Your practice
is private.

Your practice stays yours

Daypause stores meditation history, optional feeling check-ins, preferences, daily completion, and same-day paused progress in protected local app storage. No Daypause account is required. The app has no advertising, analytics SDKs, tracking, or connection to a Daypause server. We do not receive your meditation history or Health data.

On Apple Watch, the full meditation library works independently of the iPhone app. When both apps are installed on paired devices, practice history, optional check-ins, deletions, daily completion, and same-day paused progress sync through Apple’s Watch Connectivity framework. The daily reminder choice and time sync too; Voice, Text, appearance, and permissions stay on the device where you set them. Health permission is requested separately on each device; syncing history does not create additional Health records.

Automatic iCloud sync

Daypause syncs automatically when iCloud is available. History, optional check-ins, daily completion, deletions, and same-day paused progress are stored in your private CloudKit database in your Apple iCloud account. Apple provides this storage; it counts toward your iCloud storage allowance. We cannot view your private practice database. No separate Daypause account is created. Unfinished sessions still expire at local midnight, and all meditation content remains available offline.

The daily reminder choice and time sync with your practice. Voice, text, appearance, notification permissions, and Health permissions remain device-specific. Health records and the intervals used to write Mindful Minutes are never included in Daypause’s iCloud sync. Sync may wait for a connection or for the operating system to allow background activity. Apple manages iCloud availability through your system settings. Meditation remains available without an iCloud connection.

Audio, permissions, and reminders

English narration is included with the app and plays offline. Playing a meditation does not send text or audio to a server. Daypause does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, or location. Reminders are optional local notifications, scheduled after you allow them. Today’s reminder is omitted if you have completed today’s meditation.

Optional Apple Health connection

With your permission, Daypause writes actual time spent meditating as Mindful Minutes, including partial sessions. Pauses and skipped sections are excluded. The app does not read existing Health records. Unsaved intervals remain in protected local storage for retry; sync identifiers prevent duplicate writes. Disconnect in the app to stop future writes. Manage authorization and existing records in Apple Health. Apple controls Health storage, syncing, and backups according to your settings.

Backups, exports, and deletion

Your operating system may include app data in device backups according to your settings. On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, you can export JSON backups and CSV history through the system sharing or save controls; these include history and check-ins, and you choose where to send them. Restore merges saved history and preferences without granting reminder or Health access or replaying old Health writes. You can erase your practice in You → Manage data, or Settings → Manage data on Watch, which also removes scheduled reminders. Erasing removes the synced history, check-ins, paused progress, and reminder across connected devices when they next sync; local preferences reset only on the device where you erase. Choose Erase all data while signed in to iCloud to erase the synced practice. A small deletion marker remains so an offline device cannot restore erased history. This does not erase earlier exports, device backups, or records already saved in Apple Health. Deleting a history entry does not remove that day’s completion marker. You can replay the daily meditation without deleting history.
