In the past I have paid a bunch of money in subscriptions for apps like this. This app requires none of that, it has no backend. The only reason I am charging is so I can keep the app up to date for you, add features, and add the latest models as they become available. But with this app: Your Data = Your Business WalkWrite stores audio in Files  - On My iPhone  - WalkWrite/Audio and text in a small encrypted database. Delete a note and it’s gone—no replicas on someone else’s server. FAQ: Why is the app so large? The AI models are included with your app download, no other downloads required, no data sent anywhere. Is there a monthly or annual subscription? No, none. Is there an account required? No, none. Where are the notes stored? On your device and only shared if you chose to share them.

Connections go only to the server you configure, over your own network or the address you provide. BamFleet is an independent client and is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by Bambu Lab, BamBuddy, or PrintBuddy. PRIVACY Your credentials are stored securely in the iOS Keychain and used only to talk to your server. BamFleet doesn't track you. Point BamFleet at your server and your whole fleet is a tap away.
