Privacy Policy
Last updated 26 June 2026
Carpe Diem runs on your device. There's no account to create and no sign-in. We don't sell your data, show ads, or run third-party analytics or tracking. What you write is yours — you can export it or delete all of it at any time.
Who this covers
This policy describes how the Carpe Diem app for iPhone (“Seize the Day”) handles your information. Carpe Diem is published by an independent developer under the Carpe Vitam Tuam brand. There is no company server behind the app and no third party that receives your data.
The short version
Carpe Diem is built to work without knowing who you are. It runs on-device, asks for no account, and keeps what you author privately. The sections below spell out exactly what is stored, where it lives, and the controls you have over it.
Your data is private to you
What you author is stored privately on your device — there's no account to create and no Carpe Diem server. A future update will let it sync across your own devices through your private iCloud database, where only you can read it. Today, your authored data is device-local: it stays on the iPhone where you entered it and is not synced anywhere. Either way, this covers:
- Protocols you've adopted
- Habits and their day-by-day history
- Metrics you log by hand
- Quotes, goals, and your bucket list
When iCloud sync is enabled in a future update, your data would move through your own private iCloud account, governed by Apple's privacy policy. It would still never pass through a Carpe Diem server, because there isn't one.
Apple Health and HomeKit stay on this device
Anything read from Apple Health or HomeKit is kept as a local, device-only cache to power the loop. It's never written to iCloud or any server, and isn't shared between your devices — each device reads its own Apple Health and Home.
- Apple Health metrics (steps, heart rate, sleep, and so on)
- HomeKit readings (temperature, humidity, air quality, light level)
Your source health and home data lives in Apple Health and Home; Carpe Diem only keeps a recomputable copy on the device, and you choose what it may read through the standard iOS permission prompts. You can revoke that access at any time in the iOS Settings app.
Reminders and diagnostics
Your daily reminder time and the app's on-device diagnostics are stored only on this device and are never synced or sent anywhere. Notifications are scheduled locally by iOS; Carpe Diem does not operate a push server. Diagnostics exist purely to help the app run well on your device — they are not transmitted to anyone.
Data collected about you
This is why Carpe Diem's App Store privacy label is marked Data Not Collected. The app ships with no tracking SDKs and makes no network calls to share your information.
Your data, your controls
- Export: from the Data tab, save everything you've authored as a JSON file. (Apple Health and HomeKit data aren't included — they live in Apple Health and Home.)
- Delete all: from the Data tab, permanently erase everything — your authored data and the local Health/Home cache — from this device (and from your private iCloud once syncing is enabled). This can't be undone.
You're also always in control of what Apple Health and HomeKit data the app may read, through iOS's own permission settings.
Children
Carpe Diem is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children. Because the app collects no data and requires no account, it does not knowingly gather personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If this stance ever changes, the updated policy will appear here — and within the app — before the change takes effect. The “last updated” date above will reflect the latest revision.

Not medical advice
Carpe Diem offers educational protocols and insights drawn from your own data — it is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Talk to a qualified professional before changing diet, training, supplements, sleep, or light exposure.
