Wakr ("the app", "we") is a smart alarm clock that requires a real photo to dismiss. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app handles, where it goes, and what choices you have.

The short version: nothing you do in Wakr leaves your phone.

Who runs Wakr

Wakr is built and operated by Dmitrii Zausaev (sole developer). For privacy questions, email [email protected].

Data we collect

None of the following ever leaves your device:

• Photos taken inside the app. When you complete a morning mission, the camera takes a photo and Wakr's verification runs locally using Apple's Vision framework. Photos are not uploaded, not stored after verification, and not retained.
• Alarm settings. Your alarm times, missions, sound choices, and weekday schedule are saved in Apple's SwiftData on your iPhone.
• Wake-up history. When you complete a mission, Wakr records the date, mission, and whether you passed — used only to build your streak grid and insights. This data stays in local storage on your device.
• App preferences. Theme, onboarding state.

We do not collect analytics. We do not use third-party tracking SDKs. We have no servers that hold your data.

Permissions Wakr requests

• Camera — required to verify your morning mission photo. The photo is processed on-device and not retained.
• Alarms (AlarmKit) — required to schedule alarms that break through Silent Mode and Focus, the way the iPhone's built-in Clock app does.
• Notifications — used to surface the alarm itself; we send no marketing pushes.
• Photos (write-only) — optional; only used if you choose to save a successful mission photo to your library.

You can review or revoke any of these in iOS Settings → Wakr.

Subscriptions

Wakr offers a paid subscription. Payment is handled by Apple via the App Store. We never see your card number, billing address, or other personal payment data — Apple shares with us only your subscription status (active / lapsed / refunded) and a transaction identifier.
