Privacy policy

momm holds your sign-in details, the answers you gave her, the rules you set, and the sessions you finished. She cannot see your screen-time figures or which apps you use — not by choice, but because Apple doesn't let any third-party app read them.

We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and there's no analytics or tracking on this site.

Only what the app needs to work, and all of it either came from you or from the account you signed in with.

• Your account — an identifier from our authentication provider, plus the name and email address Google or Apple hands over when you sign in. There is no password, because we never take one.
• What you told momm during setup — the estimates you picked, the goal you chose, and the free-text answers you typed, like the thing you'd rather be doing. Your scrolling estimate is your own guess, never a measurement, and every screen that shows it says so.
• Your rules — the name you gave each one, whether it's a schedule or a daily limit, the days and times, and whether it's paused.
• How many things a rule covers — a count of apps, categories, and websites. Never which ones. See the next section.
• Your finished focus sessions — how long each was planned for, when it started and ended, and whether you saw it through.
• How you'd like momm to show up — which of her block screens you picked.
• What momm said to you — when a blocked app was opened, the line she used. This exists so the conversation reads as continuous instead of as a fresh popup every time. It is not a failure counter, nothing in the app totals it, and no screen tells you how many times you've been here.
• Support messages — the name, email address, and message you type into the support page on this site.
• Your waitlist email, if you gave us one here.

This is the important part, and it isn't a promise we're choosing to make — it's a wall Apple built and we live behind it, exactly like every other app of this kind.

• Your screen time. Per-app hours, pickups and totals are readable only inside a sandboxed extension that renders them on the screen and is forbidden from passing them anywhere else. They never reach momm's own code, so they are never sent to us and never stored in our database. When you see those figures in the app, iOS is drawing them, not us.
• Which apps you block. When you choose apps, Apple returns an encrypted token, not a list — no names, no bundle identifiers, no icons. That token stays on your device. All we ever learn is how many things you picked, which is why the app says "11 apps" and never names one.
• Anything on your screen. momm doesn't read your notifications, your messages, or your browsing.

One consequence worth knowing: because the encrypted token stays on the device that made it, a rule you set on your phone knows its count on your other devices but can't enforce itself there until you pick its apps again. That's Apple's design, and the privacy above is what you get in exchange.

• To run the app — a rule has to be stored somewhere to exist, and it's in our database so it survives a reinstall and reads the same on every device.
• To keep momm's read on your day honest. Session times carry our server's own timestamp as well as your phone's, because a device clock can be turned back and a streak built on one would be a lie.
• To answer you when you write in.
• To fix what's broken, using error logs that don't carry your data.

We don't build advertising profiles, we don't sell or rent anything to anybody, and we don't use what you tell momm to train anything.

A short list on purpose. Each of these does one job and is bound to use your data only for it.

• Clerk — sign-in and account management.
• Convex — the database the app's data lives in.
• Apple and Google — the sign-in you chose, and the stores the app is distributed through. Their own privacy terms cover what they do on their side.
• Vercel — hosting for this website.

This site sets no cookies of its own, loads no third-party fonts at page load, and runs no analytics or advertising code. If that changes, this list changes with it.

Your app data stays while your account does. Delete your account from the settings screen and we clear your rows from our database and delete your record with our authentication provider — no waiting period, no reactivation, no undo.

Support messages and waitlist emails aren't attached to your account, so deleting your account doesn't remove them. Ask us and we'll delete those too. Backups age out on their own within a short window.

momm isn't directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect anything from them. If you're a parent and think we have your child's data, write to us through the support page and we'll delete it.

Wherever you live, you can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Deletion you can do yourself in the app; for the rest, use the support page and tell us the email address you signed in with.

Depending on where you live you may also have the right to object to how we use your data, or to complain to your local data protection authority. We'd rather you told us first, but the route is yours.

Our providers run on infrastructure in several countries, so your data may be handled outside the one you're in. Where the law requires it, transfers are covered by the standard contractual protections those providers offer.

When this policy changes we'll move the effective date at the top, and if the change matters we'll tell you in the app rather than hoping you re-read this page.

Anything about your data — a copy of it, a correction, a deletion, or just a question — goes through the support page, and a person reads it.
