Cherri Shortcuts Privacy Policy

Effective October 20, 2026 · Last updated October 28, 2026

Cherri Shortcuts doesn't collect your personal data. Your code stays on your device, with one exception: when you tap Export, your shortcut is sent to a signing service so iOS will accept it.

What stays on your device

• The Cherri code you write in the editor.
• Your settings: editor font, font size, light and dark themes, whether Export asks first, and whether you've seen the welcome screen.
• Whether you've unlocked Cherri Premium (a simple on-device flag, see Purchases below).

All of this is stored locally in the app's own storage. Compiling happens entirely on your device and uses no network connection.

What leaves your device: Export

iOS only imports signed shortcuts. When you tap Export, Cherri Shortcuts compiles your code and sends the compiled, unsigned shortcut to HubSign (hubsign.routinehub.services), a signing service run by RoutineHub. HubSign returns the signed shortcut, and Cherri Shortcuts hands it to you through the iOS share sheet.

The request contains the compiled shortcut (which includes anything you wrote into it, such as text and URLs), the name "Shortcut", and the app and Cherri compiler version numbers. As with any internet request, HubSign's servers can also see your device's IP address. If HubSign is busy, the app may repeat the same request a couple of times.

Cherri Shortcuts doesn't control HubSign, and RoutineHub's own policies govern how it handles requests. Please don't put passwords or other secrets in code you export. By default Cherri Shortcuts asks you before exporting, and you can change that in Settings.

What leaves your device: Import

Import turns a shortcut you already have back into Cherri code. You give Cherri Shortcuts an iCloud link to the shortcut, either by pasting it into the app or by choosing Cherri Shortcuts in the Shortcuts app's share sheet. Nothing is requested until you tap Import or share a link.

To get the shortcut, the app contacts Apple's iCloud sharing service (icloud.com) and downloads the shortcut file from the address iCloud returns. Apple can see the link you asked for and your device's IP address, and Apple's own policies govern that. The app then converts the shortcut into Cherri code on your device. The developer does not receive the link, the shortcut, or the code.

When you share a link from the Shortcuts app, a small extension passes the link to Cherri Shortcuts through storage that only the app and its extension can reach. The link is deleted as soon as the app picks it up, and the app ignores and deletes a link that has been waiting more than 15 minutes.

What we don't do

• No accounts or sign-in.
• No ads.
• No analytics or tracking tools.
• No selling or sharing of your data.
• The app itself sends the developer no data. Feedback reaches the developer only if you choose to submit it (see Feedback below).

Feedback

Settings has a Send Feedback link, and error messages in the editor have a Send Feedback about this error link. Both open a short Google Form in your browser. To save you typing, the link pre-fills the app version, your device model and iOS version, and, if you came from an error, the error message. Nothing is sent until you tap Submit on the form, and you can edit or clear any field first. An email address is optional and only needed if you'd like a reply.

The form is run by Google, so Google's privacy policy applies to it. The developer receives your answers in a private Google Sheet and uses them only to fix problems, improve the app, and reply if you left an email. To have a response deleted, email the address below. There is also an Email Instead link in Settings, which opens your mail app and sends only what you write.

Purchases

Cherri Premium is an optional one-time in-app purchase. Apple processes the payment and manages your purchase history through your Apple ID, and the developer never sees your payment details. The app checks your purchase with Apple on your device and remembers the result locally so Premium features stay unlocked. Restore Purchase asks Apple whether this Apple ID has already bought it.

Links

Some screens link to websites, such as the Cherri language reference. Those sites have their own privacy practices.

TestFlight and the App Store

If you install Cherri Shortcuts through TestFlight or the App Store, Apple may collect crash reports and usage information under its own privacy policy, and the developer may see some of it through App Store Connect. If you submit feedback through TestFlight, such as a screenshot or comment, the developer receives it.

Shortcuts you create

Shortcuts you export belong to you. Once they're in the Shortcuts app, Apple's terms and privacy policy apply to them, as does the privacy policy of any third-party app the shortcut uses.

Children

Cherri Shortcuts isn't directed at children, and it doesn't collect personal information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with an updated date.
