytics & Improvements.

Permissions

The app asks for access only when you use a feature that needs it, and you can change your answer in your device’s settings at any time.

• Camera, to scan documents you choose to save.
• Microphone and speech recognition, for voice requests, which are processed on your device.
• Face ID or Touch ID, if you turn on the optional app lock. Apple handles this, and we never receive any biometric data.
• Photos and files are only ever the ones you pick, and the clipboard is only read when you choose to paste from it.
• Screenshots on Mac go through the system’s own picker and capture only the window or screen you choose.

Your data, your choices

• Delete anything you have saved. Deleted items wait in Recently Deleted until you remove them for good.
• Export your Pocket from Settings at any time.
• Remove everything with Delete all Pocket data in Settings. This also removes your Pocket from your other devices when they next sync.
• Deleting the app removes what it stored on that device. What is in iCloud can be managed from your device’s iCloud settings.

Children

Magic Pocket is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update it here and in the app and change its effective date.
