Privacy & Support
Privacy Policy
Repbar does not collect any data.
The camera
Repbar counts your repetitions with the front camera. This is what happens while counting is running:
- Each camera frame is analysed on your iPhone, using Apple's on-device Vision framework, to find where your head and shoulders are and how large they appear.
- Only a handful of coordinates are taken from each frame — the positions of a few head and shoulder points. They are what the repetition counter follows.
- No image, video or still, is ever recorded, saved or transmitted. Frames are measured and immediately discarded. Nothing is written to disk.
- Nothing is uploaded, because the app contains no network code at all.
- The camera runs only while the counting screen is open. It is released as soon as you leave the app, and stops by itself after two minutes without movement.
iOS asks for your permission before the camera is used for the first time. You can withdraw it at any time in Settings → Repbar → Camera; the rest of the app, including logging sets by hand, keeps working without it.
What the app stores
Every set you log — the exercise, the number of repetitions and the time — is written to a database inside the app's own container on your iPhone. That is the only data the app creates.
What the app does not do
- Repbar has no network code. It makes no requests to any server, ours or anyone else's.
- Repbar contains no analytics or tracking SDK of any kind.
- Repbar contains no advertising.
- Repbar requires no account and no sign-in, and asks for no personal information.
- Apart from the camera, Repbar requests no system permissions — no health data, no location, no contacts, no notifications, no photo library.
- Repbar does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and does not track you across apps or websites.
Where your data goes
Nowhere. It stays on your iPhone. Because the data lives in the app's container, it is included in an encrypted iPhone backup if you make one; Apple's backup terms apply to that copy, and we have no access to it.
Deleting your data
- Settings → Delete All Data removes every set you have logged, immediately and permanently.
- Deleting the app removes all of its data from your iPhone.
Neither action needs to reach a server, because nothing was ever sent to one.
Children
Repbar collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If a future version of Repbar ever collects or transmits data, this policy and the App Store privacy details will be updated before that version ships.
Support
Questions, bug reports and feedback go to mail.decoded@gmx.at. There is no account and no login — just write, and include your iPhone model and iOS version if something is not working.
Counting is inaccurate
The counter follows your head and shoulders, so both need to be in the picture. Prop the iPhone so that your upper body stays in frame for the whole set. You can look left, right or down — that does not affect the count. If it still miscounts, write to the address above and say which exercise and how far off it was.
The camera does not start
Check Settings → Repbar → Camera. If access is off, the app says so and you can still add every set by hand.
