Lisdo does not sell personal data, does not show ads, and does not include third-party tracking for advertising. Captures become AI drafts first, and a user must review and approve a draft before it becomes a saved todo.
Lisdo uses Apple iCloud infrastructure to sync app data between your iPhone and Mac. Synced data may include categories, capture items, processing drafts, todos, todo blocks, and pending queue metadata. Your iCloud account and Apple privacy controls govern this sync.
Lisdo does not store API keys, provider secrets, OAuth tokens, or local CLI paths in the CloudKit app database. Hosted BYOK API keys are stored in Keychain and may be available on your devices through your Apple Keychain sync settings. Local CLI paths and local-only provider settings stay on the Mac where they were configured.
Lisdo's MVP provider model is bring-your-own-key. When you choose to organize a capture, the relevant text, OCR text, transcript, category rules, and draft instructions may be sent to the AI provider you configured. Provider handling is governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy.
Provider credentials are stored in Keychain. Hosted BYOK keys may sync through the user's Keychain sync so iPhone and Mac can process drafts with the same provider credentials; they are not stored as CloudKit records.
Lisdo's default design is to run Apple Vision OCR on the device where an image is captured or imported, then sync OCR text and metadata rather than the original image. Audio capture is designed to keep transcript handling separate from AI drafting.
For Mac-only CLI or local-model modes, direct image or audio processing may temporarily sync the original media to the Mac as a pending attachment. After Mac processing reaches a completed or terminal failed state, Lisdo deletes those temporary pending media attachments. Lisdo does not send provider secrets or CLI paths through the CloudKit app database.
