The Companion is a focus timer that runs entirely on your device. This policy explains, plainly, what that means for your data — which is short, because we don't collect any of it.
When you use The Companion, the app stores the following directly on your device, using Apple's on-device SwiftData framework:
None of this ever leaves your device. It is not synced to a server, not backed up to any service we operate (we don't operate one), and not visible to us in any form.
The Companion includes a home screen widget and a Live Activity (the Dynamic Island / lock screen timer). For these to show your current session, the app and the widget extension share a small amount of session state — the current task name and the timer's end time — using Apple's App Group storage (UserDefaults, scoped to an App Group shared only between The Companion and its own widget extension). This is standard local, on-device communication between parts of the same app; nothing is sent off your device.
The Companion schedules local notifications (for example, to let you know when a focus session has ended) using Apple's on-device notification framework. These are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device — no push notification service or external server is involved.
The Companion does not use any third-party SDKs, analytics tools, advertising networks, or tracking technologies. The app does not link your activity to your identity, does not track you across other apps or websites, and has no ad identifiers or tracking pixels of any kind.
