Dwar Privacy Policy
Last updated 20 October 2026
Dwar is an iPhone app that keeps the apps you choose behind Apple Screen Time until a target you set is met — steps, distance, workout or exercise minutes, active calories, stand hours, time in daylight, Activity rings, or a WHOOP recovery, strain, sleep or calories reading — inside hours you choose. This policy says what Dwar reads, where it goes, and how to delete it.
The short version
- Dwar has no account and no server. Nothing you do in Dwar is sent to its developer.
- Your gates, the apps you chose and your readings stay on your iPhone, and go wherever your iPhone backups go.
- Dwar has no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
What Dwar reads, and where it is kept
The apps you choose. iOS’s Screen Time picker gives Dwar an opaque token for each app or category you pick; Dwar never learns their names. The tokens stay on your iPhone, shared only with Dwar’s own extensions — the parts of Dwar that apply and lift shields while the app is closed.
Apple Health, if you turn it on. With your permission, Dwar reads today’s activity from Apple Health — your steps, the distance you walked and ran, workout minutes, active calories, exercise minutes, stand hours, time in daylight and how many Activity rings you’ve closed — on your iPhone, to check it against your targets. It reads only the kinds you allow, and looks back over the last week only to see which of them your iPhone, Watch or band records, so it offers goals you can reach. It also notes whether your steps were written by an Apple Watch, so it can offer the Watch’s goals, and which unit the Health app shows distance in. This data is never sent off your phone, except inside your own iPhone backups, and it is never used for advertising or marketing and never shared with anyone.
WHOOP, if you connect it. You sign in on WHOOP’s own page and approve Dwar’s access to your cycles, recovery and sleep, with offline access so Dwar can keep checking without asking you to sign in again. From those Dwar reads four figures: strain and energy burned for your current WHOOP cycle, your recovery score and your sleep performance. It never reads your profile, body measurements, workouts or history. Dwar uses the four figures for one thing: comparing them with the targets you set, to decide whether your gated apps open. They come straight from WHOOP to your iPhone. Your WHOOP sign-in is kept in the iOS keychain on this iPhone. Only the most recent reading is kept, on your phone, replaced at every check, so Dwar can decide while it is closed. Every figure Dwar holds is shown to you on Home and on You. WHOOP’s own privacy policy covers the data WHOOP holds.
Your gates and settings. Gate names, apps, hours, targets and preferences, on your iPhone.
What leaves your phone
- Requests to WHOOP, only if you connect it: signing in, fetching your readings from WHOOP’s API, and asking WHOOP to revoke Dwar’s access when you disconnect.
- Purchases through Apple, only if you buy Dwar Pro: the App Store handles buying, restoring and checking your subscription, under Apple’s privacy policy. Dwar gets no name, email or payment detail.
Nothing is ever sent to Dwar’s developer.
This website
dwar.digital sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other companies’ servers. Cloudflare, which hosts it, handles the requests your browser makes to show you the pages. Its email links open your own email app, and what you write reaches Dwar’s developer only if you send it.
Deleting your data
Each of these works straight away, Hard mode or not:
- WHOOP only: on You, disconnect WHOOP. Dwar asks WHOOP to revoke its access, then deletes your WHOOP sign-in and your last WHOOP reading from your phone. You can also remove Dwar’s access from your WHOOP account.
- Apple Health: Settings › Health › Data Access & Devices › Dwar.
- Screen Time: Settings › Screen Time › Apps with Screen Time Access.
- Deleting Dwar removes its data from your phone. iOS can keep keychain items after an app is deleted, so disconnect WHOOP first to be sure your WHOOP sign-in goes too.
And all at once, from inside Dwar:
- Everything at once: in Dwar, open You and choose Erase everything. It removes every gate, releases every shield, deletes your readings and your WHOOP sign-in, and asks WHOOP to revoke Dwar’s access. Under Hard mode, Erase waits until Hard mode has switched off, 24 hours after you turn it off.
Security
Everything Dwar sends to WHOOP goes over HTTPS. Your WHOOP sign-in is kept in the iOS keychain, and what Dwar stores on your phone is protected by iOS’s own encryption. If Dwar’s developer learns of unauthorized access to data Dwar handles, you will be told promptly.
Children
Dwar is not directed at children under 13.
