Keep core records on your device and the data boundary in your hands

Vow and positive groups, app relationships, the point ledger, reward inventory, redemption history, daily archives, offline focus, custom themes, and local backups are stored on the device by default. Tiny Vow does not sell screen time data or use it to build advertising profiles.

Some capabilities you actively choose can interact with a platform or external service—for example, Google Play processes purchase status, and a WeRead API configuration lets the app request authorized statistics directly. These optional boundaries do not turn local usage history into default cloud sync.

Usage access calculates foreground app time, limits, reports, points, and reminders. Accessibility recognizes foreground app changes, shows limits you configured, and enforces offline-focus whitelist rules.

It does not read screen text, capture input, perform clicks, or change system settings. Notifications, media notifications, and activity recognition are used only for their corresponding local features, and declining an optional permission does not remove the core groups and reporting model.

You can export a human-readable local data report or create a local recoverable backup. Historical snapshots preserve the facts that applied then rather than silently changing after a group is renamed.

When needed, you can clear local data or follow the published account and website-data deletion paths. You control backup files, so they should be handled with the same care as other personal records when shared or transferred.
