Why my apps don’t track you
No analytics SDKs, no ad networks, no servers holding your data. Here’s why I build apps this way — and what it means for you in practice.
When you open a habit tracker or a water reminder, you’re sharing something personal: your routines, your goals, sometimes your bad days. I don’t think an app needs to send any of that anywhere to be useful.
Your data lives with you
Everything you create in my apps is stored on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, it goes to your own iCloud account — managed by Apple, encrypted, and invisible to me. I don’t run servers that keep copies of your habits, logs or collections.
No analytics unless it’s truly needed
A lot of apps ship with several third-party SDKs that quietly report how you use them. I avoid that by default. Most product decisions can be made from App Store reviews and, most importantly, from the emails people send me.
If an app ever does rely on analytics, it’s stated openly in that app’s Privacy Policy — no surprises, no fine print.
What this means in practice
- No ads and no ad-tracking identifiers.
- No accounts to create just to try an app.
- Your data keeps working offline, because it never had to leave your device.
- When you delete the app, your local data goes with it.
The trade-off
Without tracking I know less about how people use my apps. That’s why feedback matters so much: if something is confusing, missing or broken, write to [email protected]. I read every message.
