Short version: SoloFamily runs entirely on your iPhone. Your data doesn't leave your device unless you explicitly share it (PDF/CSV export). There is no server, no account, no tracking.
What data SoloFamily stores
Everything you enter: kids' names and optional photos and dates of birth, periods of time, events, expenses (with optional receipt photos), notes, custom flags, caregivers. It's all stored locally using Apple's SwiftData + SQLite.
Where that data goes
Nowhere by default. Your log lives on the device you entered it on.
iCloud sync (optional): if you enable iCloud sync in SoloFamily's settings, Apple's CloudKit framework syncs your data across your own Apple devices, through your personal iCloud account. It is end-to-end encrypted by Apple and we cannot read it.
Exports: when you export a PDF or CSV, the file is generated on-device. Where it goes next is whatever you do with it — save to Files, email, AirDrop, etc.
Purchases: the Pro unlock purchase goes through Apple's StoreKit. Apple handles the transaction; SoloFamily only learns that Pro is unlocked.
What we don't do
No analytics, tracking SDKs, or third-party telemetry frameworks (no Firebase, no Mixpanel, no Sentry, no crash reporter).
No advertising, no ad identifiers.
No accounts, no email collection, no sign-in.
No ability to see or access your data on our end. There is no "our end."
Permissions SoloFamily may request
Photos: so you can attach photos to events, kids, and receipts. The app only reads images you explicitly pick.
Face ID / Touch ID: to lock the app, if you enable the feature. Biometrics are evaluated by the system; the app only receives a success/fail signal.
Notifications: for the optional daily reminder. Sent locally by the system, not from a server.
iCloud: only if you opt in. Uses your personal iCloud account.
Receipt scanning (OCR)
When you attach a photo to an expense, SoloFamily uses Apple's on-device Vision framework to try to read the amount and date from the image. This happens entirely on your iPhone. The photo and the extracted text never leave the device.
Children's privacy
SoloFamily stores information about the user's children (names, photos, dates of birth) as part of a personal parenting record. This data is entered by the adult user, stored on their own device, and is not collected, transmitted, or accessed by SoloFamily or any third party.
