Daybreak Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 29, 2026
Daybreak is a habit-tracking app that runs on your device. It does not have a server, and it does not send your data to anyone other than Apple's iCloud, where your records are stored privately under your own Apple ID.
What Daybreak does NOT collect
Daybreak does not collect, transmit, or store on any external server:
- Your name, email, or contact details
- Your progress photos, reflections, or task logs
- Your Apple Health data
- Any analytics, telemetry, or crash reports
- Advertising identifiers
Daybreak does not integrate with any third-party services, advertising networks, or analytics providers.
Where your data lives
Your data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework.
If you are signed into iCloud, your data syncs across your other devices through your private iCloud container, managed by Apple. Daybreak does not have access to your iCloud account or your iCloud-stored data — only Apple does, under the privacy terms you accepted when you set up your iCloud account.
What's stored
Daybreak keeps the following on your device and in your private iCloud container:
- The challenges you start, the tasks within them, and the days you log
- Reflections you write
- Progress photos you capture or pick from your library
- Achievements you've earned
- Whether you've unlocked Daybreak Pro
Apple Health
If you grant permission, Daybreak reads your water intake and workouts from Apple Health to auto-update the corresponding tasks. The data is read each time the app is foregrounded and is not stored separately. Daybreak never writes back to Apple Health.
Buddies and CloudKit Sharing
Daybreak Pro lets you pair with up to five buddies. Pairing happens through Apple's CloudKit Sharing system. When you pair with a buddy, the following minimal information is written into a shared zone visible only to you and your buddy:
- Your active challenge name, day number, total days, current streak
- Today's completion percentage
- Names of any tasks you've explicitly opted to share (the names only — never the amounts you log)
- Encouragement reactions you send each other (an emoji kind, an optional short note, and the timestamp)
Photos, reflections, and the actual amounts you log are never shared with buddies, regardless of pairing. You can stop sharing with any buddy at any time from the Connect tab.
Permissions Daybreak may ask for
- Camera — to capture daily progress photos.
- Photo Library (Add) — to save your progress photos when you tap "Save photos to your library" at challenge completion.
- Apple Health (read-only) — to read your water intake and workouts.
- Notifications — for daily task reminders and buddy nudge pushes.
- iCloud — to sync your data across your devices.
You can grant or revoke any of these at any time in the iOS Settings app.
In-App Purchases
Daybreak offers a one-time, non-consumable purchase ("Daybreak Pro") through Apple's StoreKit. Apple handles all payment processing, receipt validation, and family sharing. Daybreak itself does not receive your payment information.
Children
Daybreak is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information about anyone — including children.
Data retention and deletion
Your data stays on your devices and in your iCloud account for as long as you keep Daybreak installed. To delete it:
- One challenge or photo at a time — delete from inside Daybreak.
- Everything — Settings → Developer → "Wipe all data" clears the local store. To also remove the iCloud copy, go to iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Daybreak and remove it there.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. The current version always lives at this URL.
