Scope
This policy covers the Gestalt iOS app (formerly Guppy) and this legal-information website. Gestalt is a digital wellbeing app for Screen Time trends, Focus history, routines, and app-pause choices.
Gestalt has no shipping account system, behavioral analytics service, advertising SDK, or automatic crash-report upload.
Screen Time
Standard report-only access
Standard Screen Time results are processed and displayed inside Apple’s visible Device Activity report extension. Gestalt does not export those report values, app identities, rankings, or returned coverage into the host app, logs, widgets, or a network service.
Enhanced access, when Apple makes it available
On eligible devices and only after explicit authorization, Apple may allow Gestalt to receive enhanced Screen Time data directly. Successful readings received through that capability are stored locally on the device. Coverage depends on the device, operating system, authorization state, and the intervals Apple returns. Gestalt does not promise a complete lifetime history.
App-pause selections
Apple provides opaque application, category, and web-domain tokens for the choices you make in Family Controls. Gestalt uses those tokens locally to apply the app-pause behavior you requested. It does not receive ordinary bundle identifiers from those opaque tokens.
Local app data
Gestalt stores app-owned records needed to provide the product, including settings, onboarding progress, Focus sessions and schedules, reminder preferences, app-pause selections, subscription state, and display preferences. Core operation is offline-first and does not require a Gestalt account or server.
Focus history and Screen Time authority remain separate. Buying a subscription does not grant Screen Time permission, change measured coverage, or bypass Apple’s authorization controls.
Diagnostics
Gestalt uses Apple OSLog and MetricKit plus protected on-device storage for reliability diagnostics. There is no configured Sentry, Crashlytics, or other automatic crash uploader. Crash artifacts remain local until verified local-data deletion removes them.
If you deliberately export ordinary diagnostic logs or contact Support, information leaves the app only through that action and the destination you choose. Review the disclosure shown before sharing and avoid including sensitive information unless it is necessary.
Purchases
Apple handles App Store purchases, renewals, billing, cancellation, refunds, restoration, and Ask to Buy approval. Gestalt receives the product and entitlement status needed to show your access. Gestalt does not receive or store your payment-card details.
This website
This legal website has no account, payment form, advertising, behavioral analytics, contact form, or optional cookies. Hosting infrastructure may process technical request information such as an IP address, user agent, timestamp, and requested path as needed to deliver and secure the site.
Do not send personal or Screen Time information to this website; it has no intake surface.
Your controls
- Review or revoke Screen Time and notification permissions in iOS Settings.
- Use Gestalt Settings to inspect current authorization and local-data boundaries.
- Create a protected export of the app-owned data listed in the export disclosure. Standard Screen Time report results and crash artifacts are excluded.
- Use Delete All Gestalt Data to run the verified local erasure transaction.
- Manage subscriptions, cancellation, and refunds through Apple.
Changes and questions
Material changes will be published here with a new effective date and policy version. The app may also present a notice when a change materially affects its data handling.
For privacy questions or requests, use Support inside the Gestalt app. Include the app and iOS versions when helpful, and do not include sensitive information unless it is necessary for the request.
