App Features Related to Permissions

Ayumi may request access to the following permissions:

Permission	Purpose
Location	Used to attach the place where an entry was created and to fetch weather information for that location
Microphone	Used to record audio notes for transcription
Photo Library / Files	Used when attaching images, PDFs, audio, or other files to an entry

You can continue using Ayumi without granting these permissions, but related features may be limited.

Weather Information

Ayumi can automatically fetch weather information when creating a new entry.

This feature is used only when the app has permission to access location and when the user creates a new entry.

AI / Third-Party Services

Ayumi transcribes voice recordings on your device by default. No API key is needed, and the audio never leaves your device.

You can optionally switch a transcription profile to a cloud provider, using an API key you bring yourself:

Provider	Engines	Audio is sent to
On-device (default)	Apple’s speech models	Nowhere — stays on your device
Google Gemini API	Gemini, Gemini Transcribe	Google
Meta	Muse Voice Transcribe	Meta
xAI	Grok Speech to Text	xAI
Groq	Whisper on GroqCloud	Groq

• Cloud transcription is optional and off until you add a key and choose that provider
• Audio is sent only to the provider of the profile a recording uses, and only after you stop and submit the recording
• Live comments are off by default; when you turn them on, they use your Gemini API key during that recording
• Ayumi does not require AI features for basic journaling

See Voice Recording & Transcription to compare the engines.

Journal Storage

Ayumi stores journal entries as Markdown files in a location chosen by the user. Attachments such as images, audio files, and PDFs can be stored alongside entries.
