Questions, answered.

The voice that sets you up. She asks four questions — what you want to work on, what a day needs to include, whether you’re starting today or already on your way, and what should happen when you miss a day — and turns your answers into your missions and your policy.

No. Every question has Type instead one tap away, and it stays there while she listens. Speaking is offered because it’s quicker to say what a day needs than to write it. Later on — editing a mission, checking in on a day — everything is typed.

Nowhere. The phone transcribes your voice itself; the app asks iOS for its speech model once and never sees the audio go anywhere. When the app asks for speech recognition it says why: “Your answers are transcribed on this device so Melonie can turn them into your missions.”

Edit it. Missions can be changed at any time, typed, and the change takes effect from today. Past days are judged by the missions you had then.

Whatever you told Melonie a day needs to include — a workout, three litres of water, no pastries, an hour of Swift, a photo. Five missions, or three, or one. Or take the classic 75-day challenge, which the app knows by name and sets up in one tap.

Only with your permission, and only three things. In the app’s words: “75 Kind reads your workouts, water and mindful minutes to offer them against today's missions. They stay on your phone.” When one matches a mission the app offers to close it. It offers; you decide. Nothing is ticked without you, and the switch is in Settings, on the Me tab.

Yes. Say “Log a mission in 75 Kind” and the phone asks which one. “What’s open in 75 Kind” tells you what’s left today.

The day, the run so far and the missions still open, in your theme. A done mission fills its ring and goes quiet. Never a check-in’s words, never a photo. Add it from the home screen the way you add any widget, in the medium size or the small.

For the sky. In the app’s words: “The trail takes on your local weather. Your location is used only to look up the sky and never leaves the device.” Say no and the sky follows the clock instead — clear, with the sun and the stars where the time of day puts them.

Three so far. Summit, a trail from a cabin through the forest to a moonlit peak. New York. Antigua. Each is a painting in a light and a dark version, with the day’s weather drawn into the sky. Summit is always free; every scene comes with a plan, and more are on the way.

Yes. In the app’s words: “The same seventy-five days, drawn somewhere else. Nothing about your progress changes.”

From the App Store, the way the app itself did, when it’s needed. The app asks Apple for the scene by name and Apple delivers it; the app never sees a byte of it in transit, and it is fetched from nowhere else.

Into the Journey, on the phone, and nowhere else — there is no server to send them to. When the app asks for the camera it says so: “Take your daily progress photo or video, or the picture in your ring. Photos and videos stay on this device.” Delete one and it’s gone; delete the app and they go with it.

No. There is no feed and nobody can leave a comment. The only thing that ever leaves is a card you share on purpose — a day, a milestone, or a then-and-now — and you see it before it goes.

Yes. When you tell Melonie you’re already on your way, the photos you took on those days can come in from your library, and each finds its day by its date. If your library is still downloading them from iCloud, try again in a bit.

The first seven days, once per install, with everything in them. After that, without a plan, the trail waits — nothing is lost. See it through is $9.99, one payment for this challenge; the other plans, and the honest answers about them, are on the pricing page.

On the Me tab, tap Restore purchase. A purchase is confirmed with the App Store and remembered by the phone; on a new phone, or after reinstalling, restoring brings it back.

From the Me tab, or in your Apple Account’s subscriptions in Settings. A plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. See it through never renews, so there is nothing to cancel.

No. Nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to. The app on your phone is the only copy of your challenge, so deleting the app deletes the challenge. Your phone’s own backup includes it the way it includes any app, and a new phone set up from the old one carries it across.

A request for the weather, so the sky is right. The App Store, for a purchase, a restore, or a scene’s paintings — and iOS’s own download of the speech model, once, so Melonie can hear you. Your feedback, only when you tap Send. Nothing about you rides along with any of it, and the privacy policy names each one.

The feedback screen tells you before you tap: “What leaves your phone: what you wrote, the screenshot if you add one, your email if you give it, and a few details about the app — its version and build, your iPhone and iOS version, your language and region, theme, text size, whether Reduce Motion or VoiceOver is on, which day you're on, which trail, and when you wrote this. Nothing else. Not your missions, your check-ins, your photos or where you are.”

No. There is no analytics in the app and nothing that builds a picture of you. What the app does contact, it contacts for one job each, and the privacy policy lists them.
