the short version: we can't read your entries. they are stored on your devices and in your private icloud. retrack has no account system or data server of ours, no analytics, and no tracking. if you opt in, retrack can also write selected entries to apple health under your apple id. here's the long version.
updated september 24, 2026 for retrack 1.4, including testflight builds. version 1.3.1 and earlier do not use private cloud compute: their note analysis runs on the iphone. the personal suggestions and practice records described below apply to 1.4.
your entries, reactions, triggers, saved reaction-trigger pairs, reaction notes, gratitude entries, practice entries (which practice, when it started and ended, how long was planned, which kind of device ran it, and details such as the chosen routine or technique), drawn faces, reaction names, visibility and wheel placements, and syncable reminder preferences are stored on your iphone or apple watch. if you're signed into icloud, those records also sync to your private icloud database, which only your apple id can access. other iphone settings — including security and health choices, sounds and haptics, the apple intelligence choice, practice choices and active timer state — stay local, as do actual scheduled notifications. the widget's ordered one-to-four reaction or reaction-trigger pair choices also stay local to the iphone; apple's watchconnectivity sends that small selection directly to the paired watch, where its last-known copy is cached for offline use. apple encrypts private icloud data in transit and at rest. mostly lentils llc has no way to see, read, or recover any of it.
nothing. retrack contains no analytics, no advertising frameworks, and no tracking of any kind. it sends nothing to us; private icloud sync, private cloud compute, and the apple health writes you enable are handled by apple.
off unless you explicitly switch it on in retrack's settings on your iphone. focus and meditation sessions of at least one minute can be written as mindful minutes, including a meditation done on your apple watch, which your iphone writes when it next sees that practice entry and only within a week of it. breathing exercises, stretch, talk practices and gratitude entries are not written to health. reaction sharing is separate and future-only: new entries created under that iphone's sharing choice are eligible whether you log them in the iphone app, through siri or shortcuts, from its home screen widget or a control, or on its paired apple watch. each iphone keeps its own choice; one with sharing on does not adopt entries created under another iphone's off choice. the watch uses the last choice it received from its paired iphone, and the iphone checks when the entry was created before writing. the 11 newest reaction words and newly created reactions stay in retrack. custom reactions with a placement from the earlier pleasantness map keep that health value, without a guessed emotion label; moving them on the wheel does not change it. only the iphone app has health access. when retrack runs there, it makes a best-effort write for eligible entries and retries failures; an apple watch entry must first reach the iphone through your private icloud, so delivery is not necessarily immediate. turning reaction sharing on does not import older history, and entries created while it was off are excluded. editing or deleting an entry later does not update or remove its health copy. retrack only ever writes — it never reads anything back out of health, and asks for no permission to do so. entries already written belong to apple health under your control and stay there until you remove them in the health app.
daily check-in reminders are scheduled locally on your device. they never involve a server.
retrack offers possibilities from your saved triggers and broad examples. on supported iphones, apple's on-device model can also find short phrases in an individual note. that individual-note analysis stays on your phone.
personal suggestions can use your selected reaction and up to 20 recent entries from the last 90 days, including their reaction names, dates, entry identifiers, notes and saved triggers. apple intelligence is on by default for new installations: when supported and available, apple processes this limited context through private cloud compute. otherwise retrack tries the on-device model and falls back to saved triggers and broad examples. mostly lentils receives none of these requests or results. one apple intelligence switch in settings turns off note analysis, model-based personal suggestions and private cloud compute together. this choice stays on this iphone, and any earlier opt-out remains off after an update. saved-history and rule-based suggestions remain available. generated suggestions are held temporarily in memory and never automatically assigned to an entry.
when apple intelligence is on and you ask about entries in patterns, apple’s on-device model can interpret the words in your question. with it off, retrack uses the words in your question directly. retrack calculates counts from the selected dates and filters, and links answers to those saved entries. questions are not sent to an ai service or mostly lentils, and retrack does not save a question history or donate your entries to siri or spotlight search. manual search stays inside retrack. entries themselves may sync through your private icloud as described above.
retrack plus purchases are handled entirely by apple's app store. we receive no payment details — apple processes the purchase against your apple id, and the app only learns whether a subscription is active.
delete a logged reaction in the iphone app with a swipe, or erase a gratitude entry from its history. settings → start fresh deletes reaction, gratitude and practice entries, triggers and saved pairs row by row, so those deletions reach your other devices, including apple watch, as private icloud sync delivers them. custom reaction definitions and faces, home screen choices (without triggers), settings and reminders, active practice state, and apple health copies remain. a custom reaction can be hidden and later restored under settings → reactions, triggers + pairs, but retrack deliberately retains its definition so past entries keep its name and face. remove health copies in the health app. deleting retrack from a device removes its local app data, while private icloud copies follow your icloud settings (settings → apple id → icloud → manage storage).
retrack is not directed at children under 13 and collects no data from anyone, of any age.
