Private by default. Local by design.

HabitKit keeps the core of your data on your device.

HabitKit is designed around local-first storage. Depending on how you use the app, it may store the following on your device:

• habit names, descriptions, icons, colors, categories, targets, and notes
• habit completion history and manual progress entries
• scheduled reminder times and notification preferences
• deep focus session preferences and focus history
• appearance and dashboard settings
• optional backup files you choose to export or import

Your information is used to make the app work.

HabitKit uses stored information to provide features you expect, including:

• showing your habits, streaks, categories, statistics, and focus sessions
• saving reminder schedules and triggering local notifications when enabled
• remembering theme, dashboard, and scheduling preferences
• creating exportable backup files when you choose to do so
• restoring local data from a backup file you import

HabitKit is not designed to build advertising profiles from your habit activity. If that changes in a future version, this policy should be updated before those changes take effect.

Reminder notifications are optional and controlled by you.

If you allow notification access, HabitKit can schedule local reminder notifications on your device for daily check-ins and habit reminder times.

If notification permission is denied, reminder alerts may not be shown until you enable them again in system settings.

Backups happen only when you choose to create or restore them.

HabitKit can export your app data to a JSON backup file and restore it later. These backups are initiated by you and may be stored or shared using tools or destinations you select.

• exported files may contain your habits, history, reminders, categories, and app preferences
• importing a backup can replace the current local data on your device
• if you share a backup file, the privacy of that file depends on how and where you share it

HabitKit does not share your data as part of its normal local workflow.

HabitKit does not need a cloud account to function and is designed to keep your personal habit data on your device by default.

Data may leave your device only if you take an action such as exporting and sharing a backup or if the platform provider collects information independently under its own store, operating system, or crash-reporting policies.

Your data stays as long as you keep it.

HabitKit stores app data locally on your device. The retention period is generally controlled by you:

• delete the app to remove locally stored data that is not preserved elsewhere
• use the app’s clear local data option to erase stored habits and related records
• delete exported backups separately if you no longer want to keep them

No method of storage is perfectly secure, but HabitKit is designed to minimize unnecessary collection and transmission by keeping core data local.

You stay in control of your routine data.

• you can edit or delete habits, categories, and notes at any time
• you can pause, archive, or restore habits inside the app
• you can allow or deny notifications through system permissions
• you can export your data, import a backup, or clear local data

If you access HabitKit through an app store, subscription platform, or device ecosystem, those providers may also offer privacy controls that apply to their own data handling.
