No account, no server, no analytics, no tracking. Your habit log lives in one file on your iPhone, and the app has nowhere to send it. This website is a separate thing and counts its visitors, without cookies and without anything that could identify you: see This website below.
miniHabits does not collect anything. There is no account to create, no server to talk to, and no analytics or advertising SDK in the app.
Your habits, your logs and your settings live in a single file inside the app’s own storage on your iPhone. They are never uploaded anywhere by the app.
Everything you enter — habit names, the days you logged, your routines, your theme — is written to one JSON file in the app’s private container on the device.
That container is covered by your device passcode and by whatever backup you have chosen yourself. If iCloud Backup is on, iOS may include the file in your own encrypted device backup. That is a setting of yours, on your Apple account, and miniHabits neither reads it nor controls it.
Deleting the app deletes the file and everything in it. There is no copy anywhere else.
No account, no email address, no sign-in. No advertising, no ad identifier, no tracking across apps or websites. No analytics, no crash reporting, no telemetry of any kind. No data is sold, shared, or transmitted to us or to anyone else, because none of it leaves the device.
A habit can be set to a Health mode so it fills itself from data you already record. If you use it, the app asks for read-only permission through Apple’s Health framework, and you grant it per data type.
Health data read this way is used only to show the value on the habit in question, on your device. It is never written back to Health, never included in anything transmitted, and never used for advertising. You can revoke the permission at any time in the Health app.
Both paid plans — the yearly subscription and the lifetime unlock — are processed by Apple. Payment happens entirely inside Apple’s system: miniHabits never sees your card, your address or your Apple Account. The app only ever learns whether an entitlement exists, from the receipt Apple stores on the device.
miniHabits is not directed at children and collects no personal data from anyone, of any age.
Everything above is about the app, and none of it changes. The website is a separate thing, and it counts its visitors.
Every page of minihabits.co loads a visit counter from umami.fberrez.co. Umami is self-hosted on our own machine rather than rented from an analytics vendor, so the traffic data never becomes a third party's asset. It is cookieless: it stores nothing on your device, sets no identifier, cannot recognise you on a second visit and cannot follow you to another site. What it records is the page, the referrer that sent you, and a coarse country, browser and device type, all worked out from the request itself and never from anything left on your machine.
There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to. If your browser sends Do Not Track, the counter switches itself off and records nothing at all. You can also turn it off yourself, on any browser, by setting umami.disabled to 1 in this site’s local storage.
The free tools are unaffected in the way that matters. The page view is counted like any other; the data you paste into them is not. The heatmap generator, the 75 Hard tracker, the morning routine planner and the theme builder all run entirely in your browser and keep what you enter in your own browser storage, which is why none of them asks for an email.
The app remains the strict version of this: no account, no server, no analytics, nothing to phone home to.
If a future release ever collects anything, this page will say so before that release ships, and the App Store privacy labels will be updated with it.
