Requirements

Microphone Permission

Life Tape needs microphone access to record your voice. Recording will not function if permission is denied, but all other features remain available.

Internet Connection

Transcription, titling, and Life Weave generation require an internet connection. Life Tape will notify you if a feature is unavailable offline.

Account

An account is required to store and sync your memories across sessions and devices. Your data is tied to your account, not your device.
