Privacy policy
Last updated: 12 November 2026
Nutstash is an iPhone app that sorts your screenshots into topics and lists. It is made by gosu.team ("we", "our", "us"). This policy explains what the app does with your data, what leaves your phone, and how to delete it.
The short version
- Your screenshots never leave your iPhone. Reading, sorting, translating and searching all happen on the device.
- Nutstash opens only your screenshots, never your other photos.
- There are no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.
- If you subscribe, Apple and our subscription provider, RevenueCat, record the purchase. That is the only data that leaves the phone.
- Deleting the app deletes everything Nutstash stored.
1. Your photos and screenshots
Nutstash asks for access to your photo library because iOS has no way for an app to ask for screenshots alone. Once you allow it, the app looks only at images that iOS marks as screenshots. It does not open, read or analyse your other photos or videos.
For each screenshot, the app uses features built into iOS on your iPhone:
- Text recognition (Apple's Vision framework) to read the words on the screenshot.
- Image recognition (Vision) to describe what the picture shows, for example "a cat" or "a document".
- Apple Intelligence's on-device model, when available, to choose a topic and a short title. Nutstash does not use Apple's Private Cloud Compute or any other server for this.
- On-device translation (Apple's Translation framework), when a screenshot is in a language the model doesn't read. Language packs are downloaded by iOS from Apple; the text itself is translated on your iPhone.
The screenshots stay in your Photos library. Nutstash does not copy them.
2. What the app stores
To show your topics, lists and search results, Nutstash keeps a small database on your iPhone with, for each screenshot:
- an identifier that points to the screenshot in your Photos library, and the date it was taken;
- the text read from it, and a translation when one was made;
- its topic, title, and names such as a film, book or place;
- what you did with it: done, dismissed, moved to the top, or moved to another topic.
The app also stores a few settings on your iPhone, such as whether you've finished onboarding and whether check-in notifications are on.
This data is stored only on your iPhone. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, it is included in that backup the same way as other apps' data, under Apple's terms.
3. Notifications
If you allow notifications, Nutstash may send a reminder the day before a free trial ends, a note when a long sort finishes, and an occasional check-in that suggests one film, book, place or recipe you saved. These are scheduled on your iPhone. No notification content passes through our servers.
4. Subscriptions and payments
Nutstash Pro is sold through the App Store. Apple processes the payment under Apple's privacy policy; we never see your name, Apple Account or card details.
We use RevenueCat to check whether you have an active subscription. To do that, the app shares with RevenueCat:
- a random identifier created by the app, not linked to your name or Apple Account;
- your purchase and subscription history from the App Store (product, dates, renewal status, country and currency);
- basic technical information such as the app version, iOS version and device model, and your IP address as part of the connection.
RevenueCat processes this on our behalf and may not use it for its own purposes. Nothing about your screenshots is shared with RevenueCat or anyone else.
5. What we do not collect
Nutstash does not collect or receive your screenshots or their text, your other photos, your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, advertising identifier, or any analytics or usage data. There are no advertising, analytics or tracking tools in the app.
6. How long data is kept
The database on your iPhone is kept until you delete the app; deleting the app deletes it. Deleting a screenshot from Photos also removes it from Nutstash.
Purchase records are kept by Apple and RevenueCat for as long as needed to provide the subscription and as required by tax and accounting law.
7. Children
Nutstash is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete personal data, to object to or restrict its use, and to complain to your data protection authority. Because almost all Nutstash data stays on your iPhone, you control it directly: deleting the app removes it. For subscription records, email legal@gosu.team and we'll help you with RevenueCat. We answer within 30 days.
9. Changes to this policy
If we change what the app collects or how it uses data, we will update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will be announced in the app.
