Steadily Privacy Policy
Steadily: Habit Tracker is an iPhone app for keeping small daily habits, with Done, Swap and Rest entries and a consistency score. This page explains what the app does with your information.
- There are no accounts and no login. Your habits (their names and any memo), your daily entries and your scores are stored on your iPhone. The developer does not receive them. If you use sync across devices (through iCloud), a benefit of Steadily Plus, your habits and entries are also kept in your own iCloud (Apple) and synced between your devices, and the developer cannot see or receive them. Without Plus they stay on your iPhone only. Usage statistics and feedback mail never contain the names or memos of your habits or anything you type; statistics only say what kind of action happened, for example that a day was marked Rest (section 4).
- Steadily shows no ads. It has one optional in-app purchase, Steadily Plus, and Apple processes the payment; the developer does not receive your payment details. Steadily does not track you across other companies’ apps and websites.
- Steadily sends anonymous usage statistics to PostHog to learn how features are used. It never sends the names of your habits or anything you type, and you can turn this off in Settings. In the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland it is off until you turn it on.
- Deleting the app deletes your habits and entries from your iPhone. If you sync across devices (Plus), the copy in your iCloud stays until you delete it (section 7).
1. Who is responsible
The operator of Steadily is Kirade (an individual developer). Questions about privacy: kirade.apps+steadily@gmail.com.
Person responsible for privacy: Kirade, kirade.apps+steadily@gmail.com.
2. Where your data is stored
Steadily stores the following on your iPhone, in storage that the app and its widgets share:
- Your habits: the name of each habit, its start day, its order, whether it is archived, and an optional memo
- Your entries: for each habit and each day, Done, Swap or Rest. Your consistency scores are calculated from these on the device.
- Which habit each of your widgets shows
- Your app settings, such as whether anonymous usage statistics are on, and a few counters that decide when the app may ask for an App Store rating (the days on which you recorded an entry, and the version for which it last asked)
Steadily has no accounts and no server of its own for this data. The developer does not receive this data. Without Steadily Plus, your habits and entries are only on your iPhone and are not synced anywhere.
Sync across devices (Steadily Plus). If you use sync across devices, a benefit of Steadily Plus, your habits and entries (the first two items above) are also stored in your own iCloud, using Apple’s CloudKit, in a private database that belongs to your Apple Account. They are synced between devices signed in to the same Apple Account. Apple stores and handles this data under your agreement with Apple. The developer cannot see it and does not receive it. Your other app settings stay on your iPhone.
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off iCloud for Steadily on a device that syncs with Steadily Plus, iOS may remove the synced habits and records from that device. They stay in your iCloud and come back when you sign in again with the same Apple Account. Records you add in the meantime are kept on that iPhone.
If you sign in with a different iCloud account, sync pauses and the records on the device stay as they are.
The usage statistics in section 4 describe your actions by kind only; they never include the names or memos of your habits, your scores, or which earlier day you changed, and they do not change when you sync across devices. Deleting the app deletes this data from your iPhone; a copy in your iCloud is separate (section 7). If you back up your iPhone (to iCloud or a computer), the backup can include this data, as with most apps.
From time to time Steadily may ask you for an App Store rating through Apple’s standard rating prompt, at most once per app version. Apple handles your answer under its own policies, and the developer does not receive it.
3. Ads, purchases and tracking
Steadily shows no ads.
Steadily Plus (in-app purchase). Steadily is free to use with up to 3 active habits. Steadily Plus is a one-time purchase that removes that limit and adds sync across devices through iCloud (section 2). It is not a subscription and does not renew. Habits and entries you have already made are never locked. The price is set by Apple for your App Store country and is shown by Apple before you buy.
- Apple processes the payment. The developer does not receive your payment details or information about your Apple account.
- Whether you have bought Plus is checked on your iPhone from Apple’s purchase records (StoreKit). The developer has no server and does not keep a list of buyers.
- To get Plus again after reinstalling the app or on another iPhone that uses the same Apple Account, use Restore Purchases in Settings. Refunds are handled by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com); the developer cannot issue them.
Tracking. Steadily does not use the iOS advertising identifier (IDFA), does not show the iOS tracking permission prompt, and does not link your data with data from other companies’ apps and websites for advertising or share it with data brokers.
4. Usage statistics (PostHog)
To understand how features are used and to improve the app, Steadily sends usage events to the analytics service of PostHog, Inc.
What is sent
- What happened in the app and its kind: the app was opened; a habit was created, archived or deleted (with a range for how many active habits you have afterwards: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4–5 or 6 or more); a day was recorded (whether it is Done, Swap or Rest, whether the day is today or an earlier day, whether it was recorded in the app or in a widget, and a range for how many days had passed since the previous entry for that habit: first entry, 1, 2, 3–6 or 7 or more); an entry was cleared (whether the day is today or an earlier day, and whether it was cleared in the app or in a widget); and, at most once a day, how many small and how many medium Steadily widgets are on your Home Screen (0, 1 or 2 or more of each). When you record a day in a widget, the app sends that event the next time it opens.
- Purchases, by kind only: the Steadily Plus payment screen was opened (and where from: adding a habit, restoring a habit from the archive, or Settings); Plus was purchased (and from which payment screen); purchases were restored.
- When each event happened, the app name and version, build type (App Store, TestFlight or development), iOS version, device model and type, language, time zone, screen size, network type (Wi-Fi or cellular)
- A random identifier created when the app is installed. It is deleted with the app and replaced when you reinstall.
What is not sent
- The names or memos of your habits or anything else you type, any identifier of a habit, which earlier day you recorded or changed (only whether it was today or an earlier day), your consistency scores, your name, your email address, the advertising identifier (IDFA), device identifiers such as the identifier for vendors (IDFV), location, and, for purchases, the price, currency, product ID, transaction ID or any information about your Apple Account
- The app does not create a user profile and does not link usage events to anything that identifies you. PostHog receives your IP address while the data is transmitted, but the project is set not to derive location from it and not to store it.
Where it is stored. PostHog stores the data in the United States.
How to turn it off or on. Settings → Send Anonymous Usage Statistics. Usage after you turn the switch off is not sent. Events that were already waiting on your iPhone at that moment may still be sent while the app stays open, or later if you turn the switch back on. The app works the same whether the switch is on or off. For users whose App Store country is in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the switch is off by default and nothing is sent until you turn it on. The app does not show a pop-up asking about this. Users elsewhere have it on by default. Until the app can tell your App Store country, it sends nothing.
Retention. Events are kept by PostHog for 1 year and are no longer queryable after that. They are used only to improve the app.
5. Feedback mail
Settings → Send Feedback opens your mail app with a message to kirade.apps+steadily@gmail.com. The message contains the app version, your iOS version and your iPhone model, and never your habits or entries. You can edit it before sending. The developer receives it only if you press Send, and uses it only to answer you and to fix problems. The mail passes through your own mail provider.
6. Users in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland
- Anonymous usage statistics are off by default for you. They are sent only if you turn on Send Anonymous Usage Statistics in Settings, and you can turn them off again at any time.
- Steadily shows no ads, so there is no advertising consent form.
- The developer does not receive or keep your habits or your record of entries. They are on your iPhone and, if you sync across devices (Plus), in your own iCloud, so you can view, change and delete them in the app, or by deleting the app and your iCloud copy (section 7). If you turn on usage statistics, they describe your actions by kind only (section 4).
- PostHog processes data under its own policy. To use your rights with PostHog, see PostHog’s Privacy Policy and section 4.
7. Deleting data and how long it is kept
- Delete a habit: in the app. Its entries are deleted with it, and your other habits stay. If you sync across devices, the deletion syncs to your other devices. Archiving a habit hides it from Today and the widgets but keeps its entries.
- Delete the app: deletes your habits, entries and the other data in section 2 from your iPhone. It also deletes the random identifier used for usage statistics. If you sync across devices (Plus), deleting the app does not delete the copy in your iCloud, and your habits and entries come back if you install Steadily again with the same Apple Account and iCloud turned on. Without Plus, deleting the app deletes them for good.
- Delete the copy in iCloud (Plus): on your iPhone, open Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Steadily and delete its data (menu names can differ by iOS version). The developer cannot delete it for you.
- Stop usage statistics: turn off Send Anonymous Usage Statistics in Settings.
How long data is kept:
- Data on your iPhone stays until you delete it or delete the app.
- If you sync across devices (Plus), the copy in your iCloud stays until you delete it, as described above, or until you stop using that iCloud storage.
- The developer holds no copy of your habits or your record of entries, so there is nothing of them on the developer’s side to delete.
- Usage events already sent are kept by PostHog for 1 year. Because they are tied only to a random identifier, the developer cannot tell which events are yours and cannot delete them one by one.
8. Transfers of personal information outside Korea
Below are the items listed in Article 28-8(2) of Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act for the one company that receives information from the app.
PostHog (usage statistics)

Storing your habits and entries in iCloud (Steadily Plus) is not a transfer by the developer. Apple stores them under your own iCloud agreement with Apple, and the developer does not receive them. That is why iCloud is not in the table above.
Steadily shares user data only with the provider named in this policy: PostHog (usage statistics). Under its published terms and policies, PostHog protects user data at a level the same as or equal to what this policy describes.
9. Your rights
You can view, edit and delete the data on your iPhone in the app at any time, and the copy in your iCloud as described in section 7. The developer holds no copy of your habits or entries and does not know who you are, so there is almost nothing to look up. If you still have a request or a complaint, write to kirade.apps+steadily@gmail.com. For data held by PostHog, you can also contact them using the link above.
You can change your usage statistics choice at any time (section 4).
10. TestFlight
If you install a test build through Apple’s TestFlight, the developer can see in App Store Connect the email address and name you were invited with, your sessions and crashes (depending on your iOS analytics settings), and any feedback you send, including screenshots. Apple provides this data. Steadily does not collect it itself.
11. Children
Steadily is not directed to children under 14 (under 13 in the United States). If you believe a child has used the app, contact kirade.apps+steadily@gmail.com.
12. Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new effective date.
