# Warmr FAQ: warmup, bans, setup, and billing questions

> Answers to the most common questions about warmup, ban risk, proxies, data privacy, and getting started with Warmr's plans and billing.

Whether you're evaluating Warmr for the first time or troubleshooting an edge case, the answers below cover the questions that come up most often: from how warmup works on brand-new accounts, to where your data lives, to what Warmr won't do. If you don't find what you need here, reach out at [hi@warmr.so](mailto:hi@warmr.so).

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I have a brand-new account. Will it get banned if I start posting?">
    Warmr won't let a fresh account post on day one. Instead, it phases the account in gradually over several days: scrolling, liking, following, and searching just like a real user would. Only after the account has matured through that warmup sequence does Warmr bring it into the posting rotation. From that point on, Warmr keeps the account warm with daily activity before every post, so it never looks like a bot that only wakes up to publish.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will my accounts stay healthy over time?">
    No tool can guarantee outcomes. Platform algorithms change, and enforcement is unpredictable. What Warmr controls is on your side: real iPhones, human-like taps and timing, and a warmup phase before every post. What you control is equally important: give each iPhone its own dedicated IP and keep your posting cadence sane. Stacking multiple phones on a single home IP is one of the fastest paths to flags, regardless of how well the on-device behavior is tuned.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when an app changes its layout?">
    Warmr reads from real screenshots rather than injecting into apps or relying on fixed coordinates. When TikTok, Instagram, X, or LinkedIn changes its UI, Warmr's team ships a patch within 24–48 hours. Your Mac app pulls the patch automatically on its next check-in. You don't rebuild anything, reconfigure anything, or even restart the app manually.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if a device hangs mid-upload?">
    Warmr monitors every upload in progress. If it detects a stall, it restarts the iPhone-side process and resumes from the same account. It does not start a new post. State is checkpointed to disk throughout the process, so there's no double-posting even if your Mac loses power or reboots mid-session. When the Mac comes back up, Warmr picks up exactly where it left off.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need proxies? Will my accounts get banned?">
    Bans come from network identity as much as on-device behavior. Running multiple iPhones over a single home IP address is one of the fastest ways to get flagged. Platforms see the shared origin even when the taps look human. Warmr handles the on-device behavior side; you handle the network side by giving each iPhone its own dedicated IP: an ISP or residential proxy, a 4G proxy, or a dedicated SIM. The exact proxy setup that works best for your configuration is something we walk through with you on a setup call.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where does my data live?">
    Your data lives on the Mac you own, on your own network. Accounts, devices, and activity logs are stored locally and never sent to Warmr's servers. Cloud Drop is the one exception: it queues media uploads so you can post from anywhere. But even then, your credentials and source files never leave your home network. Only the queued media moves through Cloud Drop, and only long enough to hand it off to the device.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who is Warmr for?">
    Warmr is built for solo founders, indie operators, and one-person growth teams who need to post to TikTok and Instagram at scale while keeping X and LinkedIn warm, without hiring a team to do it. If you'd rather plug in three iPhones and let software handle the grind than manage three virtual assistants, Warmr is for you.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does Warmr NOT do?">
    Warmr does not buy or sell accounts, scrape inboxes, touch unofficial or private APIs, or break platform rules. Every action Warmr takes happens on real devices you own, through the same app interfaces a human would use. Warmr paces, runs, and logs every action. Nothing more.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I get access?">
    Start free for 7 days with no credit card required. Go to [app.warmr.so/signup](https://app.warmr.so/signup), sign in with Google, and your license key is ready in seconds. Download the Mac app, paste your key on the activation screen, and your first warmup session runs in under 10 minutes.
