Storage

  • Audio is transcribed locally — Speech-to-text runs on your device using Whisper, so your audio is never sent to AI partners
  • Audio syncs to Cleft’s servers — Recordings upload to Cleft for cross-device access and sharing, but are never shared with third-party LLM providers like OpenAI
  • Note data syncs — Titles, transcripts, and summaries sync across your devices
  • Offline support — Notes created without a connection sync automatically when you’re back online
Only the text transcript is sent to AI for summarization — your audio stays between you and Cleft. Cleft is an Irish company and all data is stored in the EU. Learn more in our Trust Center.
