Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 September 2026 · Applies to the 2Reply apps for
Android (com.vibetuned.to_reply) and iPhone / iPad
(com.vibetuned.toreply)
Short version: 2Reply collects nothing about you. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking — on either platform. The Android app doesn't even hold the internet permission, and the iPhone / iPad app contains no networking code at all, so neither can send anything anywhere. Everything you import and every position you save stays on your device.
1. Who we are
2Reply ("the app") is developed by vibetuned ("we", "us"). It is an
offline rehearsal player for theatrical plays — a fully-voiced .m4b
recording plus a timed play.json script — available for Android and for
iPhone / iPad. This policy covers both apps and explains what they do and do
not do with your information.
2. Data we collect
None. The apps do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. We operate no servers and have no accounts, sign-in, or user profiles. We cannot see your plays, your rehearsal activity, or anything else about how you use them. Unlike most apps, the Android build declares no internet permission, so the operating system itself prevents it from making network connections; the iPhone / iPad build contains no networking code and opens no connections of any kind. Its App Store privacy declaration is Data Not Collected.
3. Data the app stores on your device
To work as a rehearsal player, the app stores the following locally on your device only, inside its own private storage:
- Imported plays — copies of the
.m4brecording andplay.jsonscript you add, plus extracted metadata such as the title and cover art. - Rehearsal state — your playback position per play and the characters you chose to rehearse, kept in the app's local database.
- Settings — preferences such as the text-hiding drill toggles.
- Nothing else. There is no usage history, no crash log, and no identifier of any kind.
This data never leaves your device. Uninstalling the app removes it (see Device backups below).
4. Permissions and why we use them
On Android:
- Foreground service / media playback — lets playback continue in the background with controls in the system media notification and lock screen.
- Post notifications — shows the media-playback notification.
- Wake lock — keeps the device awake enough to continue playing audio while the screen is off (and keeps the screen on while a play is playing).
On iPhone / iPad:
- Background audio — the standard iOS background-audio mode lets playback, and the rehearsal muting that goes with it, continue when the screen locks, with controls on the lock screen and in Control Centre.
- That is the only entitlement the app uses. It asks for no runtime permissions at all — the bundle contains no permission-request strings, so iOS never shows you a prompt.
That is the complete list on both platforms. In particular, neither app requests internet, location, camera, microphone, or contacts access. Rehearsal muting works by silencing playback — the app never records you, and cannot: it has no microphone access on either platform.
5. File access
On Android the app uses the Storage Access Framework (SAF); on iPhone / iPad it uses the system document picker (the Files app), and you can also share a recording or a script to it from Files or AirDrop. Either way, you pick the two files to import; the app only accesses what you explicitly select, copies them into its own private storage, and never touches the originals again. It does not scan your device storage or browse files on its own, and it keeps no ongoing permission to the files you picked.
6. Third parties
The apps contain no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting, or tracking SDKs. If you import a file stored with a cloud provider (such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud Drive), that transfer is handled by your platform (Android's SAF or Apple's Files app) and the provider you chose, under their own privacy policies. We are not involved in and do not receive anything from that transfer beyond the file you selected.
7. Device backups
The apps allow the platforms' standard backups. On Android, Auto Backup may back the app's data up to your own Google account; on iPhone / iPad, the app's data may be included in your own iCloud or computer backups. These are functions of your device and your Google / Apple account, governed by their privacy policies — not something we operate or can access.
8. Children's privacy
The apps are general-purpose rehearsal tools and are not directed at children. Because they collect no personal data from anyone, they collect none from children.
9. Changes to this policy
If either app's behaviour changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date above.
