Welcome to Momentum, developed by Orion Development, LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our iOS and watchOS application (“the App”).

By using Momentum, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2.1 What Data is Created

When you use Momentum, you create:

• Habits: Your custom habit titles, schedules, colors, and descriptions.

• Routines: Your routine steps, schedules, and completion records.

• Goals: Your goal titles, progress data, and milestones.

• Events: Your scheduled events, categories, and reminders.

• Daily Briefs: Your daily notes and reflections.

• Completion Records: Timestamps of when you complete habits and routines.

• App Preferences: Theme settings, notification preferences, and app configuration.

2.1.1 Sign in with Apple

Momentum offers optional Sign in with Apple for account authentication. When you sign in, Apple may provide us with:

• Name: Your first and last name (only provided on first sign-in; you may choose to hide it).

• Email: Your email address or an Apple-generated private relay address.

• User Identifier: A unique, anonymous identifier tied to your Apple Account.

This information is stored locally on your device and synced via iCloud (see section 2.2). We do not store this information on any servers we operate.

2.2 Where Your Data is Stored

Your data is stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework and automatically synced across your devices via Apple’s iCloud (CloudKit).

• ✅ Your data is stored on your device and in your private iCloud account.

• ✅ iCloud data is stored in your private CloudKit database – only accessible by devices signed into your Apple Account.

• ✅ We do not operate servers or databases – syncing is handled entirely by Apple.

• ✅ We cannot access your synced data.

• ✅ Your data is protected by Apple’s iCloud encryption and your device’s security (passcode, Face ID, etc.).

iCloud sync requires an active Apple Account with iCloud enabled. If you disable iCloud for Momentum, your data will remain stored locally on your device only.
