Local-first, with limited optional telemetry.

What stays on your device

Your cook history, cook names, exact temperatures, timings, notes, ratings, favourites, photos, videos, and local notification schedules stay on your device. SmokeShow does not require an account and does not upload this cook content to SmokeShow servers.

Your choices come first

On a fresh install, SmokeShow shows its privacy disclosure before the usual splash animation. Anonymous analytics are off by default, and crash-reporting choice is presented before optional telemetry can become effective. Both choices remain available in Settings & About.

Optional app analytics

In-app analytics are off by default. If production diagnostics are configured for the distributed build and you opt in, SmokeShow can use Firebase Analytics to send fixed feature events such as whether a cook, rest timer, Live Activity, Settings, or support link was used. Events may include fixed categories such as a built-in preset, manual or preset creation, app or App Intent source, and completion path.

App analytics never include user-entered cook names, note text, photos, videos, email addresses, exact temperatures, exact timings, session IDs, precise location, or a SmokeShow user ID. You can turn analytics off at any time in Settings & About.

Crash reports

After the first-launch privacy notice, crash reporting is presented as on unless you switch it off. If production diagnostics are configured, Firebase Crashlytics may receive crash stacks, app version and build, build configuration, device and operating-system details, and sanitized infrastructure failure categories. SmokeShow does not attach cook content, raw error text that may contain user data, or a user identifier. Crash reports can be disabled in Settings & About.

What leaves the device

Only enabled Firebase telemetry leaves the app: optional fixed analytics events and enabled crash diagnostics. Firebase may process technical identifiers and network information needed to operate those services. SmokeShow does not use advertising SDKs, ad tracking, cross-app tracking, Firebase identity, messaging, or performance monitoring.

Website analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4 for page views, sessions, general traffic sources, and site reliability. Website analytics are separate from app telemetry. SmokeShow does not join website GA4 activity to in-app Firebase Analytics or to your local cook history.

Email and early access

The website opens your email app when you choose an email or early-access link. If you send a message, your email provider and SmokeShow's email provider process the address, message, and any information you choose to include so we can reply. Email content is not added to app analytics.
