MAUDE for macOS and iOS. Last updated: September 8, 2026
MAUDE is a Mac and iOS studio app published by Sleek Tiki, operated by Matthew Board. Bundle identifier: ai.sleektiki.maude. This policy covers the MAUDE Mac and iOS app. Contact: [email protected].
Sleek Tiki does not create a MAUDE account for you. The app does not include an analytics SDK. We do not sell personal data. Chat, stills, and video you ask MAUDE to make are sent through Sleek Tiki's studio service to Replicate, using Sleek Tiki's provider account. The app does not ship a provider key and does not ask you to paste one. Optional Google Sign-In lets MAUDE use Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Calendar when you ask. Google tokens stay in the device Keychain on that device (not iCloud Keychain). Studio chats and schedules can sync across your Apple devices via iCloud Documents when you are signed into the same iCloud account. Purchases go through Apple StoreKit.
MAUDE stores settings, consent, and similar studio state locally with Apple app storage (including UserDefaults) and files on the device. Conversation history, scheduled tasks, and heartbeat settings are stored in the app container and, when iCloud is available, in the MAUDE iCloud Documents container so your Mac and iPhone stay in sync even if one app is closed. Google Sign-In tokens and related secrets are stored only in the device Keychain (this device, not synced). Chat and generate requests leave the device through Sleek Tiki's studio service to Replicate, or when iCloud syncs the studio file to your other devices. Deleting the app removes local data, unless an Apple backup or iCloud copy still holds it under Apple's rules.
When you send a message or ask MAUDE to generate an image or a video, the prompt and any files, photos, or other content you attach for that request go to Sleek Tiki's studio service, which calls Replicate on Sleek Tiki's account. The provider key never leaves that server and is not in the app. Those providers process the request in order to return a reply or a generated file. Sleek Tiki does not use that content to train its own models. Provider retention follows that provider's policy. MAUDE refuses some generate requests before they are sent, including sexual content involving minors.
Google Sign-In is optional. MAUDE does not work with Google until you choose Sign in with Google. Access tokens and refresh tokens are stored only in the device Keychain. MAUDE requests these Google scopes, each only to do work you ask for:
MAUDE does not request Google Contacts or YouTube. Google user data is fetched only in response to a request you make in the app. If that request needs an AI model (for example, summarize this mail, or draft from this Drive file), the relevant Google content is sent through Sleek Tiki's studio service to Replicate so it can complete the request. Sleek Tiki does not sell Google user data, does not use it for advertising, and does not use it to train Sleek Tiki models. Sign out deletes the Google tokens from this device. You can also revoke MAUDE in your Google Account permissions.
The use of raw or derived user data received from Workspace APIs will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. When you ask MAUDE to run an AI model on Google content, that content is sent only to complete that request. Sleek Tiki does not transfer Workspace user data to third-party AI services for their model training.
How we protect Google user data: Google Sign-In tokens and refresh tokens are stored only in the device Keychain and are never written to Sleek Tiki servers. MAUDE does not keep a copy of your Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Calendar content on our systems. That content is requested from Google over encrypted HTTPS only when you ask for a task, used on the device to complete that task, and sent through Sleek Tiki's studio service to Replicate over encrypted HTTPS only when that request needs a model. Access is limited to the signed-in Google account on that device. Sign out removes the tokens from the Keychain. You can also revoke MAUDE in your Google Account permissions.
Security procedures are in place to protect the confidentiality of your data, including Google user data that is sensitive (Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Calendar).
Sleek Tiki employees do not browse your Gmail, Drive, or Calendar as a matter of operations. Support only sees what you choose to send to [email protected].
Google's own rules also apply: Google Privacy Policy.
On Mac, optional tools can control apps on this machine (for example Notes, Calendar, Mail, and Office apps) using Apple Events. That work runs locally. Content you then ask MAUDE to process may still go through Sleek Tiki's studio service to Replicate as described above.
If you attach photos, video, or files from the device, those items stay local until you send a request that includes them. Then they are sent through Sleek Tiki's studio service to Replicate for that request, the same as chat attachments.
Optional Pro monthly and yearly subscriptions, and a one-time Token top-off, are sold through Apple StoreKit. Apple processes payment. Sleek Tiki does not receive your card number, Apple ID password, or billing address. Apple may keep purchase records under Apple's privacy policy. Restore Purchases asks Apple whether Pro is already owned on this Apple ID. It does not restore consumed top-off packs.
MAUDE does not include an analytics, crash-reporting, or advertising SDK. Sleek Tiki does not receive a usage feed from the app.
MAUDE is not directed at children. It can generate images and video. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents can restrict in-app purchases in Screen Time.
Sleek Tiki does not sell, rent, or trade MAUDE user data. We share data with third parties only as needed to run the request you made: Replicate (via Sleek Tiki's studio service) for chat and generation, Google if you signed in and asked for Google work, and Apple for purchases. Each of those parties has its own privacy policy.
You can use MAUDE without Google Sign-In. You can decline subscriptions. You can Sign out of Google. You can delete the app to clear local MAUDE data on that device. For Apple ID or purchase questions, use Apple Support.
