Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1/13/2026

höruf is designed for digital wellness and privacy. It uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks (FamilyControls, DeviceActivity and ManagedSettings) to run session-based limits and cooldowns entirely on your device.

What we collect

höruf does not create accounts and does not collect personal data for tracking or analytics. The app stores the following on your device:

Management settings (session limit, cooldowns)
Your selection of apps, categories and web domains to manage
Runtime state (current session/cooldown timestamps)

Storage is implemented via Apple App Group UserDefaults to share settings between the app and its extensions.

On-device processing

App activity monitoring and shielding are provided by Apple's Screen Time APIs. höruf does not transmit your app usage or selections to any server.

Notifications

höruf may send optional local notifications (e.g., a one-minute remaining reminder). You can enable or disable these in the app settings or iOS Settings.

Third-party service: WishKit

höruf includes an in-app feedback board powered by WishKit. If you choose to submit feedback or a feature request, the content you submit (and only what you submit) is sent to WishKit so we can view and manage it. höruf does not send any usage analytics to WishKit, and we do not provide personal identifiers. If you include contact details in your feedback, that information will be visible to us via WishKit.

Third-party service: PostHog

höruf uses PostHog for product analytics to help us understand how the app is used and improve the user experience. PostHog collects usage data such as feature interactions and session information, along with a distinct ID generated by PostHog to identify your app instance. No app usage details from Screen Time are sent to PostHog. You can learn more about PostHog's privacy practices at posthog.com/docs/privacy.

Advertising

höruf contains no ads.

Data retention

Your settings and state remain on your device and are removed when you delete the app. Feedback you submit via WishKit is stored by WishKit on our behalf until we delete it.

Contact

For privacy questions or requests, open höruf and go to Settings → Feedback to contact us. You can also reach us via the App Store listing's support link.

Changes

We may update this policy as höruf evolves. We will update the “Last updated” date above when changes are made.
