Privacy Policy
Wakelift is made by Cassian Vire, the publishing name of Amangeldy Baiserkeev, an individual developer (“I”, “me”). This policy explains what the app does with your data.

The short version
Wakelift has no accounts, no advertising and no tracking. Your alarms and missions stay on your device, and camera video for rep-counting missions never leaves your phone. Data leaves the device only in these cases: if you turn on the AI photo check or the AI coach (each asks for your permission first), the photo or a summary of your week is sent to my server and to Anthropic’s Claude; if you turn on weather, Apple receives your approximate location; anonymous usage events go to TelemetryDeck; and Apple and Adapty handle Wakelift Pro purchases. The app uses one random app ID for purchases and AI requests; it is not linked to your name or email.
What is stored on your device
- your alarms, sounds (including sounds you import from Files) and mission settings, including the barcode you set up for a scan mission;
- your wake-up history, streaks and how many reps or steps you did;
- your settings, your AI choices and whether Wakelift Pro is active.
This data is shared between the app and its widget on the same device. It leaves the device only as described below (the AI coach and usage statistics). Deleting the app removes it.
The random app ID
On first use the app creates a random identifier and keeps it in the iPhone Keychain, so it stays the same if you delete and reinstall the app on the same device. It is not linked to your name, email or Apple Account. It is sent to Adapty to keep track of your Wakelift Pro purchase, and with each AI request so my server can check Pro and count requests per day. The app does not show this ID in Settings.
Camera and motion
For push-up, squat and similar missions, the app uses the camera to count repetitions with Apple’s on-device Vision framework. Video is processed in real time on your iPhone, is not recorded or stored, and is never sent anywhere. The camera is also used for the light mission (only the brightness of the image is measured) and to read a barcode or QR code you chose; these images are processed on your device and not stored. Step and turn-over missions use the iPhone’s motion data (Motion & Fitness permission for steps) on your device; the app does not use Apple Health. Photos for the AI photo check are the one exception, described below.
Weather and calendar
If you turn on the morning summary, the app shows today’s weather and up to three of today’s calendar events after your alarm. For weather it uses your approximate location while the app is in use, and Apple’s WeatherKit receives this approximate location to return the forecast (see Apple’s privacy policy). I do not receive your location. Calendar access is used only to read today’s events on your device; events are never sent to me or anyone else. Both are off by default and can be turned off in Settings.
On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the short greeting after your alarm is written on the device by Apple’s built-in model, using your mission result, the weather and your first event. Nothing is sent to a server for it.
AI photo check and AI coach
These two Wakelift Pro features use Anthropic’s Claude through my server. Each one asks for your permission before its first use, and nothing is sent without it.
- AI photo check. Some missions ask you to take a photo (a made bed, a mug, the sky or a bathroom sink). Each photo you take, including retakes after a photo is rejected, is sent with the name of the task to check whether it is done. The check always runs on my server and Anthropic, not on the device. The app does not keep the photo after the check.
- AI coach. To pick out patterns in your week, the app sends your last seven mornings (date, whether you finished the task or used the emergency exit, the time you got up, the task, how many and how long it took) and your current streak.
Each request also carries the random app ID and your device language and region, so the answer comes in your language. Requests travel over an encrypted connection to my server at cassianvire.com (hosted on Cloudflare), which forwards the content to Anthropic’s Claude API and returns the answer.
What is kept. My server does not store photos, summaries or answers. It keeps only daily request counters keyed by the app ID, which expire within two days. Anthropic processes the data under its commercial terms: it does not use API data to train its models and keeps it only for a limited time under its API data retention policy (see privacy.anthropic.com).
Turning it off. Each feature has its own switch in Settings. Turn it off at any time and nothing more is sent; the alarm and the other missions work as before.
Alarms and notifications
Alarms, the wake-up check, bedtime and “no alarm for tomorrow” reminders use Apple’s AlarmKit and local notifications on your device. They are not sent through any server.
Purchases and subscriptions
Wakelift Pro is sold through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes the payment; I never see your name, payment details or Apple Account. The app uses Adapty (adapty.io) to show the Pro offer and check whether your purchase is active, and my server asks Adapty whether the app ID has Pro before an AI request. Adapty receives the random app ID, your purchase history for Wakelift, basic device and app information (device model, system version, app version, language, region) and your IP address. The app does not give Adapty the advertising identifier. This is used only to provide and restore purchases and to understand which offers work, not for advertising. See Adapty’s privacy policy.
Anonymous usage statistics
To learn which features are used, Wakelift sends usage events to TelemetryDeck (telemetrydeck.com), a privacy-focused analytics service based in the EU. Events are sent from the first launch. They are: onboarding steps and completion; the Pro offer shown or closed and where; a completed purchase and which plan; an alarm created and its mission type; a mission completed (type and how many seconds it took) or given up; an AI feature used; Settings opened; share and review taps. Each event also carries TelemetryDeck’s own anonymized identifier (not the app ID above), the app version, system version, device model and language. Events never contain your name, email, photos, alarm names, calendar events or location, and are not used for advertising or tracking across apps. See TelemetryDeck’s privacy policy.
What is not collected
Wakelift does not collect your name, email or contacts, and I do not receive your location. It has no advertising tools and does not ask to track you.
Your choices and deleting data
- Turn off the AI photo check, the AI coach, weather or calendar in the app’s Settings at any time. Turn off camera, location or calendar access in iPhone Settings.
- Delete the app to remove its data from your device. The random app ID stays in the Keychain on that device until you erase the device.
- My server keeps no AI content, so there is nothing to delete there beyond counters that expire on their own. For purchase data held by Adapty, write to support@cassianvire.com from the device that made the purchase and include the purchase date. Since the app has no accounts and does not show its ID, I may not be able to find your data otherwise; I will tell you honestly if I can’t.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date.
