Question 1

What is SideSwipe Labs?

Accepted Answer

SideSwipe Labs is a privacy-first design lab building native iOS and macOS applications. We create wellness and creativity apps that keep 100% of your data on your device. No servers, no tracking, no exceptions.

Question 2

Are SideSwipe Labs apps really private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our apps use a zero-server architecture: your data never leaves your device. We collect no analytics, use no third-party trackers, and require no user accounts. Files are stored under iOS Data Protection (FileProtectionType.complete), the strongest tier Apple offers, with keys held in the Secure Enclave, not by us.

Question 5

Do I need to create an account?

No. All SideSwipe Labs apps work without an account or sign-in. Your data is stored locally on your device. There is no login, no email verification, and no personal information collected.
