A logbook is a record of where you've been as a pilot. It is also, sometimes, a record sensitive enough that you'd rather not see it sitting in someone else's database. SoloTrack is built with that in mind.
Local-first, by default
SoloTrack stores your flights, templates, endorsement signatures, custom airports, onboarding state, notification memory, and timer state in a local SwiftData container on your device. The same data backs the home-screen widgets, App Shortcuts, and the Live Activity timer through a shared App Group.
That means:
- Daily use does not require a network connection.
- You don't need an account, email address, or sign-up.
- We don't operate a server that holds copies of your logbook.
Optional iCloud sync (CloudKit)
If you want your flights and templates on more than one Apple device, you can opt in to iCloud sync. SoloTrack uses Apple's CloudKit, so:
- Sync flows between your own devices via your Apple ID.
- Apple manages the storage and security; we don't operate the server.
- Only your flights and templates sync. Onboarding state, custom airports, notification memory, and timer state stay local to each device.
- You can turn it off in the App, or revoke access from your device's iCloud settings.
Subscription processing and privacy choices
Based on the current build:
- RevenueCat for subscription and Apple Ads attribution analytics.
- Apple's AdServices token for Apple Ads campaign attribution; no ads displayed inside SoloTrack.
- No third-party crash reporting SDKs.
- RevenueCat uses anonymous app user IDs for App Store subscription status, purchase restoration, and campaign measurement, without a SoloTrack account or email.
- No Firebase or Supabase flight-log backend.
- No selling of personal information.
- No cross-app or cross-site tracking.
SoloTrack uses Apple frameworks including SwiftData, CloudKit, WidgetKit, ActivityKit, App Intents, PencilKit, MapKit, UserNotifications, StoreKit, and AdServices, together with RevenueCat. See the Privacy Policy for the data categories and purposes.
Why this matters for student pilots
Your logbook contains identifiable training history, dates, instructor information, and signatures. Local-first storage means the failure modes are simple and small: your phone, your iCloud account, and your direct control over both.
Your choices
- Export anytime. CSV and PDF export are built in.
- Delete anytime. Delete individual flights, your full log, or remove the App entirely. If you used iCloud sync, also clear SoloTrack data from your device's iCloud settings.
- Lock or void endorsements. Endorsed flights are locked to preserve integrity, and a CFI-led void process is supported when needed.
