Vyrra
Privacy Policy
Vyrra is designed to be a private, local-first voice utility. This policy describes what the app is intended to do with your speech, text, and settings.
Summary
- Vyrra does not require an account.
- Vyrra does not include advertising or third-party analytics code.
- Speech transcription is designed to run on your iPhone after the speech model has been prepared.
- Model setup may require downloading model files to your device.
- Saved transcripts, terms, shortcuts, folders, and preferences are stored locally on your device.
- If transcription fails, one completed recording may remain locally for retry or discard for up to 24 hours.
- Vyrra Keyboard is optional. Normal typing works without Full Access; local session status, result insertion, and enabled shortcuts require Full Access.
- Optional website support tips use a Stripe-hosted checkout only after you choose the support link.
Information Vyrra Handles
Microphone audio
Vyrra uses the microphone when you start dictation in the main app, run the system-provided Start Dictation App Shortcut, or explicitly enable Keyboard Session in Vyrra. Keyboard Session keeps the main app's microphone input active so the keyboard can request individual phrases. Audio between requested phrases is discarded without being saved or transcribed. iOS displays its microphone indicator, and Vyrra, its keyboard, and its Live Activity show microphone status and provide a Stop control.
Your Keyboard Session choice is remembered. After inactivity turns the microphone off, reopening Vyrra can make it ready again without repeating the consent step. Choosing Stop disables this automatic reactivation until you enable Keyboard Session again. In Settings > Keyboard, choose when to turn it off while unused: Immediately, 5 minutes (the default), 15 minutes, 1 hour, or Never. The inactivity countdown runs only when Vyrra is in the background, the Vyrra keyboard is hidden, and no phrase is recording or processing. Never has no inactivity deadline; iOS interruptions, closing the app, or other system limits can still stop it. Individual recordings are limited to five minutes.
After you start dictation, audio is processed on your device and removed after successful transcription, no speech, or explicit discard. If a completed recording cannot be transcribed, Vyrra may retain one recording in protected, excluded-from-backup local storage so you can retry or discard it. The recording expires after 24 hours. Interrupted partial recordings are discarded.
Transcripts and saved text
Vyrra may store polished text, original transcript text, note titles, folders, terms, shortcuts, and local settings so the app can show history and personalize output on your device.
Model files
Vyrra may download and cache speech model files. These files are used to prepare local transcription. Model downloads are not user speech or user transcript uploads.
Support and feedback
If you email support, Runner Concepts receives your email address and the contents you choose to send. This happens outside the app and is used to respond to and document your request. Support email may be retained as needed to resolve the issue. Do not include recordings or transcript text unless you choose to and it is necessary for your request.
Optional website support tips
If you choose Support Vyrra on vyrra.ai, you leave the site for a Stripe-hosted checkout. Stripe receives the payment and contact information you choose to provide under Stripe's privacy policy. Runner Concepts receives the payment amount, status, and receipt or contact details Stripe makes available, but vyrra.ai does not process or store full card details. Tips are optional, do not unlock Vyrra features, and are not represented as charitable or tax-deductible donations.
What Vyrra Does Not Do
- Vyrra does not require you to create a Runner Concepts account.
- Vyrra does not sell personal information.
- Vyrra does not include advertising SDKs.
- Vyrra does not use third-party analytics SDKs in the current app build.
Keyboard Extension
Vyrra includes an optional keyboard companion. With Full Access enabled, it exchanges limited local session status, Start/Finish/Cancel/Stop commands, result text, enabled shortcuts, and keyboard appearance and feedback preferences with the main app. Start commands work only while a Keyboard Session you enabled in Vyrra is active. The main app owns all recording and transcription. The keyboard does not open Vyrra, request microphone access, load speech models, use the network, or send keystrokes to Runner Concepts; it can open only iOS Settings. Normal typing and next-keyboard switching work without Full Access.
Network Access
Vyrra may use network access to download model assets and open support or privacy links. Public claims about fully offline behavior should be limited to behavior that has been verified on device after model setup.
Data Deletion
You can delete saved history, folders, terms, shortcuts, and local settings inside the app where those controls are available. A saved failed recording can be retried or discarded and expires after 24 hours. Deleting the app from your device also removes its local app data through normal iOS behavior.
Children
Vyrra is not designed for children under 13. Do not use Vyrra to record another person without appropriate permission.
Changes
This policy may be updated as Vyrra changes. The latest version will be posted on this page.
