How does Tuneliq handle your stories and creative inputs?

Mostly, your input is the note you write, plus a couple of choices and, if you want it, a short clip of your own voice.

Mostly, your input is the note you write, plus a couple of choices and, if you want it, a short clip of your own voice. Tuneliq turns that into a song that stays on your phone by default. Here's the honest version of what you actually hand over, and what the app does and doesn't claim about it.

What counts as your story and creative input?

Three things. First, the note: you tell Tuneliq who the song is for and what the occasion is, then write what you'd actually say to them, whether that's a mom's birthday, an apology you never made, or the drive home from the hospital when your kid was born. Second, a few choices, like the relationship and the feel of the song. Third, if you want it, a spoken intro up to sixty seconds in your own real voice that plays before the song starts.

The note is the part that carries the meaning, and it's yours. Everything the app builds around it grows out of those few sentences you wrote about one specific person.

What happens to your words as the song gets made?

Tuneliq drafts lyrics from your note, and then every line is yours to change. You can rewrite a line so it says the true thing, or hand the whole draft back and ask for another pass. Nothing is locked until you decide the song is finished. So your words don't get dropped into a machine and returned as-is. You're editing a draft toward the way you actually talk, and you're the one who calls it done.

What leaves your phone, and when?

By default, nothing. Your finished song sits in your library on your own device, and it only goes anywhere when you deliberately share it. At that point a copy goes up so the other person can play the link, and it comes back down when you stop sharing. Where your songs are stored, and how turning a share on and off works, each have their own straight answer. The reason it's built this way is plain: the words you put in a song are usually the kind of thing you'd only say to one person, so the app keeps that call in your hands.

What Tuneliq won't claim about your writing

Here's the part worth being plain about. Tuneliq keeps your songs on your device, doesn't put them online unless you share, and lets you undo a share whenever you want. That's what the product does today, and it's all this page will tell you.

I'm not going to dress it up with promises the product can't stand behind, and I'm not going to invent detail about how data is handled. If you want the full legal wording, exactly what's covered and how, the Privacy page on the Tuneliq site is the real document. This is the plain-English version, not a stand-in for the terms.
