Linnet collects nothing.

Last updated 14 November 2026.

There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking in Linnet. I can't see what you save, read, highlight or listen to, because none of it is ever sent to me. There is no Linnet server.

Your library

Articles, PDFs, images, highlights, notes, folders and settings are stored on your device. If iCloud is on, they sync between your devices through your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit. Apple runs that sync under its own privacy policy; I have no access to it.

Saving articles

When you save a link, your device downloads that page and its images directly from the website, much as Safari would. The website sees an ordinary request from your device. Nothing passes through anyone else.

Listening

Read-aloud uses Apple's voices on your device. Your text is not sent anywhere.

Highlight review, reminders and notifications

Review schedules are worked out and stored on your device. If you turn them on, Linnet adds items to a list in Apple Reminders and schedules notifications on your device. Widgets and the Lock Screen listening display read the same on-device data.

Purchases

The free trial and Linnet Lifetime are handled entirely by Apple. I receive no personal or payment details, only Apple's anonymous sales figures.

This website

readlinnet.app uses no cookies, analytics or third-party scripts, and its fonts are served from the site itself. It's hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which, like any web host, handles basic connection details such as your IP address to deliver the page and protect it from abuse. I don't use that information.

Children

Linnet doesn't collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date above will change too, and the app's behaviour will never be changed to collect data without a clear notice first. Questions: hello@readlinnet.app.
