Umbral is a local-first personal journal: your entries are stored on your device. We don't create an account for you, we don't run servers that store your journal, and we never sell or share your information.
Your journal content —text, titles, moods, photos, tags, searches, and attachments— stays on your device (and in your private iCloud if you enable it). It is never sent to us or to third parties.
None of this data is used to track you: no IDFA, no ad networks, no data brokers.
The app requests camera / photo library access only when you choose to add a photo to an entry, Face ID / Touch ID only if you enable the app lock, and notifications only if you enable reminders. You can revoke any of these in iOS Settings.
Umbral is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.
