MusicShape

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 9, 2026

The short version: we do not collect any data. MusicShape listens to your instrument on your device, and your practice history stays on your device.

1. What We Collect

Nothing. MusicShape has no account, no analytics, no ads and no servers of ours. The App Store privacy label for the app says Data Not Collected.

2. The Microphone

  • MusicShape asks for the microphone so it can show the pitch, vibrato and loudness of what you play. The sound is analysed on your device, as you play, and is never sent anywhere.
  • Sound is kept only when you choose. Audio is written to your device only when you save a recording with sound, or if you set Settings → Practice log to keep audio, which is off by default. So that you can save a passage after playing it, the last minute or so of sound is held in memory, not on disk, and is discarded unless you save it.

3. Your Practice History

  • Your practice log (the notes you played and when), the pieces you name, the notes you type and any recordings are stored in the app on your device. What the log keeps is set in Settings → Practice log, including keeping nothing.
  • It is included in your iPhone or iPad backup, under your backup settings, so a new device can restore it. Some large files the app keeps automatically are left out of backups. MusicShape has no sync service of its own.
  • Deleting the app deletes it.

4. Sharing

Share cards and exported sessions are made on your device. You choose what goes on a card, and nothing leaves the device until you pick a destination in the iOS share sheet; from there, it goes only where you send it.

5. Purchases

Purchases, including any free trial or one-time unlock inside the app, are handled by Apple: we never see your card details, billing address or Apple Account. Apple gives us aggregated download and sales figures, which do not identify you. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.

6. Support

Support for MusicShape is the public MusicShape forum on our Discord server. Anything you post there is visible to other members and covered by Discord’s privacy policy. You can also email us instead.

Changes to This Policy

If MusicShape starts handling information differently, this page changes first and the effective date above moves with it. The app has no way to tell you, because we do not have your email address, so check back here from time to time.
