Contextli is a voice-first productivity app that turns your spoken thoughts into polished, context-aware text; ready to paste into an email, Slack message, document, or any app on your phone. Speaking is faster than typing on glass, and Contextli makes that speed actually useful.
Accessibility Service Disclosure
Contextli uses the Android Accessibility Service to do things Android does not otherwise allow third-party apps to do. We use it only while you are actively recording with Contextli, and only for the purposes stated below:
- Pasting your transcribed text into other apps. After you finish a recording, Contextli pastes the resulting text into the text field you currently have focused in another app. Android provides no other supported way for a third-party app to insert text into another app's field. The service is not used to read or copy any text already in that field.
- Dismissing the notification shade. When you start a recording from Contextli's notification, the service closes the notification shade so the pasted text lands in the app underneath.
- Capturing a single screenshot — only when you explicitly turn it on for a Context. Each Context in Contextli has a "Capture Screenshot" toggle that is OFF by default. When you record using a Context with that toggle ON, Contextli takes one screenshot of your current screen at that moment and sends it with your voice recording to our AI backend, so the AI can use the on-screen content to produce a more accurate response. The screenshot is used only for that single request and is not retained afterwards. If the toggle is OFF, no screenshot is ever taken.
Contextli does NOT use the Accessibility Service to read, log, collect, retain, or share any other content from your other apps. It does not monitor your activity in the background, does not record keystrokes, and does not access fields when you are not actively recording with Contextli. It does not bypass Android privacy protections, modify system settings without your explicit consent, or use any deceptive interface behavior.
Before Contextli sends you to enable the Accessibility Service in Android Settings, the app shows a full-screen consent disclosure listing each of the above uses. You can use Contextli without enabling Accessibility — in that case you will copy and paste transcriptions manually, and no screenshots can be captured.
What Contextli does
A single tap triggers a recording — speak naturally, and Contextli captures your audio, transcribes it, and formats the output to match where you're writing. Rather than producing a flat, punctuation-light wall of text, Contextli understands the register and destination of what you're saying. A casual Slack update sounds like a casual Slack update. A professional email sounds like a professional email. You get text already shaped for its purpose, not something you need to clean up before sending.
Who it's for
Professionals composing emails and messages under time pressure, managers who need to communicate clearly and frequently without losing momentum, and anyone who finds mobile typing tedious but still needs to produce polished written output throughout the day. Contextli removes the cognitive overhead of formatting and writing; you stay focused on what you actually want to say, not how to say it.
