Private by design

Everything you record stays on your device. Whetlog never uploads what you record, and never shares or sells your data. No account needed — delete the app and your entries are gone. Anything the app does send (some apps report anonymous usage counts, with no identifiers) is listed plainly in its privacy policy.

Questions

Is Whetlog free?

Cataloging stones and blades and logging sessions are free, with no account and no trial clock. A one-time $9.99 Lifetime unlock adds Blade Card sharing and CSV export — there is no subscription and no renewal.

Where is my data stored?

On your iPhone. Whetlog never uploads what you record, and never shares or sells your data — there is no account and no cloud backend. Some apps send anonymous usage counts (no identifiers) so we can see which features get used; each app's privacy policy spells out exactly what, if anything, is sent.

Does Whetlog require an account?

No. You can start logging the moment the app opens — there is no sign-up, no email, and nothing to create.
