Privacy

Your notes are on your device, they are yours, and you can export all of them at any time.

Return is built so the publisher stays in control of what is kept and what is removed.

On device

The core record stays on the publisher’s device. Return does not create an account or send ministry notes to a developer server. Dictation is transcribed on device. Audio is never uploaded and is deleted after you review the note.

On-device suggestions

On supported iPhone, Apple Intelligence can turn the words you captured into suggestions. The raw note is already safe on your device. Nothing is added to a conversation until you choose it.

Optional private iCloud sync

Return Supporter can add private iCloud sync across the publisher’s devices. It is not backup, and it does not make a promise that notes cannot be lost. If Supporter ends, sync stops and notes already on each device remain there.

Discreet mode

Discreet mode changes how sensitive details appear on screen. Names are shown quieter, and protected note previews use measure rules instead of blur.

Export

Export remains available for every record the publisher wrote, whether or not they support sync.

Erase

The publisher can anonymize or erase their own records. Return does not retain a separate developer copy.
