Gillie helps you lock distracting apps and earn screen time back with real-life habits. We built it so that your personal data stays on your iPhone.

The short version

• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking.
• Your habits, photos, steps and lock settings stay on your iPhone.
• The only data that leaves your device is what's needed to check your subscription, handled by Apple and RevenueCat with an anonymous ID.

What stays on your iPhone

• Apps you lock and allow. You choose them with Apple's Screen Time. Apple gives Gillie anonymous tokens for them, not app names, and they never leave your device.
• Habits, pearls, streaks and focus sessions. Stored only in Gillie on your iPhone.
• Habit photos. Taken with your camera inside Gillie and stored only in Gillie on your iPhone. Gillie checks them on your device (for example, that a photo isn't a duplicate). Photos are never uploaded.
• Steps (Apple Health). If you allow it, Gillie reads your daily step count. Gillie only reads steps; it never writes to Apple Health. Health data is used only to give you pearls, stays on your device, is never used for advertising and is never shared with or sold to anyone.
• Notifications. Reminders such as "time's up" are scheduled on your iPhone. No notification server is involved.

What leaves your iPhone

• Subscription status. Purchases are processed by Apple. Gillie uses RevenueCat to confirm your subscription. RevenueCat receives your purchase and transaction details and a random, anonymous app user ID created on your device. It does not receive your name, e-mail address, health data, photos or the apps you lock. See RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
• Apple. If you chose to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone settings, Apple may share anonymous usage and crash data with us. You control this in Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

We do not sell your data, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not track you across apps or websites.

Your choices

• You can turn off Health access or Screen Time access at any time in iOS Settings.
