Privacy

Last updated November 2, 2026

Short version: Noodle doesn’t collect your Screen Time or app activity, and it has no analytics and no advertising or tracking code. An account is optional: if you create one, we store only your email address, and you can delete it in the app.

What stays on your iPhone

Your modes, schedules, break history, focus sessions, Noodle’s daily score and the estimated time on your block lists are saved only on your device, in storage shared between the Noodle app and its widget and Screen Time extensions. Deleting Noodle deletes all of it.

Screen Time

Noodle uses Apple’s Screen Time frameworks (Family Controls, Managed Settings and Device Activity) with your permission. Apple gives Noodle opaque tokens for the apps, categories and websites you pick instead of their names, and Noodle can’t read your browsing or app activity. Usage is only ever estimated in 15-minute steps, on the device, and is never sent anywhere.

Optional account

You can create an account with an email address and password. We store your email address and a password hash with our database provider, Supabase, so you can sign in on a new phone. Your Screen Time and app activity are never sent to it. Delete the account in Settings › Account and everything stored for it is removed.

Notifications

Noodle sends notifications from your own iPhone, for example “Tap to choose a break”. There’s no push server.

Purchases

Noodle Plus is sold through Apple’s App Store. Apple handles payment; Noodle only learns whether Plus is active on this Apple Account.

Children

Noodle is for people managing their own phone. It doesn’t knowingly collect anything from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date. Noodle is in beta. Testers can send feedback straight from TestFlight (take a screenshot, then tap Share Beta Feedback). A support email arrives with the public launch.
