Question 13

Does Tool Yaar work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The vast majority (over 90%) of Tool Yaar tools work 100% offline without requiring cellular data or Wi-Fi. Utilities like PDF Split/Merge, Image Resizer, Document Reader, Voice Recorder, Calculators, and Sensors run purely on your local hardware.

Accepted Answer

Permissions are requested strictly on-demand when you launch a specific tool: Camera for GPS Map Camera, Document Scanner, OCR, and QR scanner; Microphone for Voice Recorder and Speech-to-Text; Location for GPS geotags and Wi-Fi analyzer diagnostics. We never request Contacts, SMS, or Phone Call access.

Question 15

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tool Yaar utilizes modular Android runtime permissions. If you only use Calculators, Unit Converters, or PDF tools, you never need to grant Camera, Microphone, or Location permissions.

Question 16

What is Secure Space, and how does it protect my files?

Accepted Answer

Secure Space is an isolated on-device vault protected by military-grade AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 HMAC-SHA256 key derivation (65,536 iterations). Photos, videos, and private notes stored inside Secure Space remain 100% on your local phone and are never transmitted to any cloud server.

Question 17

Are my files uploaded to any server when I use PDF or Document tools?

Accepted Answer

No. All PDF manipulation (merging, splitting, compression, password locking/unlocking), image compression, and text extraction take place locally in device memory or client-side WebAssembly in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

Question 18

Are my conversations with Tool Yaar AI stored or processed online?

Accepted Answer

Tool Yaar AI processes query requests via secure server-side models in real time with zero chat storage. Conversations are strictly ephemeral—no chat logs, prompts, or replies are stored on your device, saved to any database, or used to train public AI models.

Question 19

Does Tool Yaar share or sell data with third parties?

Accepted Answer

Never. We do not sell, rent, monetize, or broker your personal documents or data to advertisers, data brokers, or third parties. Our business model relies on non-intrusive ads and optional rewarded ads.

Question 20

What happens to my saved data when I uninstall Tool Yaar?

Accepted Answer

Local files, voice recordings, and Secure Space items are removed when the app is uninstalled. If you have an active signed-in account, cloud-synced notes, expenses, and settings remain securely backed up in your encrypted Firebase account until you delete them.

Question 21

Can I delete my saved data without deleting my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can clear individual saved entries (such as notes, calculation history, expenses, or countdowns) directly inside each tool, or clear local app cache in settings.

Question 22

Where can I read the official Tool Yaar Privacy Policy?

Accepted Answer

You can read our comprehensive, transparent Privacy Policy anytime at https://toolyaar.com/privacy-policy or inside the app settings menu.

Question 23

Is my data stored online?

Accepted Answer

By default, all your data stays strictly on your device. If you optionally choose to sign in with Firebase Authentication, your notes, tasks, expenses, and streaks sync to Firebase Firestore protected with end-to-end AES-256 client-side encryption.

Question 24

Does Tool Yaar require a login or account?

Accepted Answer

No! You can use Tool Yaar completely anonymously in guest mode without creating an account, entering an email, or setting a password. Sign-in is 100% optional for multi-device sync.

Question 25

What should I do if Tool Yaar crashes or a tool stops working?

Accepted Answer

First, try restarting Tool Yaar or restarting your phone. Ensure you are running the latest version from Google Play or Aptoide. If you need to reinstall, ensure any Secure Space files are exported first since local vault storage clears upon uninstall.

Question 26

Why is Tool Yaar AI not responding?

Accepted Answer

Tool Yaar AI requires an active internet connection to communicate with the intelligent language model API. Check your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection, or retry after a few seconds.

Question 27

Which file formats does Document Reader support?

Accepted Answer

Document Reader supports Microsoft Word (.docx, .doc), Microsoft Excel (.xlsx, .xls), Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt), and Plain Text (.txt) formats without requiring bulky external office suites.

Question 28

Why is the OCR scanner not recognizing text correctly?

Accepted Answer

OCR recognition accuracy depends on photo resolution, focus, and illumination. For optimal results, ensure adequate lighting, avoid glare on glossy paper, hold the camera steady, and crop directly around the text you wish to scan.

Question 29

How do I use Voice Search to find tools?

Accepted Answer

Tap the microphone icon located in the search bar, grant temporary microphone permission when prompted, and clearly speak the name of the tool (e.g., "PDF Merge", "SIP Calculator", "Compass"). The app will immediately highlight the matching utility.

Question 30

Can I back up and restore my notes and saved data on a new phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you sign in to your free Tool Yaar account on your old phone, your encrypted notes, to-dos, expenses, and preferences are automatically restored as soon as you sign in to the same account on your new device.

Question 31

Why are Water Reminder or habit notifications not arriving?

Accepted Answer

Modern Android versions employ aggressive battery management. To ensure on-time notifications, open phone Settings > Apps > Tool Yaar, enable Notifications, and set Battery Usage to "Unrestricted" so background reminder alarms are not killed by the OS.

Question 32

What should I do if a rewarded ad fails to load or reward is missing?

Accepted Answer

If a rewarded ad fails to load due to network conditions, Tool Yaar still unlocks the tool for you. If you completed watching an ad but the reward was not reflected, please drop a note via our Report an Issue form or email toolyaarofficial@gmail.com.
