Be Still and Know

Privacy

Last updated August 22, 2026

Be Still and Know is a personal app for visualization scripts you write and record. This page describes what the app stores and where it goes.

What stays on your devices

Scripts, scenes, recordings, attached images, practice sessions, review dates, goal queues, and playback settings live in the app’s SwiftData store on the device.

iCloud

If you are signed into iCloud, that store syncs through CloudKit in the container iCloud.com.sphericalwave.beStillAndKnow. Sync uses your Apple ID. Be Still and Know does not run its own account system.

Microphone

Recording a scene uses the microphone. Audio stays in the local store and, if iCloud sync is on, in your CloudKit data. It is not uploaded to a Be Still and Know server — there isn’t one.

Photos

You can attach images to a scene from the system photo picker. Those images are stored with the scene, and sync with it if iCloud is on. The app does not browse your whole library.

Apple Music

On iPhone, the countdown music bed can read your music library so you can pick a playlist. Be Still and Know does not upload that library.

Diagnostics

An on-device error log records audio-session and CloudKit account-status messages so you can see what happened. It does not leave the device.
