Encrypted sync between your devices

What syncs, and what never does

• Syncs: your own words, which built-in term lists and terms you turned off, and four settings: the language you speak, the clean-up on or off, the AI provider and the model.
• Never syncs: your AI keys, hotkeys, microphone, speech model, Enter rules, the licence and everything else.

Turning it on

1. 1
   Open Sync in Settings
   Choose Turn on sync. It needs a paid licence; a trial licence does not include it.
2. 2
   Save your recovery code
   SayFeather shows one code, once. Write it down or put it in your password manager, then tick I saved it. See Recovery code.

Adding another device

1. 1
   A phone
   On a device that already syncs, choose Add a device. A QR code shows for two minutes. Scan it with SayFeather on the phone, or type the recovery code instead. Only let your own phone scan it.
2. 2
   A computer
   Choose Join with a code and type or paste the recovery code. A computer does not scan a QR code.

Turning it off and deleting your data

Choose Turn off sync. Tick Also delete the copy on the server to remove the encrypted copy at once; that works without a licence too. Every device keeps its own words and settings. An account that has not been used for 400 days is deleted anyway.

Export and import

Under Sync in Settings, Export saves your words and settings as a file and Import adds those of such a file to a device. Importing only adds and never removes anything. It is free, and also a backup. The file is not encrypted, so keep it like your other personal files.

How private is it?

The encryption key is made from your recovery code and never leaves your devices. Our server holds an encrypted blob that it cannot open, linked to a random number and the public licence number, not to your name or email address.
