FAQ
How do I restore purchases?
Open Brineleaf and use Restore Purchases in the app. Restoring asks Apple to re-check your Apple ID for an active subscription for Brineleaf (Aquarium Tracker: Brineleaf). Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID you used to subscribe.
Where are my tanks and water tests stored?
On your iPhone. Brineleaf stores tanks, water tests (pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, temperature, and optional GH, KH, and salinity), and your care schedule on the device with SwiftData. There is no account, and nothing is sent to a server run by the developer. If iCloud or another device backup is on, Apple may include that on-device data in the backup under your backup settings.
Why aren't care reminders firing?
Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. Without Premium, the app includes 2 reminders. Check that notifications are allowed for Brineleaf (Aquarium Tracker: Brineleaf) in Settings > Notifications. If permission is off, the app can't show a reminder. Focus and Do Not Disturb can also silence notifications that are otherwise allowed.
Why isn't the widget updating?
The home screen widget is part of Premium. It reads the app's data on your device. Open Brineleaf so it can refresh that on-device data, then check the widget again. iOS also chooses when widgets refresh. If it still looks wrong, remove the widget and add it again from the home screen.
What is free, and what does Premium include?
Free includes 1 tank, 7 days of history, and 2 reminders. Premium unlocks unlimited tanks, history, and reminders, plus charts, custom ranges, a livestock list, CSV export, and a home screen widget. Water tests can include pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and temperature, and optionally GH, KH, and salinity. The care schedule covers water changes, filter cleaning, and feeding.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed in your Apple ID settings. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Apple ID (your name) > Subscriptions, select Brineleaf (Aquarium Tracker: Brineleaf), and cancel. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid renewal. You keep your subscription until the period you've already paid for ends. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
What are the subscription plans?
The app offers auto-renewing monthly and yearly subscriptions through Apple. The monthly plan includes a 1-week free introductory offer for eligible users. The yearly plan does not include a free trial. The price of each plan is shown in the App Store and may vary by region. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. See the Terms of Use for full details.
Is my data private?
Yes. There is no account, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking. Tanks, water tests, and your care schedule stay on your phone. No data is collected by the developer. See the Privacy Policy for the full story.
How do I delete my data?
Delete the app from your iPhone. That removes tanks, water tests, the care schedule, reminders, the livestock list, and settings stored on the device, including data the widget reads. If iCloud or another device backup is on, copies may remain in that backup until you delete them under your backup settings. Cancel your subscription separately in Apple ID settings if you no longer want to be billed.
