Habiter is built to be private by design. This policy explains what information the app handles and how.
Your habits, completion history, streaks and settings are stored on your device. We do not operate servers that receive, store or process this data. Deleting the app deletes this data from the device.
If you are signed in to iCloud, Habiter keeps your habits and history in sync across your own devices using Apple's CloudKit. That data lives in your personal iCloud account, under Apple's privacy terms — we have no access to it and cannot read it. You can stop syncing at any time by disabling iCloud for Habiter in iOS Settings. The same applies to the Apple Watch app, which shows the habits already on your iPhone.
Meal photos. If you keep a meals routine, the photos you take or choose for a meal are stored with your habits in the same way — on your device and in your own iCloud, never on our servers. Habiter uses the camera only when you tap to take one. Deleting a photo, or the habit, deletes it from your devices.
Habiter can update selected habits automatically from Apple Health — for example, marking a walking habit complete once you reach your step goal. It can also keep your water habit in sync with Health, save the workouts you do in Habiter to Health, save your toothbrushing, your meditation sessions as mindful minutes, the walks you time in Habiter and your mood check-ins to Health, and count strength workouts you record elsewhere — for example in the Workout app on Apple Watch — toward your workout habit. All of these are optional and off until you turn them on and grant permission.
If you choose Send to Apple Watch, the routine — its exercises, reps, times and rests — is handed to Apple's Workout app on your own devices through Apple's system sheet. It does not pass through us.
If you choose to create or join a shared goal, that goal is stored in Apple's CloudKit and shared with the people you invite. What you put into it — the goal's name and rules, your display name and profile picture, your progress, and any notes or photos you post to it — becomes visible to the other participants of that goal. It is not public, and it is not visible to us. Leaving a goal removes you from it; the goal's owner can delete the goal for everyone. Shared goals are entirely optional and nothing is shared until you create or join one.
Public challenges are the one part of Habiter where information is visible to people you have not invited. Nothing here happens unless you join a challenge, and nothing is published until you act.
When you join a challenge, the following becomes visible to anyone using Habiter: the display name and picture you set in your Habiters profile, how many days you completed (that month and in total) and your current streak. In a steps challenge, those days come from the steps Apple Health counted, and the month's step total is shown as well; steps you typed into Health yourself are not counted. Your entry also records when you joined and when it last changed. The habit that feeds the count, its name, its targets and your notes are never published.
When you publish a challenge, the title and description you wrote and your display name become visible to everyone.
When you post on a challenge's wall, the text you wrote and any photo you attached become visible to everyone in Habiter, along with your display name and picture. Photos are checked on your own device before they are uploaded; the picture is not sent anywhere to be screened.
All of it is stored in the public part of our iCloud container and is tied to your Apple Account's iCloud identifier, so that only you can edit or delete what you published. Leaving a challenge deletes your entry from its leaderboard. Deleting a post or reply deletes it for everyone.
Reported content is recorded so that it can be reviewed, together with the identifier of the person who reported it. Content removed by us stops being shown in the App.
None of this is used for advertising or tracking, and none of it is shared with third parties.
We use TelemetryDeck to understand how Habiter is used and improve the app. It receives anonymous product events, such as when onboarding is completed, a habit is created or completed, the statistics screen or paywall is viewed, or a purchase succeeds. Events may include limited technical information such as app and operating-system versions, device model, language, region and an anonymous installation identifier. When you log a mood, the event includes which of the five faces you picked and how many life areas you chose — never your note or which areas they were. If you fill in the short form shown when you are about to delete the app, the reason you pick and any text you choose to type are sent with it. We do not send habit names, notes, photos, reminder times, the places you set for reminders, contact details, values read from Apple Health, or precise location. TelemetryDeck states that it does not store IP addresses. See the TelemetryDeck Privacy Policy.
gethabiter.app uses no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. To see how people find the site, each page view and each tap on an App Store button sends an anonymous event to TelemetryDeck with the page, the site's language, the website that sent you there (for example a search engine or an AI assistant) and any campaign tags in the link, your browser's language and time zone, and whether your screen is phone, tablet or desktop size. Each event carries a random identifier made for that page view only and never saved, so visits can't be linked to you or to each other. The site is hosted on Google Firebase Hosting, which, like any web server, processes your IP address to deliver the pages.
Habiter Pro subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are processed by Apple through your App Store account. To validate purchases and restore them across your devices, the app uses RevenueCat, a purchase-management service. RevenueCat receives an anonymous, randomly generated identifier and purchase receipt information from Apple. It cannot identify you personally. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
If you enable reminders, notifications are scheduled locally on your device. Notification content never leaves your device.
Reminders at a place. A habit's reminder can be tied to a place instead of a time, so that it arrives when you get there or when you leave. This is optional and off until you add a place to a habit. Habiter asks for location access ("While Using the App") only when you tap Use my current location or save a place. After that it is iOS, not Habiter, that watches for the place and shows the reminder: Habiter is not running when it fires and is not told that you arrived. On the page where you pick a place, the map can show where you are, and tapping Use my current location reads your position once to put the pin there; in both cases it stays on your device and is not saved.
What Habiter keeps is the place you picked — its name, its position on the map, the distance around it and whether arriving or leaving counts — stored with the habit, on your device and in your own iCloud. It is never sent to us, it is not part of a shared goal or a public challenge, and analytics include only that a place reminder was turned on and whether it is for arriving or leaving. The map, the place search and the address suggested for a pin come from Apple Maps, so what you search for, the area of the map you look at and the spot you tap are sent to Apple to answer, under Apple's privacy terms. To stop, remove the place from the habit or turn Location off for Habiter in iOS Settings.
If you turn on App lock, Habiter asks iOS to confirm it is you — with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode — each time the app is opened. The check is done by iOS: Habiter never receives your face or fingerprint data or your passcode, only whether the check passed. Widgets and notifications are not covered by the lock.
You can export your habit history as a CSV file at any time from Settings. Where you share or store that file is entirely up to you.
Habiter does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
