InkLayer Privacy Policy

Effective 20 October 2026. Publisher: voidful.

Summary

InkLayer is a note-taking app for handwriting, PDFs and Markdown. Your notes stay on your device, in ordinary files you can also open with other apps. InkLayer has no account, no advertising, no analytics or tracking, and no crash-reporting service. The developer does not receive your notes, your files, or information about how you use the app.

What stays on your device

• Your library: Markdown notes, PDFs you import (InkLayer never changes the original), handwriting, layers, images, video, audio recordings and recognized handwriting text. They are kept in the library folder you choose: on the device, or a folder in Files such as iCloud Drive.
• Copies of text you have not saved yet, so it can be recovered after a crash. They are deleted once the note is saved.
• Your settings, such as appearance, pen and e-ink preferences, and whether you bought InkLayer Lifetime.
• The WebDAV server address, user name and password you enter, kept in the system's secure storage (Keychain).

Microphone

InkLayer uses the microphone only while you record in a document after tapping Record. Recordings are saved in your library. InkLayer does not send them anywhere.

Handwriting recognition

To make handwriting searchable, InkLayer recognizes it on the device with Apple's Vision framework. Images of your handwriting never leave the device. You can turn this off in Settings › Pencil & writing.

When InkLayer uses the network

• WebDAV sync, if you set it up, sends your library files to the WebDAV server you chose, and only there. Whoever runs that server handles the data under their own policy.
• InkLayer Lifetime is bought through the App Store (or Google Play on Android). The store processes the payment; InkLayer never receives your payment details, name or email.
• Links you tap open in your browser.

This version of InkLayer has no AI features and sends nothing to any AI service.

Sharing

InkLayer does not sell or share personal data and does not use your data for advertising or tracking.

Deleting your data

Delete notes in the app, or delete the library folder. Deleting InkLayer removes the data stored inside the app; a library folder you chose outside the app, for example in iCloud Drive, stays until you delete it. Data on your WebDAV server is deleted on that server.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
