Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 3, 2026

The music is made on your Mac. The chat is the one part of Layrs that goes online: your chat messages are sent to the AI company whose API key you add in Settings (Anthropic or OpenAI), so the assistant can answer. Everything else stays on your Mac.

What the chat sends, and to whom

The chat runs on your own API key from Anthropic (anthropic.com) or OpenAI (openai.com), which you paste into Layrs’s Settings. The key is kept in your Mac’s Keychain. When you save it, the app sends that company one request carrying only the key, to check that it works. When you send a message in a session, the app sends one request over HTTPS to that company. The request contains:

• the assistant’s instructions, which are the same for everyone;
• the conversation in that session so far: your messages, including any lyrics or text you type or paste into the chat, and the assistant’s earlier replies and recipes (only the most recent part of a long chat);
• your API key, in the request header.

The answer, a short message and a recipe, comes back to your Mac and is saved there. The company handles what it receives under its own terms and privacy policy, which you can read on its website, and bills the requests to your account with it. Layrs does not run a server of its own, so nothing passes through us on the way.

What stays on your Mac

Your audio never leaves your Mac through the app: every take, song and sound effect is made on your Mac by the music engines, which work without an internet connection. Your Library, imported recordings, Studio arrangements, exports, settings, and the saved copy of each chat are stored on your Mac and stay there.

What the app does not do

Apart from the chat request above, the app makes no network requests. It has no Layrs account or sign-in, analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, advertising identifiers, license checks, or update checks, and it does not sell your data. This describes the app’s own code as built and checked; it is not a third-party security audit.

Purchases and contact

Layrs is currently sold by inquiry. When you email about a plan, or about anything else, we receive what you send: your email address, your message, and any details you include about your Mac. We use that to reply, confirm availability, and arrange your build. We do not sell it, and we do not share it beyond what is needed to deliver and support your purchase.

If a payment provider is used to complete a purchase, it processes your card or payment details under its own privacy policy. Layrs does not receive or store card details. The provider is named before you pay.

This website

This website has no analytics and sets no tracking cookies. Fonts are served from this website without requests to an external font service. Interactive previews use recordings served by this website. Audio loads when you play or export a recording, or hover an enabled title letter after your browser allows sound. Mixing, trimming and WAV exports happen in your browser. The optional voice file in the podcast demo is decoded locally and is never uploaded; remove it or reload the page to clear it. Starter messages are text you can edit and copy; nothing you type there is sent anywhere, and the music is made in the Mac app. Your title-sound preference is kept in this tab’s session storage.

Where your data lives

Everything you make with Layrs, and the saved copy of every chat, is stored locally on your Mac, in the app's own folder. You can delete any of it at any time from within the app, or by removing the app's data. Deleting a chat on your Mac does not delete what was already sent to Anthropic or OpenAI.

Children

Layrs is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
