Overview
Quiet Move is an offline-first iPhone app for importing, analyzing, and training from chess games. Quiet Move does not require an account and does not use advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics in the app.
Data stored on your device
Quiet Move stores imported chess games, PGN and FEN content, source links, analysis results, generated puzzles, training attempts, saved public provider usernames, purchase-entitlement state, and app settings locally on your iPhone.
The Share Extension temporarily places confirmed import content in Quiet Move’s private App Group container so the main app can validate and import it. Quiet Move does not operate a server that receives or stores this content.
Deleting Quiet Move removes its local app data and shared import inbox, subject to normal iOS backup and restoration behavior controlled by Apple and the user. Quiet Move has no remote account or server-side copy to delete.
On-device analysis
Chess analysis runs locally with the bundled Arasan 22.3 engine. Imported positions and engine results are not sent to a Quiet Move analysis service. After a game is imported, its review and training features work without a network connection.
Provider requests you initiate
Quiet Move makes network requests only after a clear user action:
- A Chess.com or Lichess username import sends the public username to that provider’s documented read-only public API to request completed public game data.
- Confirming an exact public Lichess game link authorizes Quiet Move to request that public game when the app next becomes active. A saved request may be retried after a temporary network or server failure.
- Opening an original-game or play-again link leaves Quiet Move and opens the provider website through iOS.
Quiet Move does not receive provider credentials, log in to a provider account, scrape game pages, poll usernames, or perform background imports. Bare Chess.com game links are not fetched because Chess.com does not document an exact-game-by-ID public endpoint for this flow.
These requests go directly from your device to the selected provider. Provider processing is governed by that provider’s privacy policy and terms. Quiet Move’s developer does not receive or retain the request or response.
Purchases
Apple processes the optional Quiet Move Plus purchase. Quiet Move receives verified entitlement status but does not receive payment-card or bank details. Apple’s handling of App Store purchases is governed by Apple’s privacy policy.
This website
This website requires no account and has no advertising trackers or analytics cookies enabled at launch. Its code is prepared for optional aggregate, cookie-free analytics. This policy will identify the provider before that analytics service is enabled.
Like any hosted website, infrastructure providers may process basic request information as needed to deliver pages, prevent abuse, and maintain security. The support link opens your email client; the site does not operate a contact-form database.
Children
Quiet Move does not knowingly collect personal information from children or anyone else. The app has no account, social features, messaging, or public profile.
Changes to this policy
If Quiet Move’s data practices change, this policy and the App Store privacy answers will be updated before the changed version is distributed. The effective date at the top will also be revised.
