Open iOS Settings → SempreNotes and review permissions. SempreNotes disables only the path whose permission is missing — microphone/speech for voice, camera or photos for the photo path, notifications for insights. Grant the permission and the path re-enables.

Your device storage is critically low. SempreNotes blocks new captures rather than silently deleting old memories. Free up device space and reopen SempreNotes; capture resumes normally and nothing was lost.

Check four things in order: the cloud toggle is on, a provider is selected, your API key is valid (keys can expire or be revoked at the provider), and you have network connectivity. While any of these fail, SempreNotes answers locally with a degraded label.

The on-device recognizer guesses at proper nouns. Use the review screen before committing — transcripts are always editable there, and fixing a name doesn't lose the capture.

Settings → Export produces your complete memory store as JSON. Deleting the app afterward removes all local data. There is nothing to delete on any server because no server holds your content.

Only the optional insight pass, at most twice a day, scheduled by iOS — and only if you enabled insights. It evaluates your existing local memories. There is no background capture of any kind.
