The short version. Bare Fast has no account and no sign-in. Your fasts, notes and settings stay on your iPhone. There are no ads, no tracking across apps, and we don't sell data. We receive purchase status, crash reports and anonymous app events with technical details about your device, and your email if you write to us. None of it includes your fasts, moods or notes.
Who we are
Bare Fast is made by Individual Entrepreneur Petr Gorkovenko (identification number 347004298), 10th Street, No. 2, Village Tsikhisdziri, Kobuleti Municipality, Georgia (“we”, “us”). We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy.
Contact for anything about privacy: support@barehabits.app.
Data that stays on your iPhone
Bare Fast doesn't ask for your name, email or phone number, and there is no account to create. The following is stored only on your iPhone, inside the app’s storage on the device:
- your fasts and fasting history;
- the mood and notes you add to fasts;
- your settings, such as theme, language and reminders.
We don't have a server for this data, and we can't see it.
- Widget and Live Activity. The Home Screen widget and the timer on the Lock Screen read this data from a shared container on the same iPhone (an App Group).
- Apple Watch. The watch app gets the state of your fast directly from your iPhone (Apple’s WatchConnectivity), not through any server.
- Reminders. Reminders are local notifications. Your iPhone schedules and shows them itself; nothing is sent to us.
Backups
Because the data is part of the app on your iPhone, iOS includes it in your iPhone backup (iCloud Backup or a backup on your computer), following your iPhone’s backup settings. Those backups are handled by Apple or by your computer, not by us.
Export and Import
Export history (a Pro feature) creates a file with your fasts. You choose where to save or share it. Import history reads a file that you choose to open. We don't receive these files.
Deleting your data
Settings → Delete all data removes your fasts, moods, notes and the current fast from this iPhone, and cancels the reminders. It keeps your settings, plan, schedule, your answers from the first screens of the app, and your Pro purchase, so the app keeps working as before. Deleting the app removes all of it. Copies in older iPhone backups or in files you exported stay where you keep them.
Delete all data works only on your iPhone. It doesn't delete data that the services in Data we receive already have. To delete that data, write to us (see Your rights).
Data we receive
Bare Fast sends a small amount of data to the services below. None of it includes your fasts, moods or notes.
Purchases: Apple and RevenueCat
Payments for Bare Fast Pro are handled by Apple through your Apple ID. We don't receive your payment details.
We use RevenueCat to check purchases and the status of your subscription. RevenueCat receives an anonymous RevenueCat user ID and the transaction data from Apple for your purchase.
Crash reports: Sentry
When the app crashes or hits an error, it sends a report to Sentry, hosted in the EU. A report contains:
- the error and where in the code it happened (stack trace);
- the steps in the app just before the error, such as the screens and the app events listed under PostHog below;
- iPhone model, iOS version, language and time zone;
- technical state of the iPhone, such as free memory and storage, battery level and orientation;
- app version and build;
- whether Pro is active;
- an anonymous ID for this installation of the app.
Sentry also receives a short signal when the app starts, to count how many sessions end without a crash. Crash reports don't include your email, your name, your IP address, screenshots, or your fasts, moods and notes.
Product analytics: PostHog
To understand whether the app works as intended, Bare Fast sends a fixed list of events to PostHog EU Cloud. The events describe what you do in the app, for example: a fast started or ended and its length, the plan changed, a reminder was set, the Pro screen was shown, a purchase started and how it ended, history was exported. Each event contains:
- details of that event, such as the plan or the length of the fast;
- app version and build, app language;
- iPhone model, iOS version, region setting, time zone and screen size;
- whether Pro is active;
- your answers from the first screens of the app: your goals (for example, to lose weight or for your health), how much you have fasted before, the app you used before, and where you heard about Bare Fast;
- an anonymous ID for this installation of the app.
Events never include your moods or notes. Your IP address is discarded by our PostHog project settings and isn't stored. We don't create profiles of people, and we don't record your screen, sessions or taps.
There is no switch for this in the app. Events are sent only from release and test versions of the app, such as the App Store and TestFlight versions, not from development builds.
The waitlist on barehabits.app
If you leave your email address on barehabits.app/fast to hear when Bare Fast is out on Android, we store that address, the app and the platform you chose (iPhone or Android) on our server at Cloudflare. We use it to send one email on the day, then delete it. To be removed earlier, write to support@barehabits.app.
Visiting barehabits.app: Cloudflare Web Analytics
To count visits to this website, its pages load the Cloudflare Web Analytics script. It sends the page you opened, the site that linked you here, your browser, operating system and device type, your country, and how fast the page loaded. It sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and doesn't follow you across sites. We see only totals, such as visits per page or per country, never a single visitor. The app itself doesn't use it.
When you write to us
If you write to us, for example with Send feedback in the app, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. Send feedback starts the email with technical details to help us answer: app version, iOS version and iPhone model, language, time zone, and your plan and Pro status. You see them before you send and can remove them. We use your message only to answer you.

Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive a copy of it.
- Data on your iPhone is fully under your control: change it in the app, or remove all of it with Settings → Delete all data.
- To ask us to delete data or to object to crash reports or analytics, write to support@barehabits.app. The IDs above are random and aren't linked to your name or email, so we may need your help to find the records that belong to you. We will tell you what we need.
You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live or work. In Georgia, where we are based, this is the State Audit Office of Georgia, which supervises personal data protection.
