Privacy Policy

Screen Time Receipt · Steady Apps · Effective October 15, 2026

The short version

Screen Time Receipt reads how you use your phone so it can print you a receipt. That information is processed and stored on your phone only. Steady Apps has no servers for this app, you don't need an account, and nothing about your usage is sent to us or to anyone else.

What the app reads, and why

With your permission (Android's Usage access setting), the app reads the usage statistics Android keeps on your device:

• which apps were open on screen, when, and for how long;
• when the screen was turned on or off and when the phone was unlocked;
• the names of the apps you have installed, so the receipt can show them.

This is used only to build your daily and monthly receipts, the home-screen widget and your daily budget. You can withdraw the permission at any time in Android Settings → Apps → Special app access → Usage access.

What is stored

Your receipts (app names, times, number of opens and unlocks) and your settings, such as your daily budget, the apps you chose to leave off the receipt and the date you first opened the app (used for the 3-day free trial), are saved in the app's private storage on your phone so you can look back at earlier days. They are deleted when you clear the app's data or uninstall it.

If you have Android's own backup turned on, your phone may include this app's data in the encrypted backup it keeps in your Google account, as it does for other apps. That backup is controlled by your device settings and is not accessible to Steady Apps.

What is not collected

• No account, no sign-in, no email address.
• No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs that send data anywhere.
• No location, contacts, photos, messages or content from other apps. The app sees how long an app was open, never what you did inside it.

Sharing a receipt

When you tap Share receipt, the app creates an image of that receipt and hands it to the app you choose (for example a messenger or social network). Nothing is shared unless you do this, and what happens next is governed by the app you shared to.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, the app shows one notification in the evening with that day's total. It is created on your phone from your own receipt; no push service or server is involved. You can turn it off in the app or in Android Settings.

Purchases

The optional one-time unlock is sold through Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Google; Steady Apps does not receive your card or payment details. The app only asks Google Play whether the unlock has been purchased on your account. Google's Privacy Policy applies to the purchase.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly process data from them.

Your choices

• Turn off Usage access to stop the app from reading new data.
• Clear the app's storage or uninstall it to delete all saved receipts.
• Write to us with any question about your data.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new effective date.
