Reti — Privacy Policy
Reti for iPhone and iPad · Norvela LLC · Last updated 26 September 2026
https://norvela.app/reti-privacy.html
The short version. Reti makes no network requests. There is no account, no server, no sync and no analytics. Your timers, your session history and your settings are files on your phone, and they stay there unless you choose to share them.
What Reti stores, and where
Everything Reti records lives in its own storage area on your phone:
- Your timers — names, work and rest lengths, rounds, and any movements you attach.
- Your session history — when a session ran, how long, which mode, how many rounds.
- Your settings — appearance, cue volume, silent mode, audio output preferences.
- Your Coach plan, if you build one — your answers to its five questions (what you're after, days a week, the equipment you have, anything to work around, and an optional date), the plan built from them, and how you rated each session. Reset plan in Settings deletes all of it and leaves your Log alone.
These are ordinary files inside the app. They are included in your device backup if you back your device up, because that is how iOS treats app storage. Deleting Reti deletes them.
What Reti sends
Nothing. There is no sign-in, no account, no cloud sync, no advertising identifier, no attribution or tracking SDK and no third-party analytics. Reti does not ask for permission to track you, because there is nothing to track with. The one exception is buying or restoring Reti Pro, which is a conversation between your phone and Apple — see Purchases.
This is checkable rather than asserted. Reti's privacy manifest declares no
collected data types and no tracking domains, and Reti's own code makes no network
request — no URLSession call, no URLRequest, no network
connection of any kind. A build that added one would fail our own release check
before it could ship. (A shared Norvela library the app links carries a network
helper that nothing in Reti calls; the release check covers that too.)
When data leaves your phone, it is because you sent it
Four things in Reti hand a file to iOS's share sheet. In every case you choose the destination, and Reti has no involvement after that:
- Sharing a timer — so someone else can load the same intervals.
- Sharing a finished session — a summary of what you just did.
- Export your data (Settings) — a JSON or CSV copy of your timers, settings and sessions, for your own records.
- Send crash reports (Settings, shown only when there is something to send) — a short technical summary of any crash, hang or slow launch iOS reported to the app: the kind of fault, how many, which build, and the system's reason. It contains no workout data and nothing you have typed.
If you are running a test build from TestFlight, you can also shake the phone to file a problem report. That opens the same share sheet. Nothing is sent automatically.
Crash reports, in more detail
Reti uses MetricKit, a framework built into iOS. Apple gives the app a periodic report about its own stability and performance. Reti reduces each report to a summary, keeps a small capped number of them on the device, and shows the Send crash reports row only if any exist.
Nothing is uploaded automatically. If you never tap Share, the summaries stay on your phone and are eventually rotated out.
Separately, if you install Reti through TestFlight, Apple reports your install and may send crash reports to us according to your TestFlight sharing setting. That is Apple's own collection, governed by Apple's privacy policy, and you control it in iOS Settings. It happens whatever the app does.
Microphone
Reti does not use the microphone and does not ask for access to it. The app contains no microphone or speech-recognition code, and no matching permission in its Info.plist.
Voice control is in development and is not in the app you can install today. When it ships it will ask permission first, recognition will run on your device, audio will not be written to disk, and no audio will be transmitted. This section will be updated in the same release that adds the feature — not before it, and not after.
Health and fitness data
Reti does not read from or write to Apple Health, and does not request access to it. Coach asks what to work around (a shoulder, a knee), never what is wrong, and uses the answer only to leave movements out of your plan. It stays on your phone with everything else. Coach's two optional reminders are notifications your phone schedules for itself; nothing is sent anywhere to deliver them.
Children
Reti is a general-audience interval timer. It is not directed at children, collects nothing from anyone, children included, and contains no advertising and no user-to-user communication.
Reti does contain a small number of links that leave the app: this policy, Apple's standard license agreement on the upgrade screen, and the iOS Shortcuts gallery entry in Settings. They go to Apple or to us and nowhere else.
Purchases
Reti Pro is a yearly subscription handled entirely by Apple's App Store, using Apple's StoreKit framework. When you open the upgrade screen, StoreKit asks Apple for the current price; when you buy or restore, Apple completes the purchase and tells the app only whether it exists. Norvela never sees your payment details, your Apple ID or your receipt, and runs no server of its own.
The result — "Pro is on" — is kept in the phone's keychain so the app can check it without asking Apple every time. It is the only thing the purchase leaves behind, and it holds only whether Pro is active and when that was last checked — no payment detail, nothing that identifies you. Delete everything leaves it alone, so a wipe does not cost you your purchase; iOS keeps keychain entries even after an app is removed. Restore purchases, in Settings, asks Apple again.
Deleting everything
Settings has Delete everything, which removes every timer, setting and session from the phone. It asks twice, and offers an export first, because it cannot be undone. Deleting the app from your phone has the same effect.
Your rights
Because Reti holds no data about you on any server, there is nothing for us to look up, hand over or erase on request — your copy is the only copy, and you can export or delete it yourself at any time. If you would like that in writing for a specific regulation, ask and we will confirm it.
Changes to this policy
If Reti ever starts doing something this page does not describe, this page changes in the same release — not afterwards. The date at the top is the date of the current version.
