Privacy Policy
Spoon Manager is designed to be private by default. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information.
The short version
Spoon Manager does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. Spoon Manager has no server of its own — everything you enter stays on your device. The app works offline; the only time it connects to the internet is an optional integration you choose to turn on (see Optional Google Calendar), and even then your data is not sent to us.
What we collect
Nothing. Spoon Manager has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking SDKs. Spoon Manager operates no server that could receive your data. The app makes network requests only for the optional Google Calendar connection described below, and only if you enable it.
Data you create
To-dos, habits, routines, and journal entries (including a daily mood) are stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device storage (SwiftData). This data is included in your device's standard encrypted backups (iCloud or iTunes/Finder) only if you have those backups enabled — that backup is managed by Apple, not by Spoon Manager.
Device permissions
Spoon Manager requests the following permissions only when you use the related feature, and the resulting data never leaves your device:
- Microphone & Speech Recognition — used for on-device voice capture of tasks. Audio is processed on your device and is not uploaded.
- Calendar — read-only access to display your existing events alongside your day notes. Spoon Manager never creates, edits, or deletes calendar events.
- Notifications — used only to deliver reminders you opt into (tasks, habits, and routines) and a gentle daily journal prompt.
You can revoke any of these permissions at any time in the iOS Settings app.
Optional: Google Calendar
Spoon Manager offers an optional Google Calendar connection, which is off unless you turn it on in Settings. If you connect it, Spoon Manager signs you in to Google directly (using Google's standard OAuth flow) and requests read-only access to your calendar events. Those events are fetched directly from Google to your device and displayed alongside your day — they are never sent to Spoon Manager, because Spoon Manager has no server. Your Google sign-in tokens are stored securely in the iOS Keychain on your device. Spoon Manager never creates, edits, or deletes Google Calendar events, and you can disconnect at any time in Settings, which removes the stored tokens. Google's handling of your data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Children's privacy
Spoon Manager does not collect data from anyone, including children.
