Delete your account

Deletion is built into the app and takes effect immediately. You do not need to email anyone or wait for us to process a request.

Export first if you want a copy. Deletion is permanent and there is no undo — we cannot restore a deleted account, because after it is deleted there is nothing left to restore from. Open You → Export to write your whole diary to a JSON file. It is free on every tier and takes a few seconds.

How to do it

Open Daylish and make sure you are signed in.
Go to the You tab.
Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete my account.
Read the confirmation and confirm. That is the point of no return.

What is removed

Immediately, and permanently:

Your login. The authentication record holding your email address and password hash is deleted from our servers. You will not be able to sign in again with it.
Your backup. Everything copied to your account — profile, goals and targets, journal entries and the foods in them, weight, water, fasting sessions, mood entries, saved meals, recipe activity and your shopping list — is deleted along with it.
Your push token, so no further notification can reach your device.
The copy on your phone. The on-device diary is emptied as part of the same action, so the app is left as it was on first install.

What is not removed, and why

An App Store subscription. Apple bills subscriptions, not us, and deleting your Daylish account does not cancel one. Cancel it in Apple's settings first — iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions — or you will keep being charged for an account that no longer exists.
Purchase and tax records. Apple and our subscription provider retain records of transactions for as long as accounting and tax law requires. That is outside our control and it does not include your diary.
A JSON file you exported. That copy is yours and lives wherever you saved it. Delete it yourself if you no longer want it.

If you cannot get into the app

Email alexionescu870@gmail.com from the address the account was created with and ask us to delete it. We may need to verify that the account is yours before we act, and we aim to acknowledge within two business days.

Signing out is not the same thing

Signing out leaves your diary on the phone and on your account, and it comes back when you sign in again. That is deliberate — most people who sign out are not trying to destroy a year of logs. Use Delete my account if that is what you actually want.
