FulwaveTimer — Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 27, 2026
FulwaveTimer is designed to keep your data on your own devices. We do not run servers, we do not collect analytics, and we do not have any way to see your information.
What the app stores, and where
Your music and audio files
FulwaveTimer can add audio to a timer stage in two ways, both of which you start:
Session files (.fws)
FulwaveTimer can export a playlist, together with its audio, as a Fulwave Session (.fws) file, and can import session files you open or receive. These are ordinary files on your device: exporting writes a file that you then choose what to do with, and importing reads a file you opened. Nothing is sent to us, and there is no online session store or account.
Audio taken from your Apple Music library is never included in an exported session file.
Apple Health (Apple Watch)
If you enable workout recording on the Apple Watch, FulwaveTimer uses Apple's HealthKit to:
Notifications
FulwaveTimer schedules local notifications on your device for stage changes and when a session ends. These are generated and delivered entirely on-device.
Diagnostics log
The app keeps a small diagnostics log on your device to help troubleshoot playback and lock-screen behavior. It records app events (such as when a session starts, changes stage, or ends), the app version and build, whether Fulwave Pro is active, your iOS version, and whether Low Power Mode is on. It does not contain personal information, and it does not contain the contents of your playlists or audio.
This log stays on your device. It is shared only if you choose to share it — for example, by tapping Share in Settings → Diagnostics to send it when reporting a problem. You can clear it at any time from that same screen.
Purchases (Fulwave Pro)
Fulwave Pro is sold as an in-app purchase through the App Store. Apple processes the transaction and manages the subscription. FulwaveTimer only learns whether your purchase is active; the developer never receives your payment details, card information, or Apple Account credentials. You can manage or cancel a subscription in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
Data we collect
None. FulwaveTimer does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. There are no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs in the app.
Children's privacy
FulwaveTimer does not collect data from anyone, including children.
Fulwave Designer (macOS)
Fulwave Designer collects no personal data of any kind. It has no network access, no analytics, no account or sign-in, and no tracking. Everything you create stays on your Mac in files you choose — your saved projects (.fwd) and any sessions you export (.fws). The app's own published Privacy Manifest confirms this: no data collected, no tracking, and the only reason it touches system frameworks at all is to remember your Light/Dark appearance choice locally on your Mac.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.

FulwaveTimer is designed to keep your data on your own devices. We do not run servers, we do not collect analytics, and we do not have any way to see your information.
What the app stores, and where
- Playlists and timer settings are stored on your device and, if you are signed in to iCloud, synced through your own private iCloud account so they appear on your other devices. This data is stored in your iCloud container, which the developer cannot access.
- Imported audio files and spoken-text phrases are stored locally on each device and are not uploaded anywhere.
- Local backups of your playlist library are kept on your device only.
Your music and audio files
FulwaveTimer can add audio to a timer stage in two ways, both of which you start:
- Files you choose (from the Files app, iCloud Drive, or another app). A copy is saved inside FulwaveTimer on your device.
- Your Apple Music library. If you grant permission, the app can read tracks from the music library on your device so you can use them in a playlist. It only reads what you select, the audio stays on your device, and it is never uploaded. You can revoke this permission at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Media & Apple Music.
Session files (.fws)
FulwaveTimer can export a playlist, together with its audio, as a Fulwave Session (.fws) file, and can import session files you open or receive. These are ordinary files on your device: exporting writes a file that you then choose what to do with, and importing reads a file you opened. Nothing is sent to us, and there is no online session store or account.
Audio taken from your Apple Music library is never included in an exported session file.
Apple Health (Apple Watch)
If you enable workout recording on the Apple Watch, FulwaveTimer uses Apple's HealthKit to:
- save your timer sessions to the Health app as workouts (duration, workout type, active energy), and
- read heart rate and active energy during a session to display and record them.
Notifications
FulwaveTimer schedules local notifications on your device for stage changes and when a session ends. These are generated and delivered entirely on-device.
