Wake Back to Red collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no server. We can’t see anything you do in the app.
What stays on your iPhone
Your sleep times, checks, night plans, dream recordings, the text made from them and your night log are kept inside the app on your iPhone. Like other app data, they are part of your own iPhone backups.
What the app asks for
- MicrophoneTo record your dream in the morning. The recording stays on your iPhone.
- Speech recognitionTo turn that recording into text. This runs on your iPhone, and the app won’t send your voice anywhere to do it.
- NotificationsFor a backup wake and a few nudges during the day.
- AlarmsSo the red wake rings even when the app is closed.
You can change any of them at any time in Settings.
Sharing
Nothing leaves the app unless you send it yourself, for example your night log through the share sheet.
Links
The app links to a video on YouTube and a study on PubMed Central. They open in your browser, under those sites’ own privacy policies.
Deleting
Delete the app to delete everything it stored on your iPhone.
