Kindling Privacy

Kindling is a habit tracker that lives in your browser. We do not create an account for you. We do not run a Kindling server of your habits, check-ins, or puzzle scores.

What stays on this device

Your list, colors, days, times, streaks, layout, theme, reminder switch, and Focus puzzle progress are saved in this browser’s local storage. Clear the site data and that copy is gone. Another phone or laptop starts blank unless you bring a list over yourself.

What you choose to send

If you share a quote, a pack, or the app, the link is something you copy, scan, or post. A habit pack URL can include habit names, colors, days, and times — not your streaks, and not a login. Do not put a list in a public post if you would not say those names out loud.

What the host may see

Loading Kindling is an ordinary web visit. The host can receive standard request logs (address, browser, pages fetched). Kindling itself does not add an analytics product, ad network, or tracker on top of that. Install-to-home-screen uses the browser’s own prompt.

Children

Families use Kindling for chores on a shared device. We do not collect personal information from children. A child’s list, if you make one, stays in that browser unless you share a pack.
