Anonymous analytics

To improve GentleKeep, we collect anonymous usage data:

Feature usage

Which features you use (e.g., Courage Replay, proof types) — never the content itself.

App health

Basic diagnostics to help us fix issues and improve performance.

What we never collect:

✕ Your proof text or photos

✕ Personal notes or feedback

✕ Device identifiers or IP addresses

Analytics data is not linked to your identity and helps us make GentleKeep better for everyone.

What we don't do

✕ No cloud sync — your data never leaves your device

✕ No advertising — no ads, ever

✕ No third-party data sharing — we don't sell or share analytics data

✕ No account required — no email, no sign-up

✕ No content collection — we can't see your proofs or personal text
