Daybreak Pals

Privacy

The short, plain version of what Daybreak Pals uses and why.

Last updated 13 November 2026. This policy covers the Daybreak Pals iPhone app and this website.

The short version

Daybreak Pals has no account, no sign-up and no ads. The app asks for location or calendar access only when you turn those on. It sends some data to Apple, PostHog and RevenueCat, as described below.

What the app uses

  • Alarms. Alarms are scheduled with Apple’s AlarmKit, so the system can ring them with the app closed.
  • Calendar (optional). iOS asks for full calendar access. The app only reads today’s events to show them in your brief. It never adds, changes or deletes events.
  • Location (optional). If you allow it (after you tap Show weather or Use my location), the app uses your approximate location to get the weather and sunrise times where you are. You can pick a city instead.
  • Weather. The app gets the forecast for your location or city from Apple Weather (WeatherKit).
  • Place names. City search and the place name shown for your location use Apple Maps, which receives what you type or your approximate location.

Anonymous usage data (PostHog)

“Share anonymous usage data” is in Settings and is on unless you turn it off. While it is on, the app sends a few app events to PostHog (an analytics service, EU servers): for example when you open Today, and when you stop an alarm. Each event carries a random ID and device and app details: device model, iOS and app version, language, time zone, screen size and network type. PostHog also receives your IP address. The events don’t include your calendar events, the weather, or your location beyond the time zone. The event sent when you stop an alarm shows when that happened.

When you turn it off, the app stops sending new events, and from the next launch it doesn’t start PostHog.

Purchases (RevenueCat)

Purchases and restores of Daybreak Pals Plus go through Apple and RevenueCat. Each time the app starts, it contacts RevenueCat with a random app user ID to check whether Plus is unlocked. RevenueCat receives your App Store purchase history for the app, device and app details (iOS and app version, App Store country) and your IP address. When the Plus screen opens and closes, that is sent to RevenueCat too. This happens whether or not “Share anonymous usage data” is on. The app never logs you in to RevenueCat and sets no other details about you.
