Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 7, 2026
Introduction
meOwgenda ("we", "our", or "the app") is a to-do list application with optional AI-assisted task entry. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.
meOwgenda is designed to work entirely offline. Internet access, camera, microphone, calendar, and location access are only used if you choose to enable optional features, and are never required for core functionality.
Information We Collect
meOwgenda is designed with minimal data collection in mind:
- Task data: The tasks, notes, due dates, and categories you create are stored locally on your device. On Apple devices, if you enable iCloud sync, your data is also stored in your private iCloud account to keep it in sync across your Apple devices.
- No account required: We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number to use the app.
- No analytics or tracking: We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising frameworks, or tracking tools.
Data Storage & Sync
Your task data is stored locally on your device. On Apple devices (iOS/macOS), if you choose to enable iCloud sync, your data is also stored in your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit service. This allows you to sync tasks across your Apple devices. This data is stored in your private iCloud container — we cannot access it. iCloud data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
On Android, your data is stored locally on your device only.
We do not operate any external servers. Outside of optional iCloud sync, optional cloud AI processing, and optional weather lookups (each described below), no data leaves your device. Your data stays under your control at all times.
Camera & Microphone Access
meOwgenda's AI-assisted task entry feature may request access to your device's camera and microphone:
- Microphone: Used to capture spoken input, which is converted to text using on-device speech-to-text processing. Audio is processed in real time and is not stored or recorded by the app.
- Camera: Used to capture images of appointment cards, calendar invites, or other scheduling information. Images are processed to extract task details and are not stored beyond the active processing session.
Camera and microphone access is only used when you actively initiate the AI task entry feature. You can revoke these permissions at any time through your device's settings.
Calendar Access
meOwgenda offers an optional Calendar Sync feature that lets you see your calendar events alongside your tasks. This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in the app's Settings, at which point iOS will prompt you for calendar access.
- Read-only: The app uses Apple's EventKit framework to read events from your device calendars. It never creates, modifies, or deletes any events in your calendar.
- User-controlled scope: After granting permission, you choose exactly which of your calendars to include. You can change this selection or disable the feature at any time. Disabling Calendar Sync removes all calendar-sourced entries from the app.
- On-device only: Calendar events are read into the app's local database and displayed as read-only entries in your task list. Calendar data is never transmitted off the device, never sent to any server, and never shared with third parties, including us.
- Limited time window: Only events within the next 7 days from the selected calendars are synced. Older items are automatically removed from the local database.
- Sync triggers: Syncs happen when the app opens, when it returns to the foreground, and when iOS notifies the app that calendar contents have changed. There is no background sync, no cloud sync, and no polling.
Calendar data is used solely to render your own events within your own device, next to your own tasks. meOwgenda does not collect, store, transmit, analyze, sell, or share calendar data with any party.
Location & Weather
meOwgenda offers an optional Rain / Snow Events feature that adds a timed heads-up to your list before precipitation is expected in your area. This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in the app's Settings, at which point your device will prompt you for location access.
- Used only for forecasts: When enabled, your device's approximate location is used with Apple's WeatherKit service to retrieve the local forecast. It is used for no other purpose.
- Sent only to Apple Weather: Your location is provided to Apple's weather service solely to return the forecast for that area in real time. We operate no servers and never receive, store, or have access to your location. It is not linked to your identity and is never used for tracking or advertising.
- On-device cache: Your most recent approximate location may be stored locally on your device so the forecast can refresh in the background without re-prompting. This cached location never leaves your device.
- You're in control: You can disable Rain / Snow Events or revoke location access at any time in your device's settings. Forecast data provided by Apple Weather is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
On-Device Processing
Voice input is always transcribed on your device — raw audio never leaves it in any mode. When cloud processing is turned off (or unavailable), AI-assisted task entry runs entirely on-device and no voice data, images, or task content leaves your device.
Optional Cloud AI Processing
AI Assist can use cloud processing for the best task-parsing results. No account or API key is needed. When cloud processing is enabled:
- Text transcripts (produced by on-device speech-to-text) or captured images are sent to a processing endpoint we operate on Amazon Web Services (AWS), where an AI model extracts a task entry. Raw audio is never sent.
- Processing is transient: your content is relayed to the AI model, the task result is returned to your device, and the content is immediately discarded. We do not store or log the content you send, and it is not used to train any AI model.
- Requests are authenticated with Apple's App Attest, which verifies a genuine copy of meOwgenda without identifying you personally. We do not create user accounts or usage profiles.
- Usage is rate-limited per device per day to keep the service healthy for everyone.
You can turn cloud processing off at any time in the app's settings; task parsing then runs entirely on-device.
Third-Party Services
Other than the optional cloud AI processing described above, meOwgenda does not integrate with or share data with any third-party services, advertisers, or data brokers.
Children's Privacy
meOwgenda does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. The app does not require any personal data to function.
Data Deletion
You can delete all local app data at any time by deleting the app. On Apple devices, if you use iCloud sync, you can manage or delete your iCloud data through your device's Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage. We do not retain any copy of your data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
