How your data is handled.

This app is a personal hobby project, and it's built to know nothing about you. It runs fully offline — once it's installed, it never contacts a server again. What follows is the same thing said two ways — first plainly, then as the disclaimer that has to exist for anyone using it for anything serious.

What's collected

Nothing. The app runs fully offline — once it's on your phone, it never makes a network request. There's no API behind it, no account, no sign-in, no analytics SDK, no tracking pixel, no advertising. I haven't installed any of that and I'm not planning to. If that ever changes, this page changes too.

Every explainer — text and images — ships inside the app itself. Because nothing leaves your phone, there's no IP address logged, no device ID, and no usage data for anyone, including me, to collect.

What I can see at the aggregate level

I haven't built any analytics dashboards. The one place numbers show up is Apple's App Store dashboard, which I didn't have to set up — it shows me download counts, session counts, and crash reports. None of it is per-user trackable. Hopefully that number is at least three (my wife and kids).

That's the entire visibility I have into who's using the app. I've never deployed an iOS app before this, so there may be App Store metrics I haven't found yet — if I find anything else worth mentioning, I'll add it here.

Anonymous use is the model

No account is needed to read the content. Download the app, open it, read. That's the entire onboarding flow and that's how it's intended to stay.

Terms

The disclaimer.

The app is provided as-is

I work alone, on weekends, and the AI behind the content gets things wrong sometimes. The app and its content are provided as-is, with no warranty of accuracy, fitness for any particular purpose, or freedom from bugs. If something's wrong, the contact page has the right address — I'd genuinely like to know.

Don't use this for serious decisions

The explainers are meant to be a fun, low-stakes way to learn how things around you work — the kind of thing you read in a queue at a coffee shop. They are not medical advice. They are not legal advice. They are not financial advice. For anything that actually matters — your health, your money, your rights — talk to a qualified professional. Not an iPhone app written by one person on the weekend.
