Effective 2026. Aether is made by Hadger (IP Shmigirilov).
Aether has no server, no account, and no analytics. Your centers of gravity, the two-tap energy control and any optional short reflection are processed only on your device to draw the field, and are never transmitted, stored remotely, or shared. Written reflections are consumed into the field's parameters and then discarded — they are not kept. Everything Aether makes lives in local storage on your iPhone or iPad.
App Store purchases (Apple StoreKit). Everything else — the setup, the field, the widgets, StandBy, history and sharing — works in Airplane Mode. There is no Private Cloud Compute and no cloud model. Nothing leaves the device unless you tap Share and hand a card to the system share sheet yourself.
Data Not Collected. There is no account, no identifier, and no tracking of any kind.
Aether requests exactly one permission, and only at the moment you first save a field to Photos: add-only access to your photo library. Choosing a photo uses the system picker, which needs no permission at all. There is no microphone, location, contacts, health or notification access.
Any saved field can be removed in the app at any time; deleting the app deletes everything it stored.
