Privacy Policy

Técnico · Last updated August 6, 2026

Técnico has no account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no server of its own. Everything the app knows about you is either on your device or in your own iCloud account. The developer cannot see any of it, and there is nowhere else for it to go.

What stays on your device

All of the following is stored on your Mac and iPhone, in the app's own storage and a shared container used by its widget:

iCloud

If you are signed in to iCloud, Técnico syncs the list above between your own devices using CloudKit's private database. That means it leaves your device — but it goes to your iCloud account, in the same way your Notes and Reminders do.

A CloudKit private database is not readable by the developer. There is no dashboard, no export, and no administrative access to it: Apple does not provide app developers a way to see what is in a user's private database, only aggregate counts of how many records exist. Nothing is copied anywhere else on the way through.

iCloud syncing is governed by Apple's privacy policy, at apple.com/legal/privacy. Signing out of iCloud, or turning iCloud Drive off for Técnico in Settings, leaves the app working normally with everything held on the device only.

Your calendar

Calendar access is optional, and it is read only. If you grant it, the app reads your events for the days it is showing so that the open time it offers you is real time and not time you have already promised to someone else.

Técnico never creates, edits or deletes a calendar event. Nothing it reads from your calendar is transmitted anywhere, and event details are not written into its own storage — they are read when a day is drawn and discarded when you leave it. Declining calendar access costs you nothing but the meetings on the timeline.

On-device intelligence

When you type a task, the app can suggest a category for it and break it into steps. On devices that support Apple Intelligence this uses Apple's on-device foundation model — your text is handled by the chip in your device and is not sent to Apple, to Private Cloud Compute, or to anyone else. On devices that don't, or with Apple Intelligence turned off, a small keyword table built into the app does the same job, less well.

Notifications

Alerts about your blocks are local notifications, scheduled on your own device by the app itself. No notification you receive has passed through anyone else's computer, and their contents never leave your device.

The app does register for remote notifications, but only so that iCloud can tell it another of your devices has changed something. Those messages come from Apple's sync infrastructure, carry none of your content, and are never displayed.

What the app collects, in Apple's terms

DataPurposeLinked to youUsed to track you
None.

No contact info, no identifiers, no usage data, no diagnostics, no location, no crash reports. Data stored in your own iCloud account is not collected by the developer, because the developer has no access to it.

Third parties

The app contains no third-party SDKs, no analytics libraries and no advertising networks. It has no networking code of its own at all. The only external service it uses is Apple's iCloud, on your behalf and into your own account.

Children

The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
