Who runs Otti

Otti is a small app that August runs for a group of friends. It isn't sold, and there are no ads.

What Otti keeps

The things you save: pictures, videos, links, notes, recordings, fonts and Boards, with the labels and notes that go with them.

Your account: your email address, and the name and profile picture your Google or Apple account shares. Otti doesn't ask for anything else.

Where it's kept

Online, in a private database and file store run by Supabase, so your phone and this website can reach your library. Only your account can open your things there.

On your Mac, in the library folder you choose, with everything downloaded.

On your iPhone: small previews of everything, and the full-size pictures you open.

Who can see it

Only you. Nobody else who uses Otti can see or change anything of yours.

As the person running the service, August can technically reach the online copy. He doesn't look at your things, except to fix a problem you've asked him about.

AI

To label and describe what you save, Otti sends the picture or text to Anthropic's Claude. Recordings are sent to OpenAI to be written out as text.

Under their API terms, these companies don't use what's sent to them to train their models.

Each account has a monthly AI allowance. When it's used up, your things are still saved; they're just labeled later.

Cookies

Otti only uses the cookie that keeps you signed in. No tracking, no analytics cookies.

Deleting your account

Settings → Account → Delete my account removes your account and everything of yours online, straight away.

Your Mac's library folder is on your Mac: it stays there until you delete it yourself.
