This policy covers the Momentez app for Android and iOS. Effective 16 October 2026.
In short
Momentez does not collect, keep or share any data about you. Everything you write stays on your phone.
What data the app holds
Your answers to the questions: when you answered, the text if there is one, and a photo if you added one. And your settings: the hours when questions may come, how many a day, the pause.
All of it is stored only on the phone: notes in an SQLite database inside the app, photos as files in the app’s private folder. Other apps cannot read them. A picture taken with the camera in the app also goes into the phone’s gallery by default (a Momentez folder on Android); this is turned off in Menu → “Save shots to the gallery”. From then on that picture is part of the gallery and follows its settings: if the phone uploads the gallery to iCloud Photos or Google Photos, it goes too. A photo picked from the gallery is not added again. The app keeps its own copy of the picture, scaled down and without metadata: where it was taken is not written into it. On iPhone the database and the photos sit in the app’s private folder and are left out of iCloud and computer backups.
What leaves the phone
Nothing. The app contains no ads, analytics, crash reporting or accounts.
On Android the app has no permission to access the internet (INTERNET), so it has no way to send anything. Cloud backup of the app’s data is turned off.
On iPhone there is no such permission, so the protection is different: the app’s code contains no network calls, and this is checked on every build. The App Store data description reads “data not collected”.
Notes in a file
To move your notes to another phone, save them as an archive file and load it back (Menu → “Move to another phone”). A file is created only when you tap the button: the phone opens its save dialog and you choose where the file goes. From then on the file is yours, handled by whichever app or service you saved it to. The app sends it nowhere. Photos are not part of the archive.
“Share the app” and “Share” on a note open the system’s share sheet. Only what you pick there leaves: the words and the photo of the note with a Momentez signature, or a short text about the app with the website address. The app cannot see where you send the text.
“Write to the developer” opens your mail app with an empty message. The app version and the system version are filled in beforehand; whether to send it is up to you.
Permissions
- Android:
POST_NOTIFICATIONS— to send the question as a notification. - Android:
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED— so questions keep coming after the phone restarts. - Android:
VIBRATE— a soft vibration while a noted find glows. It can be turned off in Settings. - Android: no permission for the camera or for photos. “Take a photo” opens the system camera, “From the gallery” the system photo picker, and the app receives only the picture you chose. A camera shot goes into the gallery without a permission (Android 10 and later); on Android 8–9 it does not.
- iOS: notifications — to send the question. The camera, when you open “Add a photo”: above the recent photos you see what it sees, and a picture is taken only when you tap; the live view is not saved or sent anywhere. The iPhone asks once. “From the photo library” needs no permission: the app receives only the picture you chose. To put a camera shot into the library, the iPhone asks once for “add only” access: the app does not see your other photos.
Keeping and deleting
Notes are kept until you delete them. A deleted note is erased from the database, and its photo file the next time the app starts (until then “Undo” works). If you uninstall the app, the phone erases all its data: notes and settings.
Children
The app collects no data about anyone, children included.
Google Play and the App Store
When you install the app, the store processes installation data under its own rules: Google Privacy Policy, Apple Privacy Policy. The stores show the developer only aggregate statistics, such as the number of installs.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date.
