NoFlow

Privacy Policy

Last updated 14 August 2026

The short version. There is no account, no database of you, and no advertising. Your streak, your journal, the letter you write to yourself and the sites you block never leave your iPhone — we could not read them if we wanted to, because they are never sent anywhere. We do use a privacy-focused analytics tool for a handful of anonymous counts (which onboarding screen you're on, which setup question you picked, whether you started a trial or turned protection on): never your journal, your letter, or anything that could identify you. See "Analytics" below for the full, exact list. During setup you can also choose, entirely optionally, to leave your email for occasional reminders — see "Your email" below for exactly what that involves.

Who we are

NoFlow is made by Kevin Accorinti, an individual developer based in Italy. You can reach us at support@noflowapp.com and we answer every message.

What stays on your device

All of the following is stored locally on your iPhone and is never transmitted to us or to anyone else:

Deleting the app removes all of it. There is no copy anywhere else. You can also erase everything from inside the app at any time without deleting it.

Screen Time and Family Controls

To block apps and websites, NoFlow uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks, which you authorise once from inside the app. Two things are worth knowing about how that works:

Sites you've visited

Starting with iOS 26.4, Apple lets an app like NoFlow ask Screen Time for the web domains you've recently visited, so the app can recognise ones it should be blocking even before you type them in by hand. This is exactly what that involves:

This is the one place in NoFlow where anything related to your browsing is read, even briefly and only on your device, which is why it gets its own explanation here instead of being folded into a shorter line above.

Your email

During setup, before you see the paywall, NoFlow offers — never requires — leaving your email for occasional reminders. This is exactly what that involves:

Subscriptions

Payments are handled entirely by Apple. If you subscribe, Apple processes the transaction and tells the app one thing only: whether an active subscription exists. We never see your name, your email, your payment details or your address. Apple's own privacy policy governs that transaction.

The widget

The lock screen and home screen widget reads your day count from a shared container on your own device, so it can show the number without opening the app. That container never leaves the phone.

Links to other places

The app links out to Reddit's r/pornfree community and to this website. Those are separate services with their own privacy policies, and we have no control over and no visibility into what happens once you leave NoFlow.

Analytics

NoFlow uses TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service, to send a small, fixed set of anonymous signals. This is the complete list of what we measure, nothing more:

Every signal is a screen name, a plan identifier or a count — never your journal, your letter, your accountability partner's number, or which sites you've blocked. TelemetryDeck receives a random device identifier it generates itself, not linked to your Apple ID, your email or anything else that identifies you, and NoFlow silences every signal while it is being tested, so none of this counts real usage until it reaches you. There is no advertising identifier and no advertising of any kind. On the App Store, our privacy label lists these analytics data types (device ID, product interaction and purchase events), all marked as not used for tracking and not linked to your identity, alongside the optional email described above.

Children

NoFlow is made for adults choosing to limit their own access to adult content. It is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect anything from anyone, of any age, beyond the email address someone chooses to give us themselves.

Your rights

Regulations such as the GDPR give you the right to access, correct, export and delete the personal data a company holds about you. For everything the app itself handles — your letter, your journal, your streak, your blocklist — the answer is unusual but simple: we hold none of it, it never leaves your device. If you gave us your email, that is the one thing we do hold, and you can remove it instantly through the unsubscribe link in any email, or by writing to support@noflowapp.com.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a change ever meant we started collecting something, we would say so plainly in the app before it took effect, not quietly here.
