Us By Day keeps your memories on your iPhone. It has no Us By Day account, partner account, public feed, advertising, analytics or developer-operated server. It does not use AI to read or personalize your memories. Cloud sync is not included.

Your journal writing, moods, selected photos and descriptions, Little Things notes, private activities, saved ideas, optional preferences, local feedback, quote favorites and monthly choices are stored locally. Local feedback is not sent to the publisher automatically. Public activity suggestions are selected from bundled content using your explicit preferences; the app does not inspect your private writing to choose them.

You choose whether to select a photo with Apple's picker or take a photo after granting camera permission. The app does not request access to your entire photo library. Imports and captures are resized and re-encoded to remove source metadata. Optional descriptions remain with the memory. Choosing to save a shared public image to Photos may require Apple's add-only Photos permission; there is no automatic album write.

Optional reminders use generic private copy. Widgets use public dates, artwork and public suggestions; journal text, personal photos, moods, nickname, private activities, saved-day activities and quote favorites are not put in widget or reminder payloads. Widget refresh timing is controlled by iOS.

If you enable app locking, Apple checks Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. The app does not receive biometric templates or your passcode. The app shields private screens when inactive and requires authentication again according to its lock setting. Native authentication is a device protection feature, not a way for the publisher to recover your memories or passcode.

Apple handles in-app payment and Apple Account information under Apple's policies. The app verifies StoreKit transactions on device to determine access. The publisher does not receive your payment-card details through this app. Subscriptions and lifetime purchases can be restored using the purchasing Apple Account. Cancelling a subscription is managed through Apple.

You may explicitly export selected records or create a reviewed keepsake share. Before preparing a readable data export, the app shows the categories and counts included. Photos/descriptions, private notes, private alternatives, local feedback, quote favorites, monthly choices and personal preferences require their displayed optional selections. Public saved ideas have a labelled selection. A monthly PDF starts with artwork and dates; private excerpts or photos require explicit selection, and every page must be reviewed before sharing. A Year image contains dates and public keepsakes, not journal text or personal photos.

Readable ZIP/JSON/Markdown exports and PDF keepsakes are not password encrypted. The destinations and recipients you choose may retain copies. Protect those copies and consider where you share them. Temporary app copies are cleaned up after cancellation/sharing. Readable export is not an import, restore or automatic backup service.

Deleting local app data removes the app's active memories, photos, notes, saved/private ideas, feedback, favorites, monthly choices, preferences, reminders and public widget snapshot, with retry if deletion is interrupted. It does not remove originals from Photos, external exports or device backups; erase Apple purchase history; or cancel a subscription. Uninstalling the app or losing the phone can lose local memories. Your device or computer backup settings may include app data; the publisher does not operate those backups.

If you choose to contact support, send only the information needed to describe the problem. Do not send journals, private photos, passcodes, credentials or payment details for routine support. Your email provider and the publisher's chosen support provider process that correspondence under their own policies. The support address is [email protected], hosted by Gmail. Resolved support correspondence is deleted after 90 days unless retention is legally required.

Questions or requests about support correspondence: [email protected]. The publisher cannot read or delete local memories remotely, recover a device passcode or recover an unbacked-up local store.
