Daybreak Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 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 any of the following, and never sends it to us, to any third party, or to any server we run:

  • Your name, email, or contact details
  • Your progress photos, reflections, or task logs
  • Your Apple Health data (Daybreak only reads and writes it on your device — see Apple Health below)
  • 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
  • Body measurements you log (and any imported from Apple Health when you turn on body sync)
  • Achievements you've earned
  • Whether you've unlocked Daybreak Pro

Apple Health

Daybreak's Apple Health features are part of Daybreak Pro. Each is off until you turn it on and grant permission:

  • Water and workouts — read only. If you turn on Apple Health in Settings, Daybreak reads your water intake and your workouts (including workout minutes) to auto-complete the matching tasks. It reads them each time the app comes to the foreground and does not store them as separate records — only the task progress they update.
  • Body measurements — read and write. If you turn on Sync with Apple Health on the Body screen, Daybreak syncs three measurements with Apple Health: weight, body fat percentage, and waist circumference.

With body sync on, when you log one of those three measurements in Daybreak, Daybreak saves it to Apple Health. When you first turn body sync on, and each time you open the Body screen after that, Daybreak imports your recent weight, body fat, and waist samples from Apple Health (up to 90 days back) and saves them as Daybreak body-measurement records, skipping any day that already has an entry for that measurement. Unlike water and workouts, these imported values are stored in Daybreak — on your device and in your private iCloud container.

Chest, arm, thigh, and hip measurements stay in Daybreak and are never sent to Apple Health.

Daybreak never deletes anything from Apple Health. Measurements it has saved there stay in the Health app if you delete them in Daybreak, turn off body sync, or delete Daybreak — manage or delete them in the Health app.

Your health data never leaves your device except through Apple's own systems — Apple Health, and the private iCloud sync of your Daybreak records. It is never sent to us or to any third party, never shared with buddies, and never used for advertising or marketing.

Buddies and CloudKit Sharing

Daybreak Pro lets you pair with up to ten 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:

  • The display name you choose for yourself in Daybreak, if you set one
  • Your active challenge name, day number, total days, current streak
  • Today's completion percentage
  • When you were last active in Daybreak
  • 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, body measurements, Apple Health data, 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 access to your water intake, workouts, weight, body fat, and waist measurements; and write access to weight, body fat, and waist, only when you turn on body sync.
  • 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 until you delete it. To delete it:

  • Individual items — delete progress photos, reflections, tasks, logged entries, and body measurements from inside Daybreak. Ending a challenge keeps it in your challenge history.
  • Everything on this device — delete the Daybreak app.
  • The iCloud copy — go to iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Daybreak and remove it there.
  • Apple Health — measurements Daybreak saved to Apple Health stay there until you delete them in the Health app.
