Privacy Policy
Wakelift is made by Cassian Vire, the publishing name of Amangeldy Baiserkeev, an individual developer (“I”, “me”). This policy explains what the app does with your data.

The short version
Wakelift has no accounts, no advertising and no tracking. Your alarms, missions and wake-up history stay on your device. The camera is used only while you do a mission, and video never leaves your phone. To sell Wakelift Pro, the app uses Apple’s App Store and the Adapty subscription service, which receive a random app identifier and your purchase history.
What is stored on your device
- your alarms, sounds (including sounds you import from Files) and mission settings, including the barcode you set up for a scan mission;
- your wake-up history, streaks and how many reps or steps you did;
- your settings and whether Wakelift Pro is active.
This data is shared only between the app and its widget on the same device. It is not sent to me or anyone else. Deleting the app removes it.
Camera and motion
For push-up, squat and similar missions, the app uses the camera to count repetitions with Apple’s on-device Vision framework. Video is processed in real time on your iPhone, is not recorded or stored, and is never sent anywhere. The camera is also used for the light mission (only the brightness of the image is measured) and to read a barcode or QR code you chose; images are processed on your device and not stored. Step and turn-over missions use the iPhone’s motion data (Motion & Fitness permission for steps) on your device; the app does not use Apple Health.
Weather and calendar
If you turn on the morning summary, the app shows today’s weather and up to three of today’s calendar events after your alarm. For weather it uses your approximate location while the app is in use; Apple’s WeatherKit receives this approximate location to return the forecast (see Apple’s privacy policy). Calendar access is used only to read today’s events on your device; events are never sent to me or anyone else. Both are off by default and can be turned off in Settings.
Photo missions and AI
Some missions ask you to take a photo (for example, a made bed or a glass of water) to check that the task is done. The check runs on your device with Apple Intelligence when it is available. On devices without it, the photo you take for the mission is sent over an encrypted connection to my server and to Anthropic’s Claude API only to answer “is the task done”. Nothing is stored on my server, and Anthropic does not use API data to train its models. Photos are not kept by the app after the check.
Alarms and notifications
Alarms, the wake-up check, bedtime and “no alarm for tomorrow” reminders use Apple’s AlarmKit and local notifications on your device. They are not sent through any server.
Purchases and subscriptions
Wakelift Pro is sold through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes the payment; I never see your name, payment details or Apple Account. The app uses Adapty (adapty.io) to show the Pro offer and check whether your purchase is active. Adapty receives a random identifier created by the app, your purchase history for Wakelift, basic device and app information (device model, system version, app version, language, region) and your IP address. This is used only to provide and restore purchases and to understand which offers work, not for advertising. See Adapty’s privacy policy.
Anonymous usage statistics
To learn which features are used and where the app can be improved, Wakelift sends anonymous usage signals to TelemetryDeck (telemetrydeck.com), a privacy-focused analytics service based in the EU. A signal says, for example, that onboarding was completed or that a feature was used. It contains an anonymized identifier that cannot be traced back to you, the app version, the system version, device model and language. It never contains your name, email, the content you enter, photos or health or financial data, and it is not used for advertising or tracking across apps. See TelemetryDeck’s privacy policy.
What is not collected
Wakelift does not collect your name, email, contacts or location, and has no advertising tools. The app does not ask to track you.
Your choices
You can turn off camera access at any time in iPhone Settings and use other missions. Delete the app to remove its data from your device. For questions about purchase data held by Adapty, write to [email protected] with the purchase date.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date.
