What Hinginator does

On a phone that folds, such as iPhone Duo, Hinginator reads the hinge through Apple's hinge API. On every iPhone and iPad, it reads the motion sensors to tell how far the device is tilted. It hands those angles, or a status such as Partially Open or Face Down, to the Shortcuts app. Each reading is passed to your shortcut on the device and nowhere else.

What Hinginator collects

Nothing. Hinginator has no account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no servers. It makes no network requests.

Shortcuts

The four actions, Get Hinge Angle, Get Hinge Status, Get Tilt Angle and Get Tilt Status, run inside the Shortcuts app on your device. What your shortcut does with the value is up to the shortcut you build; Hinginator does not see or keep it.

App Store

Apple may share anonymous, aggregated statistics with developers (such as download counts) and, if you opt in on your device, crash reports. That is controlled by Apple and by your own device settings.
