Effective date: September 18, 2026
The short version: Tabata Forge stores your workouts, history, and body metrics locally on your device. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere on its own. The app requests no internet access at all. Spoken motivational phrases use your device's on-device text-to-speech. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
Tabata Forge does not require an account and does not collect, transmit, or have access to the workouts, history, or body-metric entries you create. Everything is stored locally in the app's private storage on your device. We (the developer) never see this data, because the app has no network permission and cannot send it anywhere.
Tabata Forge can speak short motivational phrases aloud during a workout, and read a sample phrase aloud when you tap the "Test" button next to the Speech rate slider in Settings. This uses your device's built-in text-to-speech engine. Depending on your device and its settings, some text-to-speech engines process everything on-device, while others may send the text being spoken to an online service to generate the audio — that behavior is controlled by your device's system settings, not by Tabata Forge, and is governed by your text-to-speech provider's own privacy policy. You can turn spoken motivation off entirely from the gear icon on the home screen, under Settings → Motivation.
Completed and stopped-early workouts are logged locally so you can see your History chart and log. Body Metrics (weight and fitness level entries) are likewise stored only on your device. Both can be cleared at any time from within the app, and neither is ever transmitted anywhere.
Tabata Forge lets you share a text summary of a completed workout, or of your History, using Android's standard share sheet. This is entirely user-initiated — you choose the app or contact to share with, and Tabata Forge itself never sends this data anywhere on its own.
Tabata Forge requests only the device permissions it needs to function:
Tabata Forge does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, or location, has no internet permission, and contains no advertising or analytics software of any kind.
Tabata Forge is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, regardless of age — the app simply does not collect data in the first place, as described above.
If this policy changes, this page will be updated with a new effective date, and any material change affecting how your data is handled will be described here before you're asked to opt in.
