Simple Hourglass for iPhone and iPad

Last updated: November 13, 2026

THE SHORT VERSION

Simple Hourglass does not collect, store, or share any personal information. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking, and the app never connects to the internet.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

None. The app does not collect or transmit any data about you or how you use it, and it does not use any third-party services or SDKs.

MOTION SENSOR

The app reads your device's motion sensor only while it is open, so it can tell when you turn your phone or iPad over to flip the hourglass. This happens entirely on your device in real time. Motion readings are never saved or sent anywhere.

DATA STORED ON YOUR DEVICE

If a timer is running, the app saves its start time and length on your device so it can pick up where it left off if the app is closed. This stays on your device, is never shared, and is deleted when the timer finishes or you set a new one. Deleting the app removes it completely.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children.

CHANGES

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
