Privacy policy

Last updated September 27, 2026

At a glance

  • Presets and recordings are stored locally on your device.
  • No account is required. There are no ads or tracking, and we do not sell or share your data.
  • Our crash reporting service receives diagnostic reports when the app crashes. These reports are not linked to your identity.

What stays on your device

Scythe saves presets, recordings, and settings on your iPad in storage shared by the app and its Audio Unit. Recordings contain only Scythe’s output; the app never uses the microphone. This data leaves your device only when you copy or share a clip, or through your own device backups. Scythe does not send it to us or anyone else.

Crash and diagnostic reports

The Scythe app uses Sentry, a crash reporting service in the United States, to help us diagnose crashes and freezes. Each report contains:

  • a stack trace showing what the app was doing when the problem occurred
  • device model, iPadOS version, Scythe version, language, and memory use
  • a random identifier created when the app is installed, so we can distinguish repeated reports of the same crash from separate crashes

We use reports only to diagnose and fix bugs. They contain no name, email address, presets, recordings, or performance audio, are not linked to your identity, and are not used for tracking. Scythe’s Audio Unit sends no reports when running inside another app.

Network MIDI

Scythe appears as a network MIDI device so other devices on your local network can play it. MIDI traffic stays on that network and is never sent to us.

Feedback email

The feedback button opens your mail app with a message addressed to us. Sending it shares your email address and message with us. We use them only to respond.

App Store

Apple handles downloads, purchases, and ratings under Apple's privacy policy. We never receive your Apple ID or payment details.

Children

Scythe is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to this policy

Before releasing a change to our privacy practices, we will update this policy and its “Last updated” date.
