Grayboard beta
What to know before using prerelease software or sharing a typing report.
Notice and supplemental beta terms · Updated October 6, 2026 · U.S. testing
Review text before sending. Grayboard may crash, replace words incorrectly, produce inaccurate transcripts or lose app data. Test with non-sensitive examples, keep backups, and avoid relying on the beta for important communications.
Shared logs can reveal typed text. Emailed reports and messages are retained indefinitely, with no scheduled deletion. Read the report before sharing it.
1. Participation and applicable terms
Grayboard is prerelease iOS keyboard software offered through TestFlight to authorized U.S. testers. Participation and distribution are governed by Apple’s TestFlight terms and any supplemental terms presented and accepted during enrollment or in the app. These supplemental terms apply when presented and accepted; merely reading this page does not record acceptance.
Use the beta only within the testing licence granted through TestFlight. Do not redistribute it or misrepresent it as a finished product. TestFlight does not permit children under 13; eligible participants under 18 must review its agreement with a parent or guardian.
2. Prerelease risks
The beta is for testing and can be incomplete, unstable or inaccurate. It can alter text unexpectedly, fail to insert text, misrecognize speech, lose local settings or data, and change between builds. Installing a beta over an existing app can affect that app’s data. Back up important information and check the final text in the receiving app.
Do not rely on the beta for emergency, medical, legal, financial or other critical tasks. Features and access may change or end, and builds expire under TestFlight’s rules. No release date, compatibility, accuracy or uninterrupted availability is promised.
Apple’s TestFlight terms include warranty and liability provisions for prerelease apps. Any such provisions apply only to the extent permitted by law. No acknowledgement or term on this page waives rights that cannot lawfully be waived or excuses unlawful privacy practices.
3. Diagnostic capture and sharing
The current beta records a bounded recent typing-diagnostics buffer in local memory by default. A report action saves diagnostic files. Some local crash reports can include the latest typed word, replacement and surrounding text. There is currently no persistent, user-facing opt-in switch for this recorder. These facts are separate from Full Access, microphone permission and personalization settings.
Reports can contain typed text, context, suggestions, corrections, key/touch events, timing, device model, app/build and iOS versions, battery state and crash information. They may contain sensitive information about you or another person. Do not assume logs are anonymous, redacted or limited to the text you intended to report.
App-owned typing reports are not automatically emailed. Review the report in Grayboard, then choose whether to email support@swellbear.com or share it through another service. Sending without attachments is also an option. Basic typing does not require sending a report.
Emailed support messages and attachments are retained indefinitely with no scheduled deletion. They are used for support, investigation, improvements and continuing issue history. Applicable legal deletion rights remain available. The privacy policy explains retention, recipients and requests. Closing the case, cancelling another report or uninstalling the app does not retract a sent email.
Apple separately provides automatic crash and usage data through TestFlight. Disabling app-owned logging or declining to email a report would not disable Apple’s TestFlight channel.
4. Feedback and confidentiality
Feedback is voluntary unless you have separately agreed to a testing arrangement. You permit Swell Bear to use suggestions you submit to investigate problems and improve products without payment, unless separately agreed. Personal information and identifiable reports remain subject to the privacy policy; this permission does not authorize public release of raw typing logs.
Send only information you are entitled to share. Do not submit another person’s private messages, employer-confidential material or copyrighted content beyond what you may lawfully provide. Apple’s TestFlight terms address confidentiality of nonpublic beta material; check those terms before publishing it.
5. Leaving the beta and getting help
You can stop future keyboard processing by removing Grayboard from the iOS keyboard list, and stop beta participation through TestFlight and by deleting the beta app. Revoke microphone permission in Settings if you no longer want to grant it. Erase saved app-owned reports using the debug-report controls before removing the app if you want to clear those copies.
Apple, email providers and other recipients may still hold information already provided to them. For questions or privacy requests about information Swell Bear holds, contact support@swellbear.com.
