Frequently Asked Questions

Disciplines is a privacy-first wellness tracker for iOS built on a simple belief: your wellness data belongs to you. It helps you monitor your health across 7 modules, all processed on-device with no servers, no cloud, and no compromises. The app works completely offline in 5 languages (English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and German).

Disciplines is perfect for anyone who wants comprehensive wellness tracking without sacrificing privacy. Whether you're tracking fitness goals, monitoring what you drink, or building better habits, Disciplines adapts to your needs.

Disciplines requires iOS 26.0 or later. It works on iPhone with all data stored locally on your device.

Yes! Disciplines works completely offline. All data is stored on your device and all processing happens locally. No internet connection is ever required for tracking.

All your data is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure SwiftData framework. We don't have backend servers that collect your data. Period.

No. We physically cannot access your data because it never leaves your device. There are no analytics, no tracking, and no data collection of any kind.

Yes! Premium users can export raw CSV data, generate visual progress reports, and create offline backups.

Disciplines includes 7 tracking modules: Fasting (4 protocols + custom, cheat days, smart break detection), Drinks (1300+ verified drinks, hydration, caffeine & alcohol goals), Nutrition (macros, 20+ micros, 7 diet presets, barcode scanning), Weight (trends, body measurements, progress photos), Workout (57 workouts, MET-based calories, steps), Mood (quick log, journal, journey map), and Habits (custom habits, auto-tracking, streaks). Enable only the ones you need.

The core app does not include any barcode database. After installation, you can download offline food databases based on the regions you're interested in. Once downloaded, scan any product barcode and Disciplines instantly pulls nutrition data from your downloaded database. Premium users can download all available databases (~3M+ products worldwide); Free can download one offline data pack.

Smart Insights is a Premium feature that connects all your modules and automatically detects patterns across your wellness data. For example, it can show you how drinks affect your mood, how your workouts shape your weight, or whether caffeine impacts your energy.

We're working on a full Workout Module with set tracking, program management, and rep ranges. We're also building Apple Watch integration and optional HealthKit sync.

Yes. Optional HealthKit sync is coming soon, allowing you to sync wellness data with Apple Health. All processed on-device.

The Free tier is a complete, functional app, not a demo. Track all metrics, and work completely offline and ad-free in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and German. Premium adds the intelligence layer: Smart Insights, progress reports, full analytics, and more.

Premium is available at $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year (save 25%). Prices shown are in USD for the United States. Pricing and taxes may vary by country and currency. There's a 14-day free trial so you can try all Premium features before committing. All purchases are handled securely through the App Store; you cannot buy Premium from the website.

Yes! Premium includes a 14-day free trial. After the trial, you'll revert to the Free tier with all 7 modules still available. Your data stays on your device; nothing is deleted.

No. Disciplines has no ads in either the Free or Premium tier. We make money from Premium upgrades, not advertising.

The core app is around 75 MB. Downloadable content for the offline food database is added based on your needs and will be on top of that, depending on which databases you download and how many. Tracking data itself is lightweight. Even a full year of data won't be more than a couple tens of MB.

Currently Disciplines is optimized for iPhone. iPad support is planned for a future update.

On your old phone, create a backup by exporting your raw data with the .disciplines extension. Make sure to store your passphrase safely. On your new phone, install Disciplines and import the .disciplines file. You will be asked to enter your passphrase. After the success message, wait 5 to 10 minutes for the background job to finish setting up your data. All your data should become visible in the app no more than 15 minutes after the import. We recommend not logging anything during this period and waiting until the transfer is fully complete.
