Skip Atelier

A private studio for land skip-cast practice. You mark the slot you already placed. The journal stays on the phone.

About the studio

Skip Atelier is an offline practice journal. It does not plan a trip, name a body of water, or promise a catch. It keeps a record of dry-ground tosses through a slot you set yourself.

A sitting starts on an open card. You choose a clean-pass goal from 4 to 16, and a wrist focus or a path focus. Each toss is marked by you:

Clean means the toss passed the gap with no touch. Clip means it touched an edge and still went through. Stall means it stopped short or rose into the obstacle. Marks stop at the goal, or at 24 tosses. There is no timer.

A clear sitting — the clean count met the goal and the sitting was saved — can open the next card. A short sitting stays in the journal and does not. The ladder is fixed: Garage Lip, Porch Slat, Two Pails, Low Bench, Shed Hatch, Picnic Plank, Stair Nose, Dock Shade. The gaps step down from 30 cm to 8 cm.

Privacy Policy

Last updated 2 October 2026. This policy is written by Owen Mitchell, the maker of Skip Atelier. It covers the app and this page.

  1. Who to write to

    Questions about this policy or the app go to Owen Mitchell at [email protected].

  2. What stays on the device

    Practice records are stored in a local ledger on the phone. I do not receive them. The ledger can hold:

    • sittings: the lane, the clean-pass goal, the wrist or path focus, and the start and end
    • marks: clean, clip, or stall, their order, and the time of each mark
    • one optional note per sitting, a single line of up to 80 characters
    • pegs: a name, an open lane, a goal, and a focus, up to 12
    • which cards are unlocked
    • settings for the mark sound, the menu tone, and quiet motion
    • whether the intro has been seen

  3. Device identifier for crash analytics and personal analytics

    Skip Atelier records a device identifier — a random value generated on the phone the first time the app is opened. It is not your name, your Apple ID, or an advertising identifier, and it is not shared with other apps.

    The device identifier is used for two purposes:

    • Crash analytics. If the app stops unexpectedly, a crash report is sent so I can see which build broke and fix it. The device identifier lets me tell one phone's repeated crashes apart from many separate phones, so a single device does not look like a widespread outage.
    • Personal analytics. Anonymous usage events — such as a sitting started, a card unlocked, or a setting toggled — are tied to the same device identifier so the history for one phone stays coherent over time. The identifier is not linked to a real-world identity.

    Resetting the device identifier is possible by using Reset All Data in Settings or by reinstalling the app. After a reset the previous history can no longer be matched to this phone.

  4. What the app does not collect

    Skip Atelier does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, or health information. There is no account, no sign-in, no advertising, and no purchase.

  5. Notifications

    If you allow notifications, the app registers this device for push messages. That registration can include a push token and a technical device identifier. It does not include sittings, notes, pegs, or settings. You can turn notifications off in the system Settings.

  6. Sharing is your choice

    If you share a sitting, the app builds a text from that record and hands it to the system share sheet. You choose where it goes. If you do not share, the text does not leave the phone.

  7. This About page

    Opening About app loads this page over HTTPS from develux.online. That request does not include your sittings, notes, pegs, or settings. Like most websites, the host may keep ordinary server logs — such as an IP address, the date, and the browser type — to operate and protect the site. Those logs are not joined to a practice journal, because the journal is not sent.

  8. Children

    Skip Atelier is a practice journal for a general audience. It is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

  9. Reset and how long data lasts

    Reset All Data in Settings removes sittings, notes, pegs, unlocks, and the intro flag from this device. The removal cannot be undone. There is no copy on a server to delete. Uninstalling the app removes the local store with the app.

  10. Changes

    If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will change. The app continues to open this same address.

Contact

I made Skip Atelier as a quiet land studio. If a record looks wrong, or you have a question about privacy, write to me.
