Too Fast measures how fast you speak. It does that on your own device and keeps nothing you say.

Your voice

The microphone is analysed live, on the device it belongs to: your Mac, your iPhone, or the browser tab you opened. Only numbers come out of it, such as syllables per second.
Audio is never recorded, saved or uploaded. There is no server that receives it.
You need to allow microphone access. You can turn it off any time in your system settings.

What is stored

Mac app: your settings, your calibration and a summary of each session (pace over time, no audio), in the app's own folder on your Mac.
iPhone app: your settings and calibration on the phone.
Browser version: your settings in the browser's local storage on that device.

None of it is sent to us. We do not run accounts, analytics or advertising.

Mac, iPhone and Watch together

When the iPhone follows your Mac, the readings travel over your local network. They are protected by a six digit pairing code that only your Mac shows. Anyone without the code cannot see or control your Mac.
Nothing goes through the internet. The two devices talk to each other directly.
The Apple Watch app starts a workout session so it can keep tapping your wrist while your arm is down. It reads no health data and writes none beyond that session.
The Mac app can ask Keynote or PowerPoint whether a presentation is running, to start on its own. It reads nothing from your slides.
