What stays on the Swatch phone
Swatch iOS · 25 August 2026
Swatch is a plaster desk on one iPhone. You photograph a wall, rest two chips, walk rooms, keep mix codes, and optionally print a paint card. It is not a paint shop and it is not a public board.
Kept in the plaster folder
Wall photographs, room photographs, chip names and mix codes, optional light notes, your painter photo and display name, Wash balance, and which extra rooms you unlocked stay in on-device storage. Swatch does not run a server profile and does not sell that material.
When iOS asks
Swatch only asks at the moment a control needs it:
- Camera — Wall, House, or Mine when you tap Camera
- Photo library — choosing a wall, room, or painter photo, and writing a paint card into Photos
- Microphone — Chips when you tap Record
- Notifications — optional morning light reminder
- Tracking preference — Apple’s App Tracking Transparency sheet after Continue. Swatch does not use an advertising identifier to follow you into other companies’ apps or websites. Wall, House, Chips, and List still run if you decline.
Wash tins you buy
Wash tins are consumable In-App Purchases. Apple processes payment. Swatch does not see your full card number.
Names you type
A local word check may reject a room name, mix note, or display name before it is saved. Swatch does not publish rooms or chips to other people.
Other companies
Wall photos, room photos, light notes, and mix codes are not uploaded to third-party automated analysis services.
How old
Swatch is not aimed at children under 13. Use it only if you meet the minimum age in your region.
