10 Squats Every 45 Mins reminds you to do 10 squats every 45 minutes and counts your reps with your iPhone camera. We collect as little as possible. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and we never sell your data.
Camera: The app looks at the camera picture live, on your iPhone, to count your squats and check your form. Video is never recorded, saved or uploaded.
Weight and height: If you choose to track them, they are stored only on your iPhone. They are left out of backups and never leave your device.
Reminders: Break reminders are scheduled on your iPhone using standard iOS notifications.
To back up your progress and to power the friends features, the app uses Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore). We store:
A random account ID. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number.
The username you choose.
Your squat progress: breaks completed, squat counts, streaks, ranks, badges and your schedule settings.
Friends activity: friend connections, friend requests, and cheers you send or receive.
Your account is tied to a random secret stored in your iCloud Keychain. That's how your progress comes back automatically if you reinstall the app or move to a new iPhone.
Anyone using the app can search for your username, so friends can find you.
Only people you accept as friends can see your rank, badges, streak and squat totals.
Nothing else is shared with anyone.
We use your information only to run the app: backing up and restoring your progress, and showing friends' leaderboards and cheers. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not sell or rent it to anyone.
You can delete everything at any time in the app: Settings → Delete account & data. This permanently removes your account, username, progress, friends and cheers from our servers and from your iPhone. It can't be undone.
10 Squats Every 45 Mins is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
10 Squats Every 45 Mins is not medical advice. Check with a doctor before starting any exercise routine, especially if you have a health condition or injury.
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
Reps aren't counting? Place your iPhone on the floor, leaning against something, about 2 metres (6 feet) away so your whole body is in view.
Not getting reminders? Open iOS Settings → 10 Squats → Notifications and turn them on. Then check your sitting hours in the app under Settings → Schedule.
New iPhone or reinstalled the app? Your progress restores automatically as long as iCloud Keychain is turned on.
Want to delete your data? In the app: Settings → Delete account & data.
