Last updated 2026-09-24. Apptakes is a product of Practical Business AI (PBAI), Monroe, Louisiana, USA.
This app is in beta. To save you time and trouble, we’ve built in Apptakes, our own feedback tool. It sends us feedback from your session and alerts us to any bugs or errors you run into. Tap the button anytime to talk or type a note to us, or record a video of your screen to show us an issue from start to finish.
PBAI stores session data on the developer's behalf and does not sell it, share it with other developers, or use it to train anything.
Who is who
- Developer: the person or company that created an Apptakes account and put the widget in their app. They decide which pages carry it and who tests. They are the controller of their testers' data.
- Tester: someone admitted to the developer's beta app. In required beta mode, recording starts automatically after admission and the approved notice is displayed.
- PBAI: runs the Apptakes service and processes data on the developer's instructions.
What is recorded during beta use
- The tester's name and email supplied by the app's account or beta-entry flow.
- Clicks, scrolling, page changes, and estimated active time. Ordinary text and input values can appear in replay. Password inputs are masked.
- JavaScript errors and failed network requests raised by the developer's app.
- Page structure, visible text, ordinary input and selections. Selected canvas-based apps also capture sampled images of their canvas views. Visible page content can appear in replay; developers are told to use test data.
- Notes the tester chooses to leave: typed text, or a voice recording plus its transcript.
- On desktop browsers only, and only if the tester clicks "Record", a video of the current browser tab. If the tester chooses a different window or the whole screen in the browser's picker, that is what gets recorded. The widget asks for the current tab only.
- Browser type and window size.
Pages without the widget are not recorded. Required beta capture begins when the host app admits the tester and loads the widget; dismissing the notice does not turn capture off.
What happens to it
- An AI model (Google Gemini, via its API) writes a short narrative of each session and transcribes voice notes. Session data is sent to that API for that purpose only.
- The developer sees sessions, notes, errors, replays, and narratives in their Apptakes account, and may receive them by email.
- PBAI staff may look at data to operate or debug the service.
Where it lives and for how long
- Database and files: Supabase (AWS us-east-1, United States). Application hosting: Netlify. Email: Resend.
- Replay and screen-video files are deleted 30 days after the session. Notes, narratives, scores, and event summaries stay until the developer deletes the app or the session.
- When a developer deletes an app in Setup, every session, note, event, replay, and recording for it is deleted.
Your choices
- Testers: recording is part of using these beta apps. To have a past session removed, contact the developer of the app you tested, or email the address below with the app's name and the email you gave.
- Developers: export your data as JSON from Sessions at any time; delete any app in Setup; ask us to delete your account at the address below.
