Your memos live on your device.

Ramble is built so that it works without sending your words to us. This page explains, in plain language, what stays on your device and what can leave it.
| Data | Where it lives | Who can read it | How to delete |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memos, to-dos, projects | Where it lives This device Stored in your browser (IndexedDB). No account needed. | Who can read itAnyone with access to this browser profile. | How to deleteUse Delete all data in Settings, or clear this site’s browser data. |
| Organizing | Where it lives This device To-dos, ideas, decisions, highlights and topics are found by code running in your browser. | Who can read itAnyone who can read the memo can read its filed items. | How to deleteDelete the memo to remove its filed items, or use Delete all data in Settings. |
| Uploaded audio | Where it lives This device Whisper transcribes the file inside your browser. Its model downloads once from Hugging Face. Saved audio follows the sync setting below. | Who can read itAnyone with access to this browser profile when saved locally. | How to deleteDelete the local memo to remove its saved audio. The original uploaded file is unchanged. |
| Live transcription | Where it lives Your browser’s speech service Live transcription uses your browser’s speech service, which may process audio on the browser maker’s servers. | Who can read itYour browser’s speech provider may process the audio; Ramble does not run that service. | How to deleteDelete the saved memo in Ramble. For audio processed by the speech service, consult that provider’s retention and deletion policy. |
| Sync | Where it lives Not on this site Cross-device sync isn’t set up on this site, so your journal stays in this browser. Live transcription is still the exception above. Run your own copy with a Supabase project to sync across devices. | Who can read itNo synced copy is stored by this site. | How to deleteThere is no synced copy to delete. Use Delete all data in Settings for this browser’s journal. |
Without an account
Memos, transcripts, audio, to-dos, ideas, decisions, projects and mood check-ins are stored in your browser’s local database (IndexedDB) on this device. Your last few searches and a local error log (no memo text) are kept in the browser’s local storage. Ramble has no copy of any of them, and Delete all data in Settings clears them too.
Organizing (finding to-dos, ideas, decisions, open questions, highlights and topics, and filing memos into projects) is done by code running in your browser.
Transcription
Uploaded audio files are transcribed by the Whisper speech model, which is downloaded once and runs inside your browser.
Your data, your call
You can export everything to a JSON file at any time, import it elsewhere, or clear it from the device. Ramble is open source under the MIT License, so you can check every claim on this page in the source code.
