- Pose detection stays on-device; the page says no video is stored or sent to third parties.
Field notes
Squatea uses iOS Screen Time permissions rather than trying to inspect installed apps directly. When a selected app is opened, the user chooses an access interval and performs the matching number of repetitions with the phone positioned about two meters away and the full body visible. The page describes on-device pose detection and lists annual and weekly subscription options.
