Evolve Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 September 2026

Evolve does not collect your data. There is no account, no server, and no analytics. Nothing you do in this app is sent anywhere.

What stays on your phone

Everything. Specifically:

• The apps you choose to block. You pick them in Apple's own picker, and your choice is stored on your device as a sealed token. Evolve cannot read which apps are in it.
• Your sessions. How long you held, how many minutes you unlocked, when a session ends, and how many times you have opened a blocked app today.
• Your settings, such as your age from setup and your daily goal.

This is kept in a private space shared between Evolve and its helper extensions on your device. It is included in your device backup if you have backups turned on, and it is deleted when you delete the app.

Screen Time

Evolve asks for Screen Time access so it can block the apps you choose. It uses this for you and only on your device.

Your usage figures are drawn by an Apple extension that renders them inside the app. Apple designed it so the app itself cannot read the underlying numbers, which means Evolve can show you your screen time without ever having access to it.

Notifications

Evolve asks for notification permission so it can tell you when your earned time is up. Notifications are scheduled on your device.

What we never do

• No data is sent to us or to anyone else
• No advertising, no tracking, no third-party software
• Nothing is sold or shared
• No account, no email, no sign-in

Children

Evolve is a tool for controlling your own phone. It is not a parental control product and it cannot be used to monitor or manage anyone else's device.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it.
