Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you, the creator of Minders, read what I post to the app? No. Your posts are private to you and stored exclusively in your iCloud drive. I don't have access to your private data.
- If I stop subscribing, will I lose access to my posts? No. You will never be locked out of your posts. Even without a subscription, you can browse through your main feed and search it. Only special tabs (Heart, Links, Media, Hashtags) will have limited access and you won't be able to create new streams or post more than 20 items on a stream.
- Can I export my posts? Yes. It's important to me that users have control over their data should they decide to stop using the app. All users can export to an archive (JSON or text format) or a PDF file.
- Is there a one-time payment option? Yes, there is an option to make a one-time payment instead of subscribing.
