Miora is a private travel diary. This policy describes what the app actually does with your information — not what a category of app typically does. Where Miora falls short of what you might reasonably expect, that is stated too.
Miora asks you to sign in before you can use it, with an email address and password or with your Google account. We hold your email address, and — if you use Google — the name and profile picture Google gives us. That is the whole of what we know about who you are. There is no profile to fill in, and we ask for nothing else.
Everything you write and capture is stored on your phone first, in Miora's private app storage: your memories, your photographs and videos at full resolution, your voice recordings, your trips, and the name you print on a book. Miora works offline, and nothing about a memory leaves the phone at the moment you save it.
Miora can copy your journal to our server so you can put it back on a new phone. This only happens when you tap “Back up now”. There is no automatic or background upload.
When you do, we receive and store: your memories and their text, titles, moods, place names and dates; your photographs and videos; and your voice recordings. They are held against your account so that only you can download them again.
We chose this deliberately rather than by omission. Encrypting a backup so that only you can open it needs a key only you hold, and a forgotten key would destroy the backup permanently — which is a hard thing to build into a product whose entire purpose is not losing things.
Nothing is uploaded in the background. Every transfer below happens only because you took a specific action, and sends only the part needed for it.
| When you… | What is sent | Who receives it |
|---|---|---|
| Create an account or sign in | Your email address and password, or your Google sign-in | Supabase, which runs our accounts; Google, if you sign in with Google |
| Tap “Back up now” | Your whole journal — text, photographs, videos and voice recordings | Supabase, our database and file storage provider |
| Ask Miora to write a story from your words | Your text, plus the mood, tone, place name, weather and date | Anthropic |
| Ask the Companion a question | Your question, plus a reduced form of your memories — title, story, city, place, date, mood, weather | Anthropic |
| Record a voice note | The audio recording | Deepgram, to transcribe it |
| Capture a memory with location enabled | Your GPS coordinates | LocationIQ, to name the place; Open-Meteo, to read the temperature |
| Search for a place by typing it | What you typed | LocationIQ |
| Import a photograph that records where it was taken | That photograph's own coordinates, read on your device | LocationIQ, to name the place. Never the weather service — a reading taken today would say nothing true about a photograph taken last year |
| Miora fails, and crash reports are switched on | The error, the screen you were on, your app version, your phone model and Android version, and a random identifier made on your device | Miora's own server. No other company |
| Open a memory that has coordinates | Map tile addresses, which reveal the area to the tile server | OpenStreetMap Foundation |
| Email a chapter to someone | That chapter's text, through your own mail app | Whoever you address it to |
| Export a PDF or make a book | Nothing. The book is rendered on your device. | — |
These companies act as service providers, processing that data so we can give you a result. Miora's own API server passes those requests through and stores nothing from them: it has no database, and keeps only short-lived counters used to limit abuse. The one thing it does write down is a crash report, to its log, described below.
If Miora fails, the app can send a report so the fault can be found and fixed. A report contains the error, the screen you were on, your app version, your phone model and Android version, and a random identifier created on your device that is not linked to your account or your email.
A crash report never contains any part of your journal — no titles, no stories, no photographs, no voice notes — and never your email address or your location.
Reports are held on your phone and sent the next time you open Miora, so nothing is uploaded while you are using it. They go to Miora's own server. No third-party crash or analytics service is used, and reports are not shared with anyone. They are kept in the server's logs and are not linked to your account, which also means they cannot be looked up or removed for a particular person.
You can turn crash reports off at any time in Your Miora → Help improve Miora, and see exactly what a report contains under What gets shared.
| Permission | Used for | If you decline |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Taking a photograph for a memory | You can still choose photos from your gallery, or write and speak |
| Microphone | Recording a voice note | You can still write, photograph and film |
| Location | Naming the place a memory happened, and its weather | Miora records no place. You can type one yourself, or leave it blank. Nothing is invented |
If you have never tapped “Back up now”, your phone holds the only copy. Uninstalling the app, wiping the phone or losing it takes every memory with it, and we cannot recover them, because we never had them.
Miora is excluded from Android's automatic cloud backup, so your memories are not copied to Google Drive either. Exporting a PDF keeps a readable copy of your stories and photographs, which is worth doing whether or not you back up.
You can delete any memory from within the app, which also removes its photographs and recordings from your phone.
You can delete your whole account from Your account → Delete my account. That removes your account, your backup and every file in it immediately and permanently. It does not erase the journal on your phone — those memories stay with you until you delete them or uninstall Miora. Full instructions, including what to do if you cannot open the app, are on the account deletion page.
Data sent to the service providers above is handled under their own retention terms, which you can read in their privacy policies.
Miora is not directed at children and is not intended for anyone under 18.
If what Miora does with your information changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top will say when. Miora is early software, and features described here may change.
