Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 October 2026

Wime is a time-tracking app for iPhone and Android that shows you where you spend your time. It was built so that your data stays on your phone. This page explains what that means in practice.

The short version

• Wime has no account and no sign-in.
• Your data never reaches us, and we do not sell or share it. There is no server for it to go to.
• Apart from purchases, which Apple or Google handle, the one thing that leaves your phone is a request for map images when Wime draws a map. It tells the map provider roughly which area is on screen. See Maps.
• Your places, stays, trips and notes are stored only on your device.
• There are no analytics, no advertising and no third-party trackers.

Location

Wime uses your location, including in the background, to notice the places you visit and how long you stay, so it can build your timeline. To do that through the whole day it asks for the “Always” location permission on iPhone, or “Allow all the time” on Android.

Your location is processed on your phone and saved in the app's private database on the device. It is never uploaded to a server, and neither the developer nor anyone else can see it. You can turn location access off at any time in your phone's Settings app.

Motion

Wime reads your phone's motion activity (Motion & Fitness on iPhone, Physical activity on Android) to tell how you travelled between places: walking, running, cycling or driving. Like location, this is processed and stored on the device and is never sent anywhere.

Camera and photos

When you make a share card, you can put your own photo behind it. Wime uses the camera only when you choose to take that photo, and picks from your library only through your phone's photo picker. Wime saves a card to your photo library only if you choose to save it. Photos stay on your phone unless you share them yourself.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, Wime can show you a note you wrote when you come back to that place, and now and then point out a habit, like the same Saturday spot a few weeks in a row. It can also nudge you once a day, at a time you choose, to look at your day, and tell you when it can't record, for example because location is set to While Using the App. Wime works these out on your phone from your own history and settings, and the phone delivers them itself. Nothing goes through a server, and nobody else sees them. You can turn off each kind in Wime's Settings, or turn notifications off completely in your phone's settings.

On Android, Wime also shows an ongoing notification while it records your timeline, because Android requires one for this kind of location tracking. It carries no data of yours.

Maps

Wime shows maps in two places: the map screen, and the small map of a stay that appears when you open it to name the place or write a note. To draw them it loads map images (tiles) from a maps provider: Apple Maps on iPhone and OpenStreetMap on Android. The provider receives ordinary requests for the tiles on screen, which show roughly where that area is, along with your device's IP address, as described in Apple's Privacy Policy and the OpenStreetMap Foundation Privacy Policy. Wime itself keeps none of this and sends nothing else.

Because those requests reveal an area, the Data safety section for Wime on Google Play lists approximate and precise location as collected, for app functionality. Your places and stays themselves are still stored only on your device.

If you delete the app

On iPhone, from version 1.7, Wime keeps a copy of your timeline (places, stays, trips and notes) in your iPhone's Keychain, so that deleting the app and installing it again brings your history back. The copy is stored on this device only. It is not synced to iCloud Keychain and it does not move to another phone. Wime also keeps the date your free trial started there, so a reinstall does not start a new trial.

Subscriptions

Wime is free for 7 days. After that, using the app requires an auto-renewing subscription, Wime Pro. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store on iPhone, and by Google through Google Play on Android. Wime does not see or store your payment details. Billing and subscription management are handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy, or by Google under Google's Privacy Policy.

Data you share or export

Wime can export your data as a JSON file, and can turn a stay into a picture you share. In both cases you decide where it goes, for example another app, a file or an AI assistant. Once you share something it has left Wime's private storage, and the terms of wherever you sent it apply.

Deleting your data

Everything is stored on your device, so you are in control of it. To remove all of it, open Wime and go to Settings → Erase all data. On iPhone that also empties the copy kept in the Keychain. Deleting the app on its own removes the app's database but, on iPhone from version 1.7, leaves the Keychain copy for a future reinstall, so use Erase all data first if you want everything gone. There is no copy on any server to ask us to delete, because none is ever made.

Children

Wime is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new “Last updated” date.
