Lisdo documentation

Privacy Policy

Lisdo is a native task inbox for iPhone and Mac. It is designed around local review, iCloud sync, and user-controlled AI provider settings.

Last updated: May 23, 2026

Summary

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.

Information Lisdo Handles

  • Categories, captures, drafts, todos, todo blocks, and related status metadata.
  • Text you type, paste, import, share, or extract through OCR.
  • Transcripts when voice capture is available.
  • Optional image, audio, or file metadata needed to process a capture.
  • Local provider configuration such as provider mode and endpoint settings.
  • Account identifiers from Sign in with Apple, such as your Apple user identifier, email address, and name when you choose to share them.
  • App Store purchase and subscription metadata needed to verify plan access, quota, renewals, restores, and support requests.

iCloud Sync

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.

AI Processing

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 or to the Lisdo managed backend if you choose a Lisdo managed plan. AI output remains a draft until you review and approve it.

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.

Images, Audio, And Raw Media

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.

Account And Subscription Data

If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may provide Lisdo with an Apple user identifier, email address, and name depending on what you choose to share. Lisdo uses this information to create or access your Lisdo account, sync plan and quota status across devices, and support account recovery or support requests.

Lisdo uses StoreKit and the App Store to sell and restore subscriptions and eligible purchases. Transaction identifiers, product identifiers, subscription status, purchase dates, expiration dates, revocation status, environment, and related verification data may be sent to the Lisdo backend and Apple to verify entitlements, prevent abuse, restore purchases, and provide support.

Retention, Deletion, And Requests

App data stored locally or in iCloud remains until you delete it in the app or through your Apple account controls. Temporary pending media is deleted after processing reaches a completed or terminal failed state. Lisdo account, subscription, quota, and security records are retained as needed to provide the service, handle support, prevent abuse, and meet legal or accounting obligations.

To request access, correction, or deletion of Lisdo account data, contact support through the Support page. Signing out removes the local Lisdo account session from the device, but it does not automatically delete iCloud data or backend records needed for subscription verification and support.
