Information Timie collects
Almost none. Timie is designed to work entirely on your device. We do not collect, request, or require your name, email, contacts, or any other personal information to use the app.
The reminders you create — their text, times, and repeat schedules — along with your app preferences are stored locally on your Mac using Apple's standard on-device storage. This information never leaves your device through Timie and is never transmitted to Claremont Labs or any third party.
The one optional exception is Google Calendar, which you can choose to connect — described in the next section.
Google Calendar (optional)
Connecting Google Calendar is entirely optional — Timie works fully without it. If you choose to connect, Timie requests read-only access to your calendars and events (the calendar.readonly and calendar.events.readonly scopes). Timie never creates, edits, or deletes events.
Your calendar data is used for a single purpose: to show upcoming events and remind you before they start. Event details are fetched directly from Google to your Mac and cached locally on your device only. They are never sent to Claremont Labs, stored on our servers, or shared with any third party.
Your Google sign-in token is stored securely in the macOS Keychain. You can disconnect at any time in Settings → Calendar, which revokes Timie's access and deletes the cached event data from your Mac.
Timie's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not transfer or use Google user data for advertising, and we do not allow humans to read it.
Reminders & notifications
When a reminder is due, Timie shows you a notification using macOS's built-in notification system. The content of your reminders is handled locally by your Mac so the right alert appears at the right time. Apple processes system notifications under its own privacy terms; Claremont Labs does not receive a copy.
Analytics & tracking
Timie does not include third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking software. We don't build a profile of you, we don't follow you across apps or the web, and there are no hidden trackers in the app. We simply don't want that data.
Diagnostics & support
If macOS asks whether you'd like to share crash and usage diagnostics with developers, and you choose to, Apple may share anonymized crash reports with us through App Store Connect. These reports help us fix bugs and never contain the content of your reminders. This is entirely optional and controlled by you in your system settings.
If you email us for support, we'll have whatever information you choose to include in your message. We use it only to help you and don't add you to any list.
Sharing your information
We don't sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with anyone — because we don't collect it in the first place. There is no data to hand over to advertisers, data brokers, or partners.
Your control & data retention
Because your data lives on your Mac, you're in control of it. You can delete any reminder inside the app at any time, and disconnect Google Calendar whenever you like to revoke access and clear cached events. Deleting Timie from your Mac removes its locally stored reminders, settings, and any cached calendar data along with it. We hold no server-side copy to delete on your behalf.
Children's privacy
Timie is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children under 13. Since the app doesn't collect personal information from anyone, it doesn't knowingly collect it from children either.
Changes to this policy
If we ever update Timie in a way that affects your privacy, we'll revise this policy and update the effective date above. If a change is significant, we'll do our best to make it clearly visible in the app or on this page.
