A recovery summary made on your phone, that never leaves it
Most apps that show you insights about yourself do it by sending your data to a server, running the analysis there, and sending the result back. That is normal, and most people never think about it. But it means the most private thing about you, your recovery, left your phone and now sits on someone else's computer. Escape does the analysis a different way. It writes your summary on the phone itself, and it never leaves.
What the summary is
It is a short, plain-language read on how your recovery is actually going. Not a wall of numbers. A few sentences that change as you go, with rotating views. This week, what your overall arc looks like, and what seems to be working for you specifically. It is the kind of thing a thoughtful friend might tell you if they could see your patterns, except no one sees them but you.
It is made on your phone
The summary is written by on-device intelligence, right on the iPhone, using work the phone can already do without sending anything out. Your entries, your patterns, the raw material of it, none of that gets uploaded to be analyzed. There is no server of ours doing the reading. We could not show you your own summary if you asked, because it is not on anything we own. It is made on the phone, it stays on the phone, and that is the whole design.
Why that is different from how most apps work
When your data lives on a server, it can be searched, sorted, sold in an acquisition, handed over under a subpoena, or spilled in a breach. None of those are hypothetical for this category. The only summary that cannot leak is the one that was never collected in the first place. Doing the analysis on the phone is not a smaller version of the cloud approach. It is a different promise. More on how to check this for any app you are considering.
The honest caveat
On-device intelligence needs a recent iPhone, the kind that supports Apple Intelligence. On older phones, the summary simply is not there. It is not switched off or held behind a paywall, it just does not appear, because the phone cannot do that work locally. If you have a recent iPhone, you get it. If you do not, the rest of the app works exactly the same, and nothing about you leaves your phone either way.
This is the same idea the whole app is built on. Your streak, your journal, your blocks, your summary, all of it lives on your device. If that is the part that matters to you, it is the entire reason Escape exists.
