Microphone
Needed to record voice notes. Without microphone access, tellmint cannot capture audio.
Notifications
Used for reminders, task alerts, and optional digests. If you deny notifications, entries still save, but you will not receive reminder alerts.
Exact alarms
Used so reminders fire at the time you set. Android may show this as a separate system permission on newer versions.
Media or storage
Used for local audio handling and exports. On older Android versions this can look broader because Android's old storage model is broader. On newer Android versions, access is more scoped.
Boot completed
Used to restore scheduled reminders after your phone restarts.
Good to know
- Permissions do not give humans access to your journal.
- You can change permissions later in Android settings.
- Raw audio is deleted from the cloud after processing.
- Local audio files are cleaned automatically, and you can clear them from Settings → Storage.
