today-md is a local-first macOS application developed by Arthur Liebhardt ("today-md," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the today-md application.
1. Summary
today-md does not require an account and does not include advertising, tracking, telemetry, or third-party analytics SDKs. We do not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or share your tasks, notes, calendar information, or other personal data through the app.
Your data stays on your Mac unless you choose to export it or place it in a folder managed by a third-party sync provider.
2. Information stored on your Mac
today-md stores the information you create in the app, including tasks, subtasks, lists, Markdown notes, settings, and feature configuration, locally on your Mac. The app uses a local SQLite database and may create local Markdown mirrors and backups.
We do not have access to this information.
3. Optional folder sync
If you enable folder sync, today-md reads and writes app data only in the folder you select. The app stores a security-scoped bookmark on your Mac so it can continue accessing that folder with your permission.
If the selected folder is managed by iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or another provider, that provider may process or store the files under its own privacy policy and terms. We do not control those providers or receive a copy of your files.
4. Optional Calendar access
If you enable Calendar integration and grant permission, today-md uses Apple's EventKit framework to read calendar events, display availability, and create time blocks at your direction. Calendar data is processed on your Mac and is not sent to us.
You can change or revoke Calendar access at any time in macOS System Settings.
5. Purchases
Purchases are processed by Apple through the Mac App Store and StoreKit. Apple may process information such as your Apple Account, payment details, purchase history, and region under Apple's Privacy Policy .
today-md receives product and transaction information needed to determine whether Pro features are unlocked. We do not receive your full payment-card or bank-account details.
6. Support and GitHub
If you contact us or open a support request on GitHub, you choose what information to provide. GitHub processes that information under its own privacy terms, and information posted in a public issue may be visible to others. Please do not include sensitive task, note, calendar, or payment information in a public issue.
7. Data retention and deletion
Because we do not receive your app data, we do not retain it on developer-operated servers.
You control local data and may:
- delete tasks, notes, and lists in today-md;
- disable folder sync in Settings;
- revoke Calendar permission in macOS System Settings;
- delete exported backups or synced files using Finder; and
- uninstall today-md and delete its app container or Application Support data.
Deleting local files does not necessarily delete copies already stored by a sync or backup provider. Consult that provider for its deletion and retention controls.
8. Security
today-md uses the macOS app sandbox for its Mac App Store distribution and requests access only to features and files needed for the functions you choose. No storage method is completely secure, so you are responsible for protecting access to your Mac, backups, and selected sync accounts.
9. Children's privacy
today-md is a general-purpose productivity app and is not directed to children. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users.
10. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning personal data held by a business. We generally cannot access, correct, export, or delete data stored only on your device because we do not possess it. You can use the controls described above to manage that data directly.
For information voluntarily provided in a support request, contact us using the method below.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if today-md's features, data practices, or legal obligations change. We will update the date at the top of this document and, when appropriate, provide notice through the app, its distribution page, or the project repository.
