Changes of 16 October 2026

3. Eligibility and your account

Keep your account credentials to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including anything the agent does on a task you ask for. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has your credentials.

7. The agent, and who is responsible

AirBubble can click and type in other apps on your Mac, so it can do a task for you rather than only describe it. The agent acts in another app only on a task you ask for, spoken or typed. Working directly on your screen is on unless you turn it off. Steps that can be undone, such as opening an app or a site, searching or typing into a field, it takes without asking again. Before a step it recognises as sending, posting, submitting, deleting, accepting or installing something, it asks you once. It can tell by the button's name, by the key, or by what it has just written there; where a button has no name it can read (an icon, a page in Chrome, an app that shows it nothing), it asks only if it takes the step for one itself. It never enters a password, a one-time code or a card number. It stops before paying on a page it recognises as taking money, by the page's address or title, a card field in view or the system's pay sheet; in a browser whose pages it cannot read, only the address and title tell it. Those steps come back to you. Saying stop, pressing Stop or moving your mouse stops a task, and so does switching Let Bubble act off.

You remain responsible for what the agent does on a task you ask for. It acts on your Mac, under your account, with your permissions, on the apps and files you have open. Asking for a task, and saying yes when it asks before a step, is you doing the thing, with the clicks made by software. Treat it the way you would treat handing your keyboard to someone: watch it, and stop it when it is going wrong.

Do not ask the agent for a task that touches money, credentials, personal data belonging to other people, a production system, or anything you cannot undo. We do not ask you to rely on the agent for any of that, and we will not cover the consequences if you do.

6. What the app sends, and when: Notes

Notes. Notetaker sessions are stored on your Mac, and no audio is kept. One tap deletes a session in the app, and it is gone.

6. What the app sends, and when: Recording other people

You are responsible for getting the consent of everyone in a conversation you record or transcribe with AirBubble, wherever the law requires it. In many places, including several US states, everyone taking part must agree before a conversation is recorded or transcribed, and a call can fall under the law of the place where any one of them is. Unless you know the law of every place involved allows less, treat every conversation as needing everyone's agreement.

Tell the people taking part before you take notes. Each time a recording starts, the app reminds you to tell them and offers a notice you can paste into the meeting chat; both are on unless you turn them off in Settings. It shows that it is recording until it stops. The app does not ask anyone for consent on your behalf. Do not record anyone who has said no, stop if someone objects, and never use AirBubble to record a conversation in secret.

People in your conversations who do not use AirBubble can read what it means for them in our notice for people in a recorded conversation.

6. What the app sends, and when: Video editing

Video editing. On Max, when you ask Bubble to edit a recording, its sound is sent to be transcribed and measured, and its transcript to plan the edit. An ordinary edit never sends its picture. A skin touch-up, cutaway shots and a story from many clips send small sheets of still frames to a model to do their work. The edit comes back as a new project on your Mac, or as a movie file you export on your Mac, and your original media is never changed. The privacy policy has the detail.

4. Subscription and billing: Plans

Plans. AirBubble has a Free plan and two paid plans, Pro and Max, each billed monthly or yearly. Video editing is on Max only. Live help while the Notetaker listens and email support are on Pro and Max, with priority support on Max. The plans also differ in how many credits they include each month, as the pricing page shows. Everything else is on every plan. Credits renew every month, on a yearly plan too, and do not roll over. Each plan also has a daily limit, as the acceptable use policy explains. The plans are shown in the app and on our pricing page.

3. What we collect, and when: Agent tasks

The agent acts in another app only on a task you ask for, in your own words, spoken or typed. Steps that can be undone, such as opening an app or a site, searching or typing into a field, it takes without asking again. If you turn on Always approve routine steps, a task the app judges to be routine starts by itself after 5 seconds unless you cancel it. Before a step it recognises as sending, posting, submitting, deleting, accepting or installing something, it asks you once. It can tell by the button’s name, by the key, or by what it has just written there; where a button has no name it can read (an icon, a page in Chrome, an app that shows it nothing), it asks only if it takes the step for one itself. It never types sign-in details, a one-time code or a card number. It stops before paying on a page it recognises as taking money, by the page’s address or title, a card field in view or the system’s pay sheet; in a browser whose pages it cannot read, only the address and title tell it. Those steps need you.

Bubble does each task by screen control: he looks at a screenshot of the display after each step and uses the pointer and the keyboard in front of you. It is on unless you turn it off with Work from screenshots in settings. With it off, the task and the names of the controls in the front window go to Anthropic to plan the steps instead; if an app does not show its controls, he asks whether he may work from the screen, and a yes turns it back on and it stays on. Updating to 1.2.0 turned it on once, even where it was off before. A screen control run starts when you ask for the task. During the run, screenshots of the display the app is on, with everything but that app’s windows and the menu bar blanked out, go through our servers to Anthropic with the task and the app’s name, up to 20 in a run, and the app keeps a log of each step on your Mac. While a notification or Notification Center is on screen, the right half of the display is blanked out too. If macOS draws one further left, over the app’s window, that part can show in a screenshot. A longer task works as a series of runs, each with the same limit. Each time screen control runs, it deletes the days of that log more than 30 days old. Our servers keep that a task ran, how many steps it took and whether it finished, for 90 days. Saying stop, pressing Stop or moving your mouse ends a task while it works, and switching Let Bubble act off stops a task that is already under way.

4. Why we are allowed to process it: your consent

Your consent: microphone access, screen recording permission, accessibility access, each agent task you ask for, and any marketing email. You grant these in macOS or in the app, and you can withdraw any of them without losing the rest of the product.

3. What we collect, and when: Notetaker sessions

The Notetaker records only after you start it, with the one-tap card it offers or with Command + Option + N, and it stops on its own after eight silent minutes. Its audio takes the same path as a held key. To tell apart the people it hears through your Mac’s sound, the app compares how their voices sound, on your Mac and in memory, for that recording only, and it keeps no voiceprint. Your typed Thoughts, the Transcript and the Summary are kept apart, and a model never rewrites your Thoughts.

To name who spoke, the app reads the speaker name Zoom or Teams shows during a call, on your Mac, and the name stays with that line of the transcript. The name comes from the call app, never from a voice.

Each time a recording starts, the app reminds you to let everyone in the conversation know, and offers a notice you can paste into the meeting chat. Both are on unless you turn them off in Settings. It shows that it is recording until it stops. The people you record are covered by our notice for people in a recorded conversation.

Sessions live in the library on your Mac, and our servers keep none of them. One tap in Notes deletes a session, and it leaves the search across your meetings with it.

5. How long we keep it: Notetaker meetings

Notetaker meetings: The audio is never kept, on your Mac or on our servers. Each meeting’s transcript, summary and notes stay on your Mac, encrypted, until you delete them, and one tap deletes a meeting. Our servers keep only how long each recording ran, as a usage record.

3. What we collect, and when: Your screen, when you ask

Neither the app nor our servers save the screenshot. Your recent questions and his answers are kept as text in memory on your Mac, so a follow-up makes sense. Your latest question and his answer may be saved there, encrypted, as a discussion in your Notetaker library until you delete it. Each save replaces the one before, so earlier questions in that discussion are not kept. Our servers keep none of it. Your screen is never recorded as video.

3. What we collect, and when: Video editing

Video editing is part of the Max plan. The edit opens in AirBubble’s own editor, where you can export it as a movie file; it goes to Final Cut Pro only if you choose. When you ask Bubble to edit a recording, the app reads it on your Mac: its length, frame rate, picture size, sound channels and starting timecode, and its sound.

Pictures from your video, for three steps. For a skin touch-up, to find cutaway shots among your other footage, and to shape a story from many clips and check the cut it makes, the app makes small sheets of still frames and sends them, and a model looks at them as pictures: Anthropic, or OpenAI while Anthropic is down. An ordinary edit sends none.

Your original media is never changed. The app writes the edit as a new project file, which links to your media and copies none of it. With it come subtitle files, colour files when the edit changes the colour, and any write-up you asked for. It puts them in a folder named after the recording, inside the folder you chose in settings, which starts as an AirBubble folder in Movies. When it cannot write there, it uses the recording’s own folder. It never writes over a file that is already there. Sending the edit to Final Cut Pro adds it to your library or open project, and leaves the timeline you had open as it was.

The editor plays your recording and shows its frames on your Mac only. When you export from it, the app writes a new movie file, a copy of your picture and sound, where you choose to save it on your Mac, with a captions file beside it if you ask for one. Neither is ever uploaded.

For a story from many clips, each clip’s details. For each clip you give it: the details above and where the file is on your Mac; when it was recorded, with its time zone when the file says; the camera’s model; where it was recorded, as latitude and longitude, when the file holds a location; how it was encoded and any highlight marks the camera saved; and a fingerprint of the file, from its size, its number on your disk and a hash of its first 64 KB. Our servers use the times and locations to put the clips in order and group them into events and places, which are numbered, never named, and no address is looked up. For each song you choose for it: where it is on your Mac, its length and sound format, and numbers measured from it on your Mac, its beats, pitch and loudness over time, never the song itself, to cut the story to it. A model is given each camera’s model and each event’s day, times and place number, never a location or where a file is. Our servers keep none of it between steps.

3. What we collect, and when: Your screen, when you ask

When you name a folder of documents in a question, such as “use the documents in my Q3 folder”, or say “this folder” with one open in Finder, the app reads the files in it on your Mac and sends from them with that question, the same way: the whole folder’s text if it comes to 40 KB or less; otherwise the passages that answer your question, up to 20 KB, or the start of each document, up to 40 KB in all, when you ask about the whole folder or nothing in it matches; and the names of the files it read and of those it left out, up to 500 of each. For 30 minutes, a follow-up question uses the same folder, sent the same way. When you ask for something to be made from the folder, its passages go with that task instead, up to 24,000 characters. A folder you name it looks for only in your Knowledge folder, Desktop, Documents and Downloads. “This folder” is the one open in the front Finder window: a folder in your home folder, iCloud Drive or another cloud drive, never your home folder itself, the rest of Library or a hidden folder, and nothing is searched for it. It skips hidden files and ones that look like passwords or keys, and files kept only in the cloud are not read or downloaded, here or in your Knowledge folder; the app tells you how many it left out.

10. Your rights, and how to use them: Erase and quit

In an emergency, press command + shift + E. AirBubble stops listening and speaking, closes its window and quits, and on the way out deletes the conversations and Notetaker sessions it saved since you opened it, the notes, the meeting description and the recap of a Notetaker session still in progress, the screen control log, every video edit’s records and working files, any recording’s sound it had unpacked, the search index of your knowledge files, what it kept of a folder of documents you used and what its window keeps in its own storage. Settings lists it as Erase and quit, under Shortcuts, where you can change the keys. It works on your Mac only: to have what our servers hold deleted, write to us as above.

10. Your rights, and how to use them: each account on your Mac

Each account that signs in on your Mac has its own Notetaker library, profile, Knowledge folder, projects, dictionary of names and words and what you have told Bubble about yourself, and the app shows each account only its own. Signing out deletes none of it, and it is there again when that account signs back in. Each account sees, opens and carries on only its own video edits. The app’s encrypted record of each edit is kept in one place on the Mac for every account, and is deleted as the cookies page says.

3. What we collect, and when: Your screen, when you ask

If you select text and ask about it or ask for a change, the selected text and your words go to Anthropic. When text is selected in a field you can type in and you ask Bubble to do something, the selected text is sent with your request even if the request turns out to be about something else; nothing in that text is changed then. Text in a password field is never read.

12. This website: feedback from the home page

If you send us feedback from the home page, we keep what you write, and your email address if you give one, for 12 months, to learn what people want from AirBubble. Nothing else about your visit is kept with it. If you tick the Windows box, we also use that email to tell you when the Windows version is ready, and you can ask us to remove it at any time.

6. What never becomes stored data: Agent tasks

Agent tasks. The agent acts only on a task you ask for, in your own words. Steps that can be undone, such as opening an app or a site, searching or typing into a field, it takes without asking again. If you turn on Always approve routine steps, a task the app judges to be routine starts by itself after 5 seconds unless you cancel it. Before a step it recognises as sending, posting, submitting, deleting, accepting or installing something, it asks you once. It never types sign-in details, a one-time code or a card number, and it stops before paying on any page it can tell takes money. Those steps need you. Screen control, where it does each task from screenshots of the display it is working on, is on unless you turn it off. Updating to 1.2.0 turned it on once, even where it was off before. With it on, it keeps a log of each step on your Mac, and each time it runs it deletes the days of that log more than 30 days old. Our servers keep that a task ran, how many steps it took and whether it finished, for 90 days.

5. What the app keeps on your Mac: Settings

Your preferences: which chords are bound, whether Let Bubble act is on, voice and output choices, and whether the Notetaker offers itself.

5. What the app keeps on your Mac: Recent conversation

Text from your turns with Bubble: the question you asked, the answer that was spoken, what he marked on screen. The app holds your recent turns in memory so a follow-up question still makes sense, and may save your latest question and his answer, encrypted, as a discussion in your Notetaker library. Each save replaces the one before, so earlier questions in that discussion are not kept. It holds no screen images.

5. What the app keeps on your Mac: Documents index

Documents index

Text the app takes from your documents, with an index to find passages in it quickly. For your Knowledge folder it is kept in a hidden folder inside it; for a folder you name or have open in Finder, in the app’s own data for your account, never inside that folder.

For a folder you name or have open, its text is deleted the next time the app starts once it is 30 days old, or when you use Erase and quit, and its index lasts 30 minutes, in memory. For your Knowledge folder, until it is rebuilt, until you use Erase and quit, or until you delete the folder.

5. What the app keeps on your Mac: Video edit records

Video edit records

Each record is deleted the next time the app starts once it has gone 30 days without a change. The part kept with your account (where an edit’s files are and how far it got) is deleted the next time the app is used with your account signed in.

The agent acts as you

Once you ask for a task, the clicks and keystrokes come from your account, on your machine, with the permissions you granted. What it does, you did.

5. What you may not ask the agent to do

The agent acts only on a task you ask for, and asks you once before a step it recognises as sending, posting, submitting, deleting, accepting or installing something. Working directly on your screen is on unless you turn it off. Switching Let Bubble act off stops a task already under way. Your request decides whether the agent may act at all. It does not decide whether what you ask it to do is allowed. This clause does.

Asking for a task, or saying yes when it asks before a step, is not permission from the service on the other side. It says you want it to happen; it does not make the action allowed where it was not.

12. How we enforce this

we turn off a capability, most often Let Bubble act, the switch that lets him act for you, and leave the rest of the account working;

Consent belongs to the people in the room

The Notetaker records because you started it. Telling the other people in the discussion, and getting their agreement, is your job. The app reminds you each time and gives you a notice to share, unless you turn them off, but it does not ask anyone on your behalf.

4. Recording a discussion

The Notetaker records when you start it, and stops on its own after eight silent minutes. You start it with the one-tap card it offers, or with Command + Option + N. Whether recording a particular discussion is lawful depends on where each person in it is sitting and on who has agreed. That is yours to settle before you start it, and the terms make you responsible for it. Unless you know the law of every place involved allows less, treat every discussion as needing everyone's agreement.

Each time a recording starts, the app reminds you to let everyone know and offers a short notice to paste into the meeting chat, with a link to our notice for the people in it. Both are on unless you turn them off in Settings. It shows that it is recording until it stops. It does not announce the recording itself: tell people before you start, and stop if anyone objects.

9. Fair use

Every plan has a daily limit on talking, dictation and notes: up to 100 credits a day on Free, 300 on Pro and 1,200 on Max. Tasks count against the month only.

3. macOS permissions: Accessibility

The agent uses it to click and type for you, and only for a task you asked for.

5. The agent

The agent acts only on your own request. A web page, a document or another app cannot ask for you. Switch Let Bubble act off and a task that is under way stops, even halfway through a step.

Let Bubble act is switched on

You asked for this task, in your own words

Before a step it recognises as sending, posting, submitting, deleting, accepting or installing something, it asks you once. It can tell by the button's name, by the key, or by what it has just written there; where a button has no name it can read (an icon, a page in Chrome, an app that shows it nothing), it asks only if it takes the step for one itself. It never types a password, a one-time code or a card number, and it stops before paying on any page it can tell takes money.

A task starts from your own words, said or typed. Always approve routine steps, which lets a routine task start by itself after 5 seconds, ships switched off; turning it on is your decision.

7. Coordinated disclosure: in scope

The agent. Anything that makes it act on something you did not ask for, send, post or delete without asking you, type a password or pay, or act while Let Bubble act is off.

1. In flight and at rest: At rest on your Mac

Your notes are stored in AirBubble's own folder on your Mac, under your user account, and protected by FileVault if you have it switched on. Screenshots are not kept. Your recent questions to Bubble and his answers are held in memory, so a follow-up makes sense. Your latest question and his answer may be saved, encrypted, as a discussion in your Notetaker library until you delete it. Each save replaces the one before, so earlier questions in that discussion are not kept.

3. macOS permissions: more, only if you use what needs them

More, only if you use what needs them. When AirBubble types text for you, as dictation does, macOS may ask whether it can control System Events. When you ask Bubble to edit a video, it may ask whether AirBubble can control Final Cut Pro, so it can see which libraries and projects are open. When you say “this folder”, it may ask whether AirBubble can control Finder, so it can read which folder the front Finder window shows; choose Don’t Allow and you can say the folder’s name instead. When you choose a knowledge folder, or use documents or a video kept in your Desktop, Documents or Downloads, macOS asks whether AirBubble can open that folder. If you connect your calendar so the Notetaker can spot a meeting, it asks to read your calendar, and the events are read on your Mac. AirBubble does not ask for Full Disk Access, contacts, photos, location or your keychain, and it installs no kernel extension. If a future release needs a permission that is not on this page, we will add it here before that release ships.

A new page: Notice for People in a Recorded Conversation

Someone in a conversation with you is taking notes with AirBubble. You do not need an account, and nothing is asked of you. This page says what it means for you.

1. What happens to what you say

AirBubble records only after the person using it starts it, and it shows them that it is recording until it stops. While it runs, it hears the conversation through their Mac and turns what is said into a written transcript, then a summary. The speech goes to the transcription and model services listed on our subprocessors page to do that.

The notes can label what you said with your name, as the call app shows it.

The person recording is responsible for getting your agreement wherever the law requires it. Our terms say so, and the app reminds them each time.

2. What is kept, and where

No audio is kept, on their Mac or on our servers.

The transcript and the summary stay on the Mac of the person who recorded, encrypted, until they delete them. One tap deletes a conversation.

Our servers keep none of the conversation. They keep only how long the recording ran, as a usage record on the account of the person who recorded.

3. What is never done

We do not train models on what you say, and neither do the services that transcribe and summarise it.

AirBubble keeps no voiceprint of you and never recognises you from one conversation to the next. Within one recording, it tells voices apart by how they sound, on the Mac and in memory only, and forgets that when the recording stops.

We do not sell what you say, or use it for advertising.

AirBubble never hides that it is running. It appears on screen like any other app.

4. What you can ask for

If you would rather not be recorded, say so to the person taking notes. They can stop, and they can delete the notes with one tap.

We hold none of the conversation, so the notes can only be deleted on their Mac. For anything else, write to privacy@airbubble.io and we will answer. Our privacy policy has the full detail.
