Liner Notes

Support

Liner Notes is a diary that continues even when you don't write. From the traces of your day — places, photos, sleep, steps, plans — AI quietly prepares a draft of your diary. All of it is stored on your device alone, and the developer never collects it. Our aim is to sit beside your days, quietly and honestly.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I don't grant a permission (location, photos, health)?

The app works fine without it. A declined permission simply means that material isn't used in your drafts.

For example, without location access your places aren't recorded, but drafts are still built from photos, plans, and the rest. Decline everything and it still works as a hand-written diary. You can change any permission later in the Settings app.

Where does the AI run? Is my data sent anywhere?

On the free plan, the AI runs on your device. In that case, your data never leaves it.

Pro (the subscription) uses an external AI service for more natural writing. When generating drafts, questions, and weekly letters, text related to your diary is sent off the device. However, that text is never used to train AI and is never stored by the developer. Authentication uses only your App Store purchase, so your name and account are never shared with the external AI. Nothing beyond diary text — no photos themselves, no raw health data — is ever sent.

See the Privacy Policy for details.

Where is my diary stored?

Entirely on your iPhone. The developer (Aves Inc.) never stores your diary or reads its contents.

See the Privacy Policy for details.

I'm switching phones. What should I do with my data?

Because data is stored only on the device, before switching, export your diary from the Settings tab (Markdown) and move the file to your new device via the Files app or AirDrop.

Caution: if you delete the app from your old device without exporting, your diary data is lost and cannot be recovered. Please export first when switching phones.

There is currently no import feature that reads the exported file back into the app on a new device. Please keep the exported Markdown file as the archive of your diary so far.

How do I cancel the Pro subscription?

Subscriptions run through Apple (the App Store), so cancellation happens in Apple's settings.

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone
  2. Tap your name at the top → "Subscriptions"
  3. Choose "Liner Notes" and tap "Cancel Subscription"

After canceling, Pro remains available until the end of the current billing period. Your diary data stays on your device after cancellation.

How does Family Mode work?

Family Mode is a Pro feature that turns table conversation into the family's diary.

  1. Set your iPhone on the table and talk about the day. The conversation is transcribed on the spot
  2. Afterward, tag each line with who said it
  3. The conversation is saved on the device as the family's diary

Audio never leaves the device. And with Apple Family Sharing turned on, one subscription covers the whole family.

My weekly AI letter isn't arriving

Please check the following.

  • The weekly letter uses cloud AI, so it must be explicitly turned on (opted into) inside the app
  • Check that notifications for Liner Notes are allowed under iPhone Settings → Notifications
  • Letters aren't automatic — create them from "Write this week's letter" in the Letters tab (the week needs at least one day of records)
  • Your first letter is free to try. From the second letter on, a Pro subscription (monthly or yearly) is required

If it still doesn't arrive, please contact us below.
