Handy AI helps you carry out tasks on your Android phone by describing them in plain language. This page explains what data it handles and how.
What the app stores on your device
Your Anthropic API key. Encrypted via Android Keystore (AES-256-GCM). Never leaves your device and is never sent to us.
Your chat history — the tasks you've asked for and the agent's log — saved locally so sessions persist across app launches. Stored in app-private storage. Never sent to us.
Task descriptions and recent screenshots, only while a task is running. Kept in memory, not written to disk.
What leaves your device
Screenshots of the current screen and a short action history are sent to Anthropic (the company behind Claude) while a task is running, so the model can decide the next step. The requests go directly from your phone to Anthropic with your API key. We do not store, proxy, log, or train on them. See anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
Nothing else. The app makes no other network calls.
What we do NOT collect
Contacts, SMS, calls, microphone (except during the brief voice-to-text call handled by Android itself), camera, location — no access, no collection.
No analytics, no tracking, no advertising profile.
No user accounts. There is no sign-up, no server-side profile.
Accessibility permission
Handy AI uses Android's Accessibility Service API strictly to: (a) take a screenshot of the current screen while a task is running, and (b) dispatch taps, swipes, and text input on your behalf. The service only does work while you have a task running. You can turn it off any time in Settings → Accessibility → Handy AI.
Deleting your data
Tap "Clear API key" in the app Settings to wipe your key immediately.
Use the sessions drawer "⋮" menu to delete individual chats.
Uninstalling the app (or clearing app data from Android Settings → Apps → Handy AI) removes all on-device data.
Security
All secrets on-device are encrypted via the Android Keystore. All network traffic is HTTPS (TLS 1.2+).
Children
Not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
