So I don't actually have a server behind the app at all, no account is needed besides your default iCloud account using apples core data to persist data offline on your device (you don't need to provide credentials as everything is managed by Apple and never goes to me.). I don't collect any crash data at all. I also won't be tracking anything in the app itself.

I'm going to add a section above the privacy policy with a bit of this info whilst I work on writing a better one.

I may build a web version in the future, however it will be opt in only if you have signed up via an iCloud method. I believe it is actually possible to use iCloud on the web, as apple do have a Javascript API, however I have not looked into this in detail.

I bet people as principled snd heavy with their convictions on privacy as the parent commentor is...is such a small portion of people that it won’t do too much to go over the top to accommodate them when you aren’t trying to do some crazy shenanigans any way.

The other problem with certain niches of people on Reddit, HN, etc, are that they don’t spend much money either. So they have lots of fringe requirements but scoff at paying $5 a month. Meanwhile, in the coworking community I run that has people from all sorts of backgrounds, they’re much different than HN or Reddit tech geek crowd. If something helps them. They’ll spend some money. They don’t despise subscriptions etc.

Okay, thank you.

I know it was a bit of a rant.

Opt-in would work! I’ll share the link. I have a few people I think would like it.

Appreciate you replying.
