Privacy
Your notebook
delly keeps your handwritten notes, transcripts and generated revisions in the notebook you choose. You can use a local notebook, a shared folder such as iCloud Drive, or your own private GitLab project. People who have access to a shared folder or repository may be able to read its contents.
Connecting Google Calendar
Google sign-in identifies the account you selected. delly saves each Google session in the Keychain on that device. The app reads your calendar list to show the calendars available under each account. You choose which calendars appear in Coming up. delly requests upcoming events for enabled calendars. It uses event titles, dates, times, time zones, organizers, invitee names or addresses, agenda, location and available call links to display meetings and help you prepare a note.
Linking a meeting
When you associate an event with a note, delly can save its title, date, participants and agenda in that notebook. An invitation identifies an invitee. It does not confirm attendance. Turning off a calendar stops its upcoming events from appearing. Disconnecting the account removes its saved connection from this device. You can revoke access across devices in Google Account connections. Linked information already in your notes stays there until you remove it.
Recording and AI
delly uses the microphone and, on Mac when permitted, system audio for transcription. Choose a model in Settings. Apple Intelligence processes supported requests on your device. Selecting a hosted model sends the relevant note, transcript, question and applicable meeting details to the provider you configure. Your provider controls its own processing and retention. An Ollama endpoint runs wherever you host it.
Sharing and removal
You control exports and the read-only notebook connector that can let an assistant read notes and transcripts. Moving a note to Trash hides it from the active library. It remains available to restore. Copies you exported, shared, backed up or committed may still exist. Manage their retention with the recipient or storage provider. In particular, deleting a local note does not erase private GitLab history.
Google data and contact
delly uses data from Google APIs to provide the calendar and meeting-note features you choose. Its use and transfer of that information are subject to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. For questions about a connected Google account, the Google consent screen lists the app’s support contact. The support guide explains how to disconnect your account.
