Privacy Policy
Calarm is designed to run entirely on your device. We have no server, ask for no account and never track you.
Last updated: June 12, 2026
In short
- We don't collect or sell your personal data.
- No server, no accounts and no sign-in.
- No ads, no third-party analytics and no advertising identifiers.
- Your alarms, photos and events stay on your iPhone.
1. What Calarm accesses
For the app to work, Calarm may ask permission to access the following. You grant it, and you can revoke it anytime from iOS Settings.
Photos
If you pick a photo for a reminder (for example, a friend's photo on their birthday), Calarm stores that image locally on your device to show it when the alarm rings. Photos are never uploaded to any server.
Calendar (read only)
If you enable the Calendar tab, Calarm reads events from Apple's Calendar app to schedule alarms and detect meeting links (Teams, Zoom, Google Meet) and locations. We don't modify your events and don't store or send them off the device.
Alarms & notifications (AlarmKit)
Calarm uses the system's AlarmKit so your alarms ring even when the iPhone is silent, locked or in Focus mode. This scheduling happens entirely on your device through Apple's APIs.
2. Data practices summary
This table maps to the "App Privacy" section in App Store Connect.
| Data type | Use | Linked to you | Tracking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photos (user content) | Show a reminder's photo. Stored locally. | No | No |
| Calendar events (read) | Detect events and meetings to schedule alarms. Not stored off-device. | No | No |
| Identifiers, location, contacts, usage, diagnostics | Not collected | No | No |
3. Storage & security
All your information (alarms, reminders, categories, photos and preferences) is stored locally using SwiftData on your device. Since there's no server, there's no central database that could be breached.
When we add iCloud sync, your content will be stored in your private iCloud database (Apple), end-to-end encrypted. We’ll update this policy before enabling that feature.
5. Children
Calarm is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children.
6. Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we’ll change the "Last updated" date and, when the change is significant (for example, iCloud sync), we’ll let you know inside the app.
