A quiet place for the things you carry.
Last updated 24 May 2026
becoming is small and personal. The data it holds is yours: the names of the people you love, the prayers you carry, the reflections you write. This page describes what it collects, why, and how it is cared for. It is written in plain language because the things it covers matter.
becoming is operated by Becoming Labs LLC, a single-member company based in Oklahoma. Where this page says we, that is who it means.
Only what the app needs to do its work for you.
- Account. Your name and email, provided through Sign in with Apple, Google, or email and password.
- Your people. The relationships you add or import: names, optional photos, optional phone or email, optional birthdays, the tier you place them in, and the notes you keep on each one.
- Your reflections. The things you write: daily formation entries, weekly Pulse and monthly Season responses, prayers logged.
- Contacts (with permission). If you choose to import, the app reads your iOS contacts on device. Only the people you add become part of becoming.
- Calendar (with permission). If you enable it, the app reads your calendar on device to surface the day. Calendar events are not uploaded.
- Notifications token. If you enable reminders, an APNs token so the app can reach you.
- Basic diagnostics. Sign-in events and usage counts that help us keep the app working. No advertising identifiers, no cross-app tracking.
Reflections are treated as sensitive.
Your reflections, prayers, and formation entries can reveal religious belief and personal life. They are encrypted in transit, stored under row-level security so only your account can read them, and never used for advertising, training, or analytics.
A short list of places.
- Supabase (Postgres, hosted in the United States) is the system of record for your account, your people, and your reflections. Every user-data table is row-level scoped to your account; the app cannot see another user's data.
- Vercel hosts a small server-side layer: the daily formation request, account deletion, a server-mediated note feed.
- Your iPhone is the local-first home for everything. The app reads and writes its own on-device store and syncs in the background.
One call a day. None on the Sabbath.
Once a day, the app generates a short formation card for you using Anthropic's Claude API. The prompt library is fixed and curated; we send Claude only what is needed to produce the day's card. Anthropic does not train on this content.
Scripture is delivered through the YouVersion Platform API. When you read a passage, the reference, not your reflections, is requested. Attribution is shown alongside the text.
Only the third parties that make the app work.
- Apple and Google: sign-in, push notifications, the App Store.
- Supabase: database and authentication.
- Vercel: server-side hosting.
- Anthropic: daily formation generation.
- YouVersion: scripture delivery.
becoming does not sell or share your data with anyone else. There are no advertising SDKs and no cross-app tracking.
As long as your account does.
Your data lives in becoming for as long as your account does. When you delete your account, it goes with you.
From inside the app, in two steps.
Profile → Delete Account. This cascades through every user-data table and removes everything tied to your account. If you signed in with Apple, the app also revokes the Apple token so future sign-ins start clean.
If you'd rather have a person do it for you, write to hellobecomingapp@gmail.com from the address on your account.
See it, correct it, delete it.
You can ask to see what we hold, correct anything that is wrong, or have it all deleted. Write to hellobecomingapp@gmail.com.
Not for children under 13.
becoming is not directed at children under 13 and is not intended for their use.
If this page changes, we'll say so.
If this page changes in a way that affects you, we'll update the date at the top and, where it matters, surface a note in the app.
