Your habit tracking data is intensely personal: when you sleep, what supplements you take, how often you exercise, and when you struggle with focus reveal your innermost routines. Many commercial productivity apps harvest this data to build behavioral advertising profiles.

HabitArcFlow 1.1.0 enforces an uncompromising zero-telemetry architecture. Combined with an optional Bring-Your-Own-AI (BYO-AI) module, you gain cutting-edge cognitive coaching without surrendering your privacy.

1. Zero Cloud Telemetry by Design

In HabitArcFlow:

• No Third-Party SDKs: We include zero marketing trackers, crash report telemetry beacons, or advertising frameworks.
• Native SwiftData Storage: All habit definitions, frequency rules, notes, and streak tallies remain in an encrypted SQLite database on your physical iPhone.
• Apple Private CloudKit: If you toggle iCloud Sync, data transfers exclusively through your personal Apple iCloud container—our development team has zero access to it.

2. Bring-Your-Own-AI (BYO-AI) Habit Engine
