In short: Meltaway has no accounts, no ads and no tracking. Your timer labels never leave your device. If you agree to anonymous statistics, the app sends us usage numbers (like how long your timers were and which look you picked). Say no and nothing is sent. You can change your mind any time in Settings.
Meltaway is developed by Raw Coder, Romania. For any question or request about your data, email rawcoder@icloud.com.
Your running timer, the labels you type ("Homework", "Tidy my room"), your favourite duration, look, colors and all settings are stored only on your device so the app works. They are never sent anywhere and are deleted when you remove the app.
On first launch the app asks if you want to help with anonymous statistics. Nothing is sent until you tap "Yes". If you agree, the app sends:
| What | Example | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A random install ID | 3f2a… | to know that several timers come from the same install, without knowing who you are |
| Usage events | app opened, timer started, paused, finished, stopped | to see how people use timers |
| Timer details | length in minutes, how much had melted when stopped, look and color, started from widget or app | to choose better presets and looks |
| App and device basics | version 1.0, iOS 26, iPhone, language "en" | to find bugs on specific versions |
| Settings you change | sound off, gentle time display | to learn what bothers people |
We do not collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location or advertising identifier. We do not track you across other apps or websites, and we never sell data.
Statistics are processed on our behalf by PostHog, an analytics service, on servers in the European Union, under a data processing agreement. PostHog technically receives your IP address when data is sent; it is not stored with the statistics and we do not use it to identify you.
Statistics rely on your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a) and, for storing the install ID on your device, Romanian Law 506/2004 art. 4(5)). Data stored only on your device is strictly necessary for the app to work. Statistics are kept for at most 12 months, then deleted.
Meltaway is suitable for all ages and does not ask for age. If you are under 16, ask a parent before accepting statistics. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
If anything changes (for example, if we ever add ads), we will update this page and the date above before the change reaches the app, and ask again for any new use that needs your consent.
Found a bug, have an idea, or want your data deleted? Email rawcoder@icloud.com with your device model and the app version (shown at the bottom of Settings). We usually reply within a few days.
