The Short Version
Your data never leaves your device. Unfried is built local-first. We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal data to any server. There are no user accounts, no analytics tracking, and no third-party data sharing.
What Data Unfried Stores
All data is stored locally on your device using SQLite. This includes:
- Screen time usage records — per-app usage minutes, fetched from your device's screen time APIs
- Cook level history — daily snapshots of your fry's cook level
- Streaks and achievements — your progress toward badges and streak milestones
- App settings — your daily limit, tracked apps, notification preferences, and fry name
- Dead fries — the Fryward graveyard memorial data
This data exists only on your phone. If you uninstall Unfried, all data is permanently deleted.
Screen Time Permissions
Unfried requests access to your device's usage statistics to track how much time you spend on selected apps:
- Android — Uses the UsageStatsManager API, which requires the PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS permission. You must grant this manually in system settings.
- iOS — Uses the Screen Time API (DeviceActivityFramework / FamilyControls), which requires your explicit authorization.
This usage data is processed entirely on your device. It is never sent anywhere.
Notifications
Unfried uses local push notifications to alert you when your fry's cook level reaches certain thresholds. These notifications are generated and scheduled entirely on your device. No notification data is sent to any server.
In-App Purchases
Unfried offers optional premium features via in-app subscriptions. These purchases are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We do not have access to your payment information. Please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy or Google's Privacy Policy for how they handle purchase data.
Third-Party Services
Unfried does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not use Firebase, Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, or any similar tools.
