Questions

Whichever ones you pick. Allowance uses Apple's Screen Time framework, so any app on your phone is fair game. They all share the same minute balance.

Pick pushups, squats, or walking during setup. Default: five reps for five minutes (or 500 steps for five minutes). Pro lets you tune the rate.

Yes. Camera-based rep counting runs locally — nothing leaves the device. Walking comes from HealthKit step data.

Live frames are processed on the device by an on-device pose model that emits a single rep count when a complete pushup or squat is detected. No frames are recorded, stored, or transmitted. The camera turns off when you leave the rep-counting screen. You can also enter reps manually if you'd rather not use the camera.

Apple's Family Controls / Screen Time framework is the only system-level way an app can shield other apps. Without it, Allowance can't actually block anything — it can only nag. The framework hands us opaque tokens for the apps you select; we never see app names, icons, or your usage history.

Free is the preset experience. Pro lets you tune it — minute rates, alarms, your daily floor. Subscription terms.

Yes — one tap from Apple's subscription settings (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions). The free trial cancels the same way. Allowance never asks for a credit card directly.

The apps you've chosen shield with a system screen. From there you earn more, take a short override, or come back later.

Your balance and history live on your device. No analytics SDK, no behavioral tracking, no IDFA — we don't even ask for App Tracking Transparency. The only off-device data we hold is your subscription state via RevenueCat. See the privacy policy.

One optional rewarded ad surface — you can choose to watch a short ad in exchange for a small in-app benefit. The ads are served by Google AdMob and are non-personalized: we don't request App Tracking Transparency, your IDFA stays zero, and AdMob doesn't receive any identifier or behavior signal it can use to track you. There are no other ads anywhere in the app. Details in the privacy policy.

iPhone only today. iPad is planned. Android is further out — the shielding behavior depends on a framework Android doesn't have an exact equivalent for.

Delete the app. Because everything lives on your device (and optionally in your private iCloud container), uninstalling Allowance removes it. To also wipe the iCloud copy, sign out of iCloud or remove Allowance under Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Storage.
