Capybarista develops independent apps for iOS and macOS, including Checkpoint, Newen, and DayPeek. The core idea is simple: build useful tools that respect user privacy by default.
General information
Capybarista apps are released on the App Store under the developer’s personal account. When building these apps, I make product and engineering decisions that minimize the information requested, processed, or shared.
No accounts and no custom backend
You do not need to create an account to use our apps. Capybarista does not operate a custom backend to store your data, does not maintain user profiles, and does not access the content you save inside the apps.
Storage and sync
The data you enter in the apps is stored locally on the devices where you use them. When an app offers sync across devices, that sync is handled through iCloud, specifically CloudKit, using the private database associated with your Apple account. Capybarista cannot read or manage that private content.
Personal information
Capybarista does not collect personally identifying information such as your name, email address, phone number, precise location, financial information, or custom user identifiers. We do not sell personal data or share information for advertising.
Analytics, advertising, and tracking
Our current apps do not use advertising networks, tracking tools, or third-party SDKs to analyze your activity. We do not track users across apps or websites.
Apple Health / HealthKit
Some Capybarista apps may offer optional integrations with Apple Health using HealthKit. In this version, Newen can save new mood check-ins as State of Mind entries in Apple Health if you enable Apple Health sync and grant permission. This integration is off by default. Newen does not read Apple Health data in this version, does not upload HealthKit data to Capybarista servers, and does not share HealthKit data with third parties. Notes, tags, contexts, and historical mood entries are not exported to Apple Health. You can disable Apple Health access at any time from Newen settings or from Apple’s Health privacy settings on your device.
Deleting data
Because your data lives on your device and, when applicable, in your iCloud account, you can delete it from within the app, by deleting the app from your device, or by managing iCloud data from Apple settings. If you disable iCloud for an app, sync across devices may stop working.
Cookies and this website
This website is a static site used to present Capybarista apps and host this privacy policy. It is not designed to create accounts, collect personal information, or store first-party tracking cookies.
Changes and contact
We may update this Privacy Policy if our apps, features, or data practices change. For privacy questions, use the support channel listed on the App Store page for the relevant app. When Capybarista has a public support email, we will also add it to this page.
