Tuckd is a bedtime/wake-up accountability alarm app. This page explains what the app does and doesn't do with your data. The short version: nothing about your sleep or your photos is uploaded to an account, sold, shared with advertisers, or tracked across other apps. Almost everything the app does happens entirely on your own device, and the app never requests your location at all.
No photo or video is ever saved. Your bedtime photos and your morning outside photo/sky video only ever exist in your phone's memory for as long as it takes to check them, and are discarded immediately after. Tuckd has no photo library, no local gallery, and no "last capture" storage — nothing is written to disk for any of these.
The verification check. To confirm a task was actually done — not just skipped or faked — every bedtime photo, morning outside photo, and sky-video frame is sent to one of two AI vision providers, which answer a simple yes/no question about it (for example: "does this look like someone in bed with the lights off?"). We picked these two providers, and only these two, specifically because each publishes an account-level commitment not to retain or train on image data, not just text:
Beyond these two providers, we intend to commission an independent third-party security audit of Tuckd's own code — that hasn't happened yet, and this page will be updated with the report (or a link to it) once it has.
Both requests go from your phone to the provider directly — no server of ours sits in between reading, logging, or storing your photo. The one exception is a technical one, not a data-handling one: browsers (and the web view this app is built on) block apps from calling Cloudflare's API directly, a restriction called CORS, so the Cloudflare fallback path alone is relayed through a small piece of code we host that does nothing but forward the image to Cloudflare and hand back its answer — it's a few dozen lines, it writes nothing to disk or to a log anywhere, and it's never touched at all unless Groq happens to be unavailable.
None of this asks you to take our word for it. This app's code is not compiled or obfuscated — the app's JS source files, exactly as written, ship readable inside the installed app. Anyone, including an AI assistant you paste it into, can extract it and read precisely which request goes where, with what data, rather than trusting this page's description of it secondhand.
Once an answer comes back, the image is gone on the provider's end, and gone on the app's end too. No photo is ever shown again on the app's own done/confirmation screen.
We are actively working toward running this verification step entirely on your device instead (using Apple's and Google's on-device AI models), so that in a future update, verification photos won't need to leave your phone in the first place. Until that ships, this is how verification works.
This policy applies to the Tuckd app on Android and iOS. There is no companion website, no user account, and no server-side profile tied to you — the app doesn't ask for your name, email, or any other identifying information at any point.
Tuckd uses your camera to power its core feature: a photo at bedtime confirming you're in bed with the lights off, and a short video/photo in the morning confirming you're outside. The camera is only ever active while you're actively taking that photo or video — it's never accessed in the background.
The app does not use your microphone. The morning video is recorded without an audio track, and no permission to access the microphone is requested on either platform.
Bedtime and wake-up alarms are scheduled directly with your device's operating system (Android's AlarmManager, or Apple's AlarmKit on iOS). No push-notification service or external server is involved in delivering an alarm — it's handled entirely locally, even if your phone has no signal or is in airplane mode.
The only data Tuckd keeps at all is your schedule and streak — your bed/wake times, onboarding preferences, and check-in history. All of it is stored locally in the app's own storage on your device; none of it is ever stored on a server.
Tuckd is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region) and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If this policy changes — for example, once on-device verification ships and the network call described above is no longer needed — we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
