Sleep Sooner does not collect your data. There is no account, no server, and no analytics. Nothing the app records about you leaves your iPhone.

This is not only a policy choice. Sleep Sooner reads how long you have been on your phone using Apple's Screen Time APIs, and Apple's rules for those APIs forbid that information from leaving the device. The app also contains no networking code of any kind.

What Sleep Sooner stores on your phone

All of it stays in the app's own storage on your device, and all of it is deleted when you delete the app:

• Your schedule — bedtime, wake time, which nights it runs, and your notification preferences.
• A record of your nights — for each night, whether you were past your bedtime, roughly how long, and the level the app reached. This is what the week and month charts are drawn from.
• Which messages you have been shown recently, so the app does not repeat itself.
• Which apps or categories you chose to have watched. This is stored as an opaque token supplied by iOS. Sleep Sooner cannot read the names of those apps, and neither can we.

What Sleep Sooner never does

• It does not transmit anything, to us or to anyone else.
• It has no analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or third-party SDKs.
• It does not track you across apps or websites.
• It does not read your messages, browsing, photos, contacts, or location.
• It does not know who you are. There is no sign-in.

Screen Time access

Sleep Sooner asks for Screen Time (Family Controls) access so it can tell whether you are actually on your phone past your bedtime. What it receives from iOS is limited: a signal that a usage threshold has been crossed for the apps or categories you picked. It does not receive a list of what you used or for how long, and nothing it does receive is stored beyond the night it belongs to.

Sleep Sooner never blocks, shields, or restricts any app.

If you decline Screen Time access, Sleep Sooner still works on a clock — it can tell you bedtime has arrived, but not whether you are ignoring it.
