Nothing leaves your phone.

The short version

BadgerMe runs entirely on your device. It has no accounts, no cloud, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking. It collects no personal information and transmits nothing about you off your phone. Everything below just explains that in more detail.

What BadgerMe stores

When you use the app, it keeps the things you create so they still exist next time you open it:

• The Badgers you make, including their titles and any notes you add.
• Your ladders (the escalation settings) and any sounds you import.
• A local history of what fired and when, and when you snoozed or resolved things.

All of this lives in BadgerMe's private storage on your iPhone. It is not uploaded, synced, or shared. If it's on your device, that's the only place it is.

What BadgerMe sends off your device

Nothing. There is no account to sign into, no backend to talk to, no analytics or crash-reporting service, no advertising network, and no third-party SDK collecting anything in the background. The app has no reason to make a network connection for your data, and it doesn't.

This isn't a feature we're upselling. It's the whole design.

Permissions, and why the app asks

BadgerMe requests a few system permissions so it can do its job. Each one lets the app reach you — none of them is used to gather information about you.

• Notifications — to deliver the softer reminders.
• Alarms — to sound the breakthrough alerts that come through Silent and Focus, using Apple's alarm system.
• Live Activities — to show a countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

You can grant or deny each of these in Settings at any time, and BadgerMe keeps working with whatever you allow.

Your data is yours

You are in control of everything the app stores. Delete a Badger to remove it and its history. Delete the app to remove all of it at once — because there's no copy anywhere else, that's genuinely the end of it. Since this version keeps no cloud backup, reinstalling the app starts you fresh.

Children's privacy

BadgerMe is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. Because it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children.

If this ever changes

Future versions may offer optional conveniences — for example, an opt-in way to sync your Badgers across your own devices. If anything like that is ever added, it will be exactly that: optional, off by default, and clearly explained. This page would be updated before any such feature ships, and the "last updated" date above would change to match.
