The short version
Ohm Studio collects no data. None.
No analytics. No telemetry. No account. No personal data. No usage metrics. No error beacons. No advertising IDs. No fingerprinting. No crash reports. No data of any kind is collected, stored, transmitted, or shared by Ohm Studio about you, your device, or your activity.
Supported text-to-music generation runs on your Mac or iPad. Mac adapter training, stem separation, analysis, and lyrics workflows stay on your Mac. Both platforms use on-device Apple frameworks and locally stored model assets. There is no cloud inference component, hosted server, or Ohm Studio account.
What we don't have, and therefore never see
Because Ohm Studio has no server-side component, the following do not exist anywhere in our infrastructure (and our infrastructure consists of: nothing):
- Your name, email, phone, or address.
- Your IP address, device identifier, MAC address, or any other hardware fingerprint.
- Your prompts, lyrics, generated audio, reference audio, training datasets, trained LoRA adapters, or any other content you produce in the app.
- Microphone recordings.
- The contents of your Documents, Downloads, Desktop, or any other folder.
- Session timing, feature usage, button clicks, or any other behavioural data.
- Crash reports. Ohm Studio does not implement a crash-reporting SDK.
We never see any of this because none of it is ever sent. The app does not phone home, ever.
Outbound traffic you initiate
Three classes of outbound network traffic can originate from your device while Ohm Studio is running. None of them go to Ohm Studio. All of them are user-initiated:
- Model weight downloads. The first time you choose to install a model, the app downloads the relevant checkpoint from the public repository disclosed before transfer. On iPad, the supported ACE-Step 1.5 assets come from a pinned Hugging Face revision. No Silo account is required, and the app verifies required assets before making them available.
- App Store updates.When Apple ships an Ohm Studio update, the App Store delivers it. This traffic is between your device and Apple's servers, governed by Apple's privacy policy. Ohm Studio is not involved.
- Links you click. If you click an external link inside the app (for example, opening this privacy policy), your default browser handles the request. Ohm Studio is not involved.
On-device data you create
The audio you generate, the datasets you assemble, the adapters you train, the lyrics you draft, and your local preferences live on your disk under ~/Library/Containers/com.ohmstudio.app/Data/Library/Application Support/Ohm/ (plus any folders you explicitly choose). They are yours. We do not have access to them. Deleting Ohm Studio removes the app; your work remains under its container until you delete it manually.
Children's privacy
Ohm Studio is rated 4+ on the App Store. Because no personal data is collected from any user, no special treatment is required for users under 13. Same policy applies regardless of age: nothing collected.
Third-party services
Ohm Studio uses these open-source components and public services. None of them receive any data about you from Ohm Studio:
- ACE-Step 1.5 (open-weights music model, MIT): runs locally.
- MLX(Apple's array framework): runs locally.
- librosa (audio analysis): runs locally.
- Ultimate Vocal Remover models (stem separation): runs locally.
- Declared public model repositories: contacted only when you choose to download a model checkpoint. iPad setup uses the pinned Hugging Face revision shown before transfer.
Changes
If we ever materially change how Ohm Studio handles data (for example, if a future version of the app begins to collect anything at all) we will publish an updated version of this page, announce the change prominently in the release notes, and require explicit consent in-app before any new collection begins. The effective date at the top of this document reflects the current policy.
The current policy is: nothing is collected.
