DreamshiftPrivacy Policy
Effective October 24, 2026 · Dreamshift for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch · Developer: Daniel Rice, drice1749@gmail.com
The short version
- Dreamshift keeps your baby's log on your devices and in your own iCloud.
- We don't run a server, and we can't see your log.
- No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no analytics, no data sold or shared with anyone.
- If you invite someone to help, they see the same log through Apple's iCloud sharing, because you chose to share it with them.
What Dreamshift stores, and where
| What | Where it lives | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Your log: feeds, diapers, sleep, notes you add, times | On your devices, and in your private iCloud (Apple's CloudKit) so it syncs between your devices | You, and anyone you invite to share it |
| Baby's name, due date, birth date, gestational age, feeding interval | Same as above | Same as above |
| Your caregiver names and who's on duty | Same as above | Same as above |
| Settings for this device (alerts on or off, this iPad's role) | On that device only | Only that device |
iCloud storage is provided by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. Dreamshift uses it through Apple's CloudKit; the data is in your iCloud account, not ours.
The one thing that leaves your private iCloud: handoff notices
When you and a helper take turns and one of you hands off, Dreamshift alerts the other person ("You're on duty"). To do that, it writes a tiny notice to Apple's public CloudKit database for this app. The notice contains only:
- a random-looking code made from your household (a one-way hash, not your household's ID and not anything about you or your baby),
- which caregiver is now on duty ("A" or "B"),
- the time.
No names, no baby data, nothing from your log. Each device deletes its own notices after a day. These notices exist only if you share your log with someone and hand off.
What Dreamshift does not do
- No account or sign-up. It uses the Apple ID your device is already signed in to for iCloud.
- No advertising, no ad identifiers, no tracking across apps or websites.
- No analytics or crash-reporting services.
- No sale or sharing of data with third parties.
- No microphone, camera or location use in this version.
Purchases
Dreamshift Family and the 14-day trial are bought through the App Store. Apple handles payment; Dreamshift only learns whether the purchase is active on your device.
Exports you make
If you create a care summary (PDF or CSV) for your pediatrician, Dreamshift makes the file on your device and hands it to the share sheet. Where it goes next (Mail, Messages, Files…) is your choice and is handled by that app.
Notifications and alarms
Reminders and the feed alarm are scheduled on your device by iOS. The "You're on duty" alert is delivered by Apple's push service using the notice described above.
Deleting your data
- Delete an entry: open it in History and choose Delete.
- Stop sharing: Settings → Manage sharing.
- Delete everything: delete Dreamshift from your devices, then remove its iCloud data in Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → Dreamshift → Delete Data.
Children
Dreamshift is for parents and caregivers. It stores information that you enter about your baby; it is not directed at children and does not collect anything from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date, and significant changes will be noted in the app's update notes.
