Your reminders are
nobody's business
but yours.

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.

We do not capture, record, or access your screen content. Timie contains no screen recording functionality and never requests the macOS Screen Recording permission.

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 the two narrowest read-only permissions Google offers for what it does: calendar.events.readonly, to read your upcoming events so it can remind you before they start, and calendar.calendarlist.readonly, to list your calendars so you can choose which ones create reminders. Timie never creates, edits, or deletes events or calendars.

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.

How your data is protected

Timie has no backend servers. Your calendar data and reminders are processed and stored exclusively on your own Mac — Claremont Labs never receives, stores, or has access to them. There is no server-side copy anywhere.

All communication with Google's APIs happens over encrypted HTTPS (TLS) connections, and Timie talks only to Google's official endpoints. Your Google sign-in token is stored in the macOS Keychain, where it is encrypted at rest by the operating system and inaccessible to other apps.

The app runs fully sandboxed under macOS App Sandbox (a Mac App Store requirement), so cached calendar data lives inside Timie's protected app container, guarded by macOS file permissions — and encrypted at rest whenever FileVault is enabled.

Cached calendar data is kept only for the look-ahead window you configure (from 24 hours up to 30 days) and is refreshed or discarded on every sync. Disconnecting your account in Settings → Calendar revokes the token and deletes all cached calendar data immediately; uninstalling Timie removes everything it stored. You can also revoke Timie's access yourself at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

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.
