Didion

Support

Didion turns what you say into notes that organise themselves. If something isn't working, or you just want to ask, write to me directly — one person reads it.

Common questions

Where are my notes stored?

On your phone. There's no account and no server holding them, which also means I can't recover them for you if the app is deleted. Use Settings → Back Up Notes to save a copy wherever you like, and Restore from Backup to bring it back.

Does my voice get uploaded?

No. Transcription runs on the phone itself. The audio never leaves the device. The text of a note is sent to Google's Gemini API to tidy it up and pull out your tasks — that's covered in the privacy policy.

Why does it download 547 MB the first time?

That's the speech model that lets transcription run on your phone instead of on a server. It downloads once, over Wi-Fi, and then works offline forever. It's the price of your voice not leaving the device.

Dictation isn't working

Check the banner at the top of the notes list — if the model is still downloading, transcription can't run yet. Otherwise, make sure Didion has microphone permission in iOS Settings.

My notes aren't being turned into tasks

Task extraction needs a connection. If you were offline when the note was saved, open the note again once you're back online and it'll try again.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by me. On your iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Didion → Cancel. It stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.

Notes you've already written stay readable and exportable after cancelling. You won't be locked out of your own writing.

I subscribed but the app still asks me to

Tap Restore purchases on the subscription screen. If that doesn't work, check you're signed in with the same Apple ID you bought it on, then email me.

I paid on my old phone

Subscriptions follow your Apple ID. Install Didion on the new phone, open it, and tap Restore purchases. Your notes are separate — bring those across with Back Up Notes and Restore from Backup.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple, not by me. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
