PracticeBreak

PracticeBreak will be coming soon on the App Store. Please stay tuned.

PracticeBreak is a meditation app for iPhone designed to help musicians ease into their practice sessions, take mindful breaks, and reflect on their observations. If you’re looking for a simple and organized way to structure your sessions, this app is for you.

Key features include:

  • A built-in timer where you can choose from preset durations of 3, 5, 10, 15, or 20 minute sessions.

  • A dedicated journal page to write down observations from your practice or meditation sessions. These entries are saved locally on your device for your personal reflection.

  • A way to import your own sound or music files from your iPhone to be played automatically when your selected timer finishes, creating a peaceful transition out of your session.

PracticeBreak is designed to help you bring moments of stillness and clarity throughout your day. If you have any questions about the app, please contact me here.

PracticeBreak is completely free to download for all users. If you would like to support my work and help me develop more apps, please consider making a contribution here.

Privacy Policy and Disclaimer for PracticeBreak

Last Updated: October 20, 2025

With PracticeBreak, I value your privacy and am committed to ensuring your personal data remains secure. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use the app.

1. Data Collection

PracticeBreak does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or information to external servers.
All information—such as your journal entries, sound files, and timer activity—is stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework.

SwiftData securely stores this information in a private database that only you and the app can access. I have no access to this data and do not use any external servers to process or store it.

2. Use of Data

All data you create or manage within PracticeBreak is for your personal use only.
Since I do not collect, access, or share your data, you remain in full control of your information at all times.

  • Timer Page: Used to manage your meditation or practice sessions. No personal data is collected or transmitted.

  • Journal Page: Journal entries are securely stored locally on your device using SwiftData.

  • Sounds Page: Any audio or music files you import into the app are saved locally so you can use them as completion sounds for your timer sessions.

I do not access, share, or transmit any of these files.

3. Third-Party Services

PracticeBreak does not use or integrate with any third-party services that collect, share, or track user data.
All features and functionality operate entirely on your device.

4. Access to Files and Audio

PracticeBreak may request permission to access your device’s file picker or document browser so you can import your own sound files (such as music or audio clips).
These files are copied and stored locally on your device within the app’s private storage area. I do not collect, transmit, or share any audio files you import. They remain private and under your control at all times.

5. Data Security

Because all data is stored locally on your device, I recommend using your device’s built-in security features (such as a passcode or biometric authentication) to help protect your information.
PracticeBreak does not have access to your device’s contents or security settings.

6. Disclaimer

PracticeBreak is designed to help you ease into your practice sessions, relax through moments of silence, and record your personal reflections and observations. It is intended as a supportive tool for mindfulness and self-reflection.

PracticeBreak is not a substitute for professional care, therapy, or medical treatment. If you are experiencing significant stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental or physical health concerns, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.

The app’s features are provided for personal well-being, focus, and organization only and should be used as part of a balanced approach to self-care.

7. Updates to This Privacy Policy

If this Privacy Policy is updated, the changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document.
You are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
