Privacy

take is a recorder and editor for your Mac, with a companion app for your iPhone. It has no account, no analytics and no tracking. What you record stays on your devices.

Camera, microphone, speech

take uses the camera and microphone only while you record or frame a shot, and writes the recordings to a folder you choose on your Mac or to the take app on your iPhone. The teleprompter follows your voice with Apple’s speech recognition, set to run on the device: what you say is not sent anywhere.

iPhone and Mac

The iPhone app shows the teleprompter and records takes. Finished takes go to take on your Mac over your own Wi-Fi, only after you allow that iPhone on the Mac. Nothing passes through a server of ours; there is none.

Posting

If you connect an Upload-Post account and post a video, take sends that video, its caption and its cover to Upload-Post, which passes them to the platforms you pick (for example Instagram or YouTube). Their privacy policies apply to what they receive. Your key is kept in the Mac’s Keychain. Nothing is posted without your yes in take.

Updates and fonts

With “Check for updates” on (it is off by default), take asks take.ante.design once a day for the latest version number: one request, no cookies, nothing sent but the request itself. When you add a font from Google Fonts, take downloads it from Google.

This website

take.ante.design is hosted by Vercel, which keeps standard server logs (such as IP address and time of a request) to deliver and protect the site. The site sets no cookies and uses no analytics.
