Short version

Pink Reel is a micro-film editor. You write and edit a narration script (Apple's on-device Foundation Models can draft one for you), build a storyboard of up to three scenes (painted on-device via Apple's Image Playground or chosen from clean backdrops), cast a narrator from the system voices via Apple's built-in AVSpeechSynthesizer, and AVAssetWriter composes the finished MP4 locally. The MP4 files, scripts, scene images, and thumbnails stay on your device. No script text, no audio clip, and no generated image ever leaves your phone. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that contact a server. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

Pink Reel is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password - the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No camera access. The app never opens the camera.
• No microphone access. The narration is synthesized by Apple's text-to-speech voices; the app does not record audio of any kind.
• No photos library access. The app never reads your camera roll.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

iOS permissions the app requests

Pink Reel requests no sensitive iOS permissions. System voices used for narration are part of iOS and require no permission prompt. Image Playground is presented through a system-provided sheet that runs in its own process; it does not require Pink Reel to hold any permission.

What stays on your device

• Your micro-film entries: the narration script text, the scene images in your storyboard, the MP4 filename, the thumbnail image data, the duration in seconds, and the created-at timestamp. Stored in on-device SwiftData records.
• The composed MP4 video files themselves, written to the app's sandboxed Documents directory by AVAssetWriter.
• The date the app was first launched and how many free films have been used. Stored in UserDefaults.

All of the above lives on your device and never leaves it. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

On-device generation (Apple Intelligence)

Script drafting uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models, accessed through the public LanguageModelSession API on iOS 26. This model executes on your iPhone's Neural Engine. The idea text you type is passed to the model in-process and never leaves the device; you can also skip the draft entirely and write the script yourself. The app does not use Apple's Private Cloud Compute fallback for this feature.

Painted storyboard scenes use Apple's Image Playground, presented as a system sheet. Each scene it produces is handed back to the app and written into the MP4. Image generation runs on-device on Apple Intelligence-capable hardware. You can also build scenes from clean backdrops without any generation.

Narration uses Apple's built-in AVSpeechSynthesizer. The narrator voice you cast reads your script locally; no audio is recorded, and no audio is uploaded.

Composition uses Apple's AVAssetWriter to combine your scenes and the synthesized narration into a single MP4 file on disk. The whole pipeline runs on your device.

The AI-assisted steps (script drafts and painted scenes) require iOS 26 or later on an Apple Intelligence-capable device (iPhone with A17 Pro or newer, iPad with M1 or newer). On other devices, the app shows a clear notice that those assists are unavailable.

In-app purchases

If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Free vs Pro

Free use is capped at three micro-films lifetime. Pro unlocks unlimited micro-films plus export extras, including per-film MP4 export to the system share sheet.

Family Sharing

Pink Reel Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Reel is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Reel does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke all access and remove all on-device state, simply delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device (for example, cloud sync of your micro-films), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
