Aether Privacy Policy

Effective November 2026

Aether is an alarm clock for iPhone, iPad and Mac, made by ThoughtFold Studio. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it. The short version: we don't collect any of it.

What we collect

Nothing. Aether has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and it doesn't send your information to us or to anyone else. We have no servers that receive data from the app.

What stays on your devices

Your alarms, their settings, your bedside clock preferences and any sounds you add are stored on your device.

iCloud

If you use Aether on more than one device, it keeps them in step through your own iCloud account, in a private space that only you can read. Apple runs iCloud; we can't see what's stored there. Apple's privacy policy covers it: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

Your own sounds

When you add a sound from Files, Aether keeps a copy for your alarms. It stays on your device and in your private iCloud space, and you can remove it at any time from the sound list.

Permissions Aether asks for

• Alarms: so your alarms ring when Aether isn't open.
• Camera: only if you use QR Code Dismiss, to scan the code that stops the alarm. Images are read on the device and aren't saved or sent anywhere.
• Notifications: to tell you if an alarm may not have rung.

You can change any of these at any time in Settings.

Purchases

Aether Pro is bought through the App Store. Apple handles payment; we never see your payment details. Apple tells the app only whether Pro is unlocked.

Children

Aether is suitable for all ages and collects no information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its date.
