Frequently asked questions

A native Apple app (iPhone, iPad, Mac) that calls the Cloudflare API on your behalf to list zones and purge caches. It is a client for your own Cloudflare account — we do not host anything for you.

Yes. 100% free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription, no premium tier. We might add optional pro features in the future, but the purge flow will always be free.

Yes. FlarePurge does not replace Cloudflare; it talks to your Cloudflare account via the official public API. You need at least one zone on a Cloudflare plan (Free, Pro, Business or Enterprise — all supported).

Universal Apple app: iPhone on iOS 17 or later, iPad on iPadOS 17 or later, Mac on macOS 13 Ventura or later. One purchase (free) covers all your Apple devices.

No — FlarePurge only accepts scoped API tokens, which is the modern and safer method. A Global API Key would give the app full admin access to your account; we would rather not ask for that.

At minimum: Zone:Zone:Read (to list your zones) and Zone:Cache Purge:Purge (to clear caches). Optionally Account:Read if you want the app to group zones by account name. That's it — no DNS, no WAF, no SSL scopes.

It supports exact URL purge and hostname purge, which is what the public Cloudflare API offers on Free and Pro plans. Tag and prefix purge are Enterprise-only Cloudflare features and fall outside this app's scope.

Yes. You can purge all your favorites at once, or purge every zone of an entire Cloudflare account with one confirm. Both operations respect Cloudflare's rate limits and are serialised with a small concurrency cap.

In the system Keychain, inside an App Group shared between the app and any future extension. By default the entry is device-only. You can opt in to iCloud Keychain sync in Settings.

No. There is no third-party SDK bundled with the app. No Firebase, no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no crash reporter, no advertising network. FlarePurge never phones home.

Only to api.cloudflare.com, over TLS 1.2+ with certificate pinning (SPKI SHA-256 hashes of Cloudflare's public cert). There is no Color Vivo backend; we never proxy your traffic.

Only the list of zone IDs you have marked as favorite, in your own private CloudKit database. We have zero visibility into that container — it belongs to you and can be wiped at any time from your Apple ID settings.

None that would surprise you. No contacts, no photos, no location, no microphone. It needs network access (obviously) and Keychain for secure token storage. On Mac there is an optional menu bar integration; you can disable it.

The zone list is cached locally, so the app paints instantly on launch and you can browse without a connection. Anything that hits Cloudflare (purge, verify token) obviously requires internet.

Not in 1.x. We may add a Home Screen widget and an AppIntent for Siri / Shortcuts in a future release, so you can say “Hey Siri, purge example.com”.

Write to support@flarepurge.com. We read every email. Include your device model, OS version, and — if relevant — the Cloudflare account tier (Free / Pro / Business / Enterprise).
