Privacy Policy

A Little True does not collect any data. There is no account, no server, and nothing to opt out of.

Last updated: July 30, 2026

The short version

A Little True has no account, no sign-up, and no login.
A Little True has no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind.
A Little True has no server. The app does not send your information anywhere.
Everything you write or record stays on your device.

What stays on your device

A Little True stores the following on your iPhone or iPad, and only there:

Your affirmations — the text, whether an affirmation is built in, enabled, or a favorite, and its order.
Which affirmations were selected for a given day.
Which affirmations you completed or skipped, and when a day's set was finished.
An optional reflection you may choose after finishing a day's practice.
Your settings — how many affirmations per day, the system voice and speaking rate you picked, and whether your own affirmation wording may appear in widgets.
Whether you turned on a daily reminder, and the time you chose.

These records are stored in a local database in the app's own storage, protected by iOS file protection. iCloud sync is not enabled.

Speaking an affirmation

Saying an affirmation aloud is always optional. You can complete every part of the practice without ever using the microphone.

If you do choose to speak, A Little True asks for microphone and speech recognition permission first, and recognition runs on your device. Audio, partial results, final transcripts, and timing information are held only for the moment they are needed and are then discarded. None of it is written to storage, and none of it is sent to the developer or to any other service.

A Little True does not score your pronunciation, your accuracy, or whether you sounded convinced.

Widgets

The Home and Lock Screen widgets read a small summary file that the app writes to a shared container on your device. By default that file uses built-in wording rather than your own, so personal affirmations are not shown on your Home or Lock Screen. You can change this in Settings under "Show personal affirmations in widgets."

The widget summary never contains reflections, skipped items, voice or reminder settings, microphone audio, or recognition text. The widget performs no networking.

Notifications

If you turn on the daily reminder, A Little True schedules a local notification on your device. Its text is always the same generic message — "Your affirmations are ready." — and it never contains your affirmation or reflection text.

What A Little True does not do

It does not create an account or collect an email address, name, or phone number.
It does not use advertising identifiers or track you across apps or websites.
It does not use analytics, crash reporting services, or third-party SDKs that collect data.
It does not sell or share information, because it does not have any to sell or share.
It does not send your affirmations, reflections, voice, or usage to the developer.

Children

A Little True does not collect data from anyone, including children. It has no accounts, no messaging, no social features, and no user content shared between people.

Deleting your data

Because everything is stored on your device, deleting the app removes it. Settings inside the app also let you clear reflections, clear practice history, or delete all local data.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of A Little True ever changes what it stores or transmits, this page will be updated before that version ships, and the date at the top will change.
