Privacy Policy — Rhythms

Last updated: 15 August 2026

Rhythms is developed and published by Candan Weng, an independent developer. Contact: candanweng@gmail.com. In this policy, “we” means that developer, and “the app” means the Rhythms iOS app.

The short version

Rhythms collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, no third-party SDK that reports anything, and no server belonging to us. Your tasks never leave your device unless you deliberately export them.

What is stored, and where

Everything you enter — task names, notes, categories, schedules and your completion history — is stored in a database inside the app’s own container on your device. We cannot see it, and neither can anyone else without access to your unlocked device.

There is no cloud sync in this version. If you delete the app, that data is deleted with it.

What leaves your device

WhenWhatTo whom
You buy Pro, subscribe, or leave a tip The purchase request Apple
You tap “Restore purchases” A request for your past purchases Apple
You export a backup The file, to wherever you send it Chosen by you

Purchases and subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple’s App Store using Apple’s own StoreKit. We never see your payment details, your Apple Account, or your name, and we receive no personal information from Apple that identifies you. The app stores only a local note of which product you bought, so it knows to stay unlocked. Apple’s handling of that transaction is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Rhythms makes no other network requests.

Data we receive from Apple

If you choose to share crash and usage data with developers in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements, Apple may show us anonymised, aggregated crash reports and sales figures through App Store Connect. We cannot identify you from them and we do not combine them with anything else. This is Apple’s reporting, not collection by the app.

Third parties

We share no data with any third party, because we hold none. There are no advertising networks, analytics providers, or data brokers involved in Rhythms, and no data is ever sold. Apple is the only party in the picture, and only for payments, as described above.

Notifications

Reminders are scheduled locally by iOS on your device. They are not push notifications; nothing is sent through any server. If you decline notification permission, the rest of the app works normally.

Data you export

An exported backup is a plain JSON file containing your tasks, categories and completion history. Once you have shared or saved it, where it goes and who can read it is determined by where you put it. We have no access to it.

Retention and deletion

Because your data is held only on your device, we retain nothing and cannot delete anything on your behalf. The data lives for as long as the app is installed. Deleting the app removes the database and every task, category and completion record with it, permanently. Export a backup first if you want to keep a copy.

Children

Rhythms is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, including children. It contains no user-generated content, no messaging, and no links out to the open web other than the ones named in this policy.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, the CCPA and comparable laws you have rights to access, correct, export and delete your personal data. Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to disclose, correct or delete — the data is already entirely in your hands. To export it, use Settings › Backup › Export a backup. To remove everything, delete the app. If you have a question about these rights, write to candanweng@gmail.com and we will answer within 30 days.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published here with a new date. Material changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
