Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 16, 2026
This privacy policy governs your use of the Morning Pages application for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, developed by Dahl & Sjöö.
Your Journal Data
Your journal entries are stored as plain text files in your personal iCloud container. We do not have access to your iCloud data. Your writing stays on your devices and in your iCloud account.
If you enable the Vanishing Pages feature, your entry text is automatically deleted after the period you choose (1, 7, or 30 days). Statistics and calendar history are preserved, but the text itself is permanently removed.
On-Device AI
Morning Pages uses Apple Intelligence (Foundation Models) to generate topic tags and other writing insights directly on your device when available. This processing happens on-device and your journal content is not sent to our servers for these on-device features.
Cloud AI (Premium, Opt-In)
Morning Pages Premium subscribers can optionally enable Cloud AI to use AI features on devices without Apple Intelligence. When Cloud AI is enabled, relevant journal text is sent to our server for features like tags, reflections, artist dates, and weekly walks. This data is:
- Used solely to generate requested AI outputs inside Morning Pages
- Processed by our AI service provider (OpenAI) via API
- Not used to train OpenAI models through our API usage
- Not retained longer than needed to return the response, except for temporary operational logs
Cloud AI requests are authenticated using signed App Store transaction data to verify premium access. You can enable or disable Cloud AI at any time in Settings. Notifications and nudges are generated on-device or from local templates.
Subscriptions and In-App Purchases
Morning Pages offers premium access through Apple In-App Purchases. Billing and payment data are handled by Apple, not by us. We receive limited purchase status information (for example, product and transaction identifiers) to verify entitlement and unlock premium features.
Handwriting Recognition (Premium)
The handwriting recognition feature uses Apple's Vision framework to process images entirely on your device. No images or recognized text are sent to any external server.
Analytics and Error Tracking
Morning Pages uses Firebase Analytics and Sentry for anonymous usage analytics and crash reporting. These services collect pseudonymous technical and usage data to help improve reliability and product quality. No journal entry text is included in analytics events.
Device Permissions
Morning Pages may request access to your photo library or camera (for handwriting import) and notifications (for writing reminders). These permissions are used only for the features you choose to use.
Third-Party Links
Morning Pages may include links to external websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
