The DueHalo app
The app collects nothing and has no analytics. Your reminders are read from Apple Reminders on your Mac and stay there. Its only network call is the update check, which asks GitHub whether the public DueHalo releases page has a newer version. If you choose to install an update, the app downloads it from there. You can turn the update check off in Settings.
The source code is private while DueHalo is in beta. Everything in the official builds follows the same rule: it runs on your Mac and sends nothing anywhere.
This website
The site counts visits with Umami, which sets no cookies and stores no personal data: page views, the referring site and country, and a few anonymous clicks (downloads, links to GitHub, the waitlist form being started and sent). No fingerprinting, no ads, no selling. If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, the counter doesn't load at all. The counter is on. The numbers stay private to the maker.
The live halo on the waitlist page runs entirely in your browser. The task you type and its deadline are saved only in your browser's local storage and are never sent anywhere.
The waitlist
When you join, your email and your optional answer to "what do you procrastinate on most?" are stored with Netlify Forms, the service that hosts this site, and in a private Google Sheet that only Tanishq can open. Along with them we keep where you came from (for example a LinkedIn post link) and the time you joined. Like any web host, Netlify may also record technical details such as your IP address and browser. We use your email only to send launch emails, and every email has an unsubscribe link. We never sell or share it.
Want your entry deleted? Email iamtanishqsaria@gmail.com, or message Tanishq on LinkedIn, and we'll remove it.
