Privacy at Niyora

Nothing about you leaves your device. We don't run servers. We don't have accounts.

What stays on your device

Everything personal. Session history, technique preferences, reminder schedule, HRV data when paired with your Mac, tier progression. All of it lives in your app container and never leaves your device. There is no cloud to lose it to.

What never crosses the wire

Your stress scores, breath patterns, HRV readings, and PSS-4 check-ins are never sent off your device, ever. No advertising identifiers. No cookies. No fingerprinting. No camera or microphone access for tracking. No accounts to sign in to.

The three outbound requests Niyora does make

Honesty matters here. The app makes outbound network requests in three cases, all to first-party endpoints, all carrying nothing about you beyond what every HTTPS request inherently exposes (your IP address and the version of Niyora asking).

  1. Update checks. A small JSON fetch to downloads.niyora.com/latest.json on launch, every ~24 hours while the app is running, and when you click "Check for updates" in the tray menu. No telemetry is attached.
  2. Update downloads. When a check finds a newer version, the signed binary is fetched from downloads.niyora.com.
  3. Anonymous analytics, only if you opted in. A small set of events (app launches, technique completions, reminder firings) is sent to PostHog EU. Each event carries a random anonymous identifier generated only on opt-in, never tied to anything that identifies you. You can turn it off any time in My Soul.
