Most apps ask you to trust their privacy promise. We would rather you check it. Everything below is something you can verify yourself, without taking our word for anything.
Turn on airplane mode
Put your phone in airplane mode and open Her Almanac. Record a symptom, write a journal entry, add an appointment. Everything works. Nothing can be sent anywhere, because there is nowhere for it to go. The app has no server to reach even when it has a connection.
Watch the network yourself
If you know how to capture your phone's network traffic, do it while you use the app. With the optional weather feature off, you will see the app make no network requests at all. If you type a city into the weather feature, you will see exactly two requests to Open-Meteo, a weather service in Switzerland: one carrying the city name you typed, and one carrying the coordinates it returns. No account identifier, no advertising identifier, no device identifier, and nothing you recorded. That is the entire network footprint of the app.
Read the code paths we describe
Our privacy policy describes what the app does in plain terms, and our in-app Privacy and Security screen lists exactly what is stored and what is deleted. If you ever find a place where our words and our app disagree, that is a bug we want to fix, and we would rather hear it from you than have it be true.
Tell us what you find
Email hello@heralmanac.app with anything that does not match what we claim. We keep a dated public archive of every version of our policies, so you can always check what we said and when. Verification is the whole point. We built the app so that checking is possible on purpose.
