How can we help?

Yes. When you sign in, your content is linked to your account, so you can access it from multiple devices. Sounds Like A Trip also works without an account; then your trips stay on that phone.

No. Each app works on its own, and you can use whichever one fits your needs.

Each one keeps a thing together with the story behind it. ReciKey keeps the recipe and the voice that taught it. ShelfMark keeps your books and the friends they pass between. Sounds Like A Trip keeps the place and the true story that happened there.

They’re made by the same small team, son of a good man™, and the same rules apply in all three: what you add is yours, there are no ads, and we never sell your data. Each is a separate app that works on its own.

We use industry-standard security practices, including encryption and secure infrastructure, to protect your information.

No. We do not sell your personal data.

Yes. Your content is private and belongs to you. We do not sell your data, and we only use it to provide the features inside the app.

No. Your recipes, recordings, books, notes and trips are not used to train AI models.

When ReciKey or ShelfMark use AI, it’s only to do something you asked for, like writing out a recipe card or finding the books in a shelf photo. ShelfMark’s personalized picks are off until you turn them on, and what they learn about your taste is yours alone: other people never see it. Sounds Like A Trip doesn’t use AI.

ReciKey and ShelfMark do, for things you ask for. ReciKey writes out a recipe from a recording, a photo of a recipe card or a link. ShelfMark finds the books in a shelf photo, fills in missing details and, if you turn picks on, suggests what to read. You can edit anything AI fills in. Sounds Like A Trip doesn’t use AI.

Only to do what you ask. In ReciKey, AI writes out a recipe from a recording, a photo of a card or a link. In ShelfMark, it finds the books in a shelf photo, fills in missing details and, if you turn picks on, suggests what to read. You can edit anything it fills in, and your content is not used to train AI models.
