imi is a study buddy that looks at your screen when you ask it something. That means you trust it with a lot, so here is exactly what happens, in plain words.

What imi sees

• Only when you ask. imi takes a screenshot of your screen, or the area you boxed, at the moment you ask a question. It never watches in the background.
• The screenshot and the text on it are sent to our server and to the AI model that writes the answer (OpenAI or Anthropic). Screenshots are never stored. They are used for that one answer and then thrown away.
• Your voice. When you speak, imi turns it into text, on your Mac first when it can, otherwise with OpenAI's speech-to-text. The audio is not stored.

What imi keeps

• Your email address, so you can sign in with a code. No password.
• Your chats: the text of your questions and what imi said, so you can reopen a chat and carry on.
• Study notes: short summaries of your sessions, the topics you studied and how well you know them, so imi can pick up where you left off.
• Usage: how many questions you asked each day and what they cost us, for the daily limit.
• Feedback you send: thumbs up or down, and problem reports. A report includes recent app logs only if you choose to send one.

What we never do

• We don't sell your data or show you ads.
• We don't use your chats to train AI models. The AI providers we use don't train on data sent through their API by default.
• imi never clicks or types on your Mac without asking you first.

Deleting things

• Delete any chat from Chats in the imi panel.
• Forget a topic, or everything imi remembers, from History.
• Account → Delete account erases your account and everything above, right away.

Who helps us run imi

OpenAI and Anthropic (writing answers, voice and speech-to-text), our database host (where chats and study notes live) and Resend (sign-in emails). They only get what they need to do that job.
