Privacy policy
Daywright is a personal planning app developed by Jason Grant. This policy describes the Apple edition for iPhone, iPad, and its paired Apple Watch companion. An Android edition is in development; its platform-specific privacy information will be published before public availability. It stores a task database on your device and helps you plan around calendars you choose. The latest beta adds optional iCloud sync, a paired Apple Watch companion, saved places, and nearby to-dos. You do not create a separate Daywright account. This policy describes those features alongside Google Calendar, subscriptions, Siri, Shortcuts, widgets, and Live Activities.
Optional iCloud sync
Sync is off by default and requires confirmation in Settings. When enabled, the app sends its selected records to your private iCloud database using Apple CloudKit. Data content is stored in CloudKit encrypted fields; record identifiers, revision and device-author identifiers, change timestamps, and deletion markers support synchronization.
Sync runs when the app opens, after saved changes while open, or when you choose Sync now. Offline changes wait locally. The app can retain conflicting versions for you to review. It pauses sync if the iCloud account changes. Turning sync off does not delete records already stored in iCloud. Apple’s privacy practices apply to iCloud processing.
Daywright syncs tasks, including titles, notes, estimates, schedules, repeats, progress, waiting details, and saved places, plus planning start and end hours and the commitment buffer. Device-calendar and Google event data, provider credentials, calendar selections, calendar-derived conflict identifiers, current location, permissions, and device-specific preferences are not included.
Daywright and Daywright: Shift use separate private iCloud databases. Enabling sync in one does not connect their task lists or sync information into the other app.
Saved places, nearby to-dos, and arrival reminders
A saved place contains its name, address, coordinates, arrival radius, and arrival-reminder choice. It is stored with the to-do and can be included in optional iCloud sync. Place search uses Apple Maps only when you submit a search; your search text is sent to Apple. You can enter coordinates manually without searching.
With location permission, the app requests a current location to find nearby saved to-dos. It can refresh that location when you open the app or Nearby, or choose Refresh location. The current coordinate is kept temporarily in memory, is not written into the task database or sent to iCloud, and is not used to build a location history. Device permissions stay on that device.
Arrival reminders are optional for each to-do and require location and notification permissions. The app gives the operating system the saved place coordinates, radius, and a task identifier so it can deliver a local alert and reopen the task. Alert text says “Nearby to-do available” and excludes the task title and address. Arrival reminders do not require continuous location tracking by the app; the operating system determines delivery. You can remove the place, disable its arrival reminder, or change permissions in system settings.
Apple Watch
The paired phone sends a limited snapshot to the Watch through Apple WatchConnectivity. It includes task identifiers, titles, completion state, available task times, and freshness information. Nearby entries are selected using the phone’s recent location; the Watch does not receive the phone’s coordinates or saved-place addresses in this snapshot. Task notes and calendar-provider records are not included.
Captured titles and completion or undo requests are saved in a protected Watch queue until the phone confirms or rejects them. Captures become drafts on the phone and need an estimate and your save action before becoming to-dos. Device-local drafts, pending commands, and delivery receipts are not included in iCloud task sync.
Task titles can appear in the Watch app and the Next watch-face summary. The Watch app shares its snapshot with its own watch-face extension. The phone widget and Live Activity privacy switches do not hide Watch content. Apple controls connectivity and display timing; stale content and pending actions are identified in the companion.
Older saved details
Daywright no longer provides the older separate fields for lists, requirements, people, phone numbers, addresses, phone-only context, next steps or website links. The new saved Place field for nearby to-dos is separate from those retired address fields. Older next-step and repeat-step text and website URLs are moved into Notes. Older list, requirement, person, phone-number, address and phone-only fields are not used and are removed from the local task file on its next successful save. Opening the app without a successful save does not itself rewrite those fields.
Calendars on your device
With your permission, Daywright reads calendars available through iOS or iPadOS so it can display commitments and find time for tasks. Although Apple calls this permission “full access,” Daywright does not create, change or delete source calendar events. Task placements remain in Daywright. The calendar accounts connected through iOS or iPadOS continue to follow their providers’ own privacy practices.
Optional Google Calendar connection
If you connect Google directly, your device communicates with Google to sign in, identify the selected account by its account identifier and email address, list calendars, and read events from the calendars you select. Access is read-only. Google handles your sign-in; Daywright does not receive your Google password.
Authorization tokens are stored in device-only Keychain storage on this device. Account information, calendar names, and event titles, times and calendar details from selected calendars for the past 14 days, today, and the next 30 days are stored locally with iOS file protection and excluded from backups. Daywright does not save Google event descriptions, attendee lists or attachments. It reads only your own attendee response when Google supplies one, so declined events can be left out.
Google information is used to show your calendar and plan around commitments. It is not sent to a Daywright server, sold, used for advertising or used to train AI models. This use follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Use Disconnect in Daywright’s calendar settings to remove a Google connection, its saved events and local sign-in credentials. If cleanup is interrupted, the app hides the connection and asks you to retry. You can also revoke Daywright’s access through your Google Account. Disconnect before deleting the app to clear its local Google credentials.
How we protect Google data
Daywright uses encryption and Apple platform access controls to protect sensitive Google user data, including account information, calendar events, and authorization tokens:
- Encrypted connections. Google sign-in, token exchange, and calendar requests use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit between your device and Google. Daywright does not receive your Google password.
- Protected sign-in credentials. Access and refresh tokens are stored in Apple’s Keychain with access restricted to when the device is unlocked. These credentials are marked for this device only and are not synchronized through iCloud Keychain.
- Encrypted local calendar storage. Saved Google account information, calendar names, and event snapshots use Apple’s complete file protection to encrypt the files on your device and restrict access while it is locked. The dedicated cache and its temporary files are excluded from device backups. Google API responses are not saved in a persistent network cache.
- Limited access and retention. Daywright requests read-only calendar permissions, reads events from calendars you select, and keeps the bounded local cache described above. Google calendar data and credentials are excluded from Daywright’s optional iCloud task sync. Disconnect removes the local Google connection and credentials as described above.
Daywright does not transmit Google calendar data or tokens to a developer-operated server. If you choose to use Siri or Shortcuts with calendar events, the separate Siri and Shortcuts disclosure below explains the information made available to those Apple features.
URLs in notes
URLs pasted or shared into a task remain text in Notes. Daywright does not fetch those pages. Optional location access for nearby to-dos is described separately below.
Widgets and Live Activities
Daywright’s Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets use a protected, backup-excluded display snapshot in the app’s shared container. It can include task titles, scheduled times and estimates; it does not include task notes or calendar events. Widget task titles are shown by default. You can replace them with “Private task” in Settings; times and estimates remain visible. The system controls widget refresh timing.
A Live Activity starts only when you choose Show Live Activity during a scheduled task. It can display the scheduled time and countdown on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island and other Apple surfaces. Task titles are hidden by default and appear only if you enable them. Live Activities do not include notes or calendar events.
Siri and Shortcuts
When you run a Daywright action through Siri or Shortcuts, the information you provide and the task or calendar details returned by the action are made available to Apple’s Siri or Shortcuts and may be shown or spoken. Add a to-do accepts a title, estimate, optional deadline and notes and saves immediately by default. Turn on Review before adding to open a draft and save only after tapping Add.
Find something to do returns fitting task titles, times and estimates without scheduling them. Show today returns task details and, by default, event titles and times from included calendars; you can turn calendar-event inclusion off. Apple’s Siri settings, privacy policy and later actions in your shortcut govern how returned information is handled. Daywright does not index task content for system search. These actions require an unlocked device.
Quick Controls
On iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later, Daywright Quick Controls pass only the chosen destination and, for Free now, a duration into the app. They require local-device authentication and do not add or schedule a task until you act inside Daywright.
Subscriptions
Apple processes subscriptions and payments. Daywright uses Apple’s StoreKit information, including product, transaction, expiration and subscription-status information, to determine access and restore purchases. Daywright does not receive your payment-card details. Apple may make sales and subscription reports available to the developer. Apple’s handling of purchases and account information is described in Apple’s privacy policy.
Subscription expiry does not automatically delete your saved tasks, history or drafts. They remain readable on your device.
Notifications, diagnostics and support
If enabled, task reminders are scheduled locally through iOS or iPadOS. Their text does not include task or calendar names. Daywright includes no advertising or third-party analytics SDK and does not track you across apps or websites.
Apple may provide diagnostics according to your Apple sharing settings. For beta versions, TestFlight also handles diagnostics and feedback. If you send support email or beta feedback, the developer receives the message and any attachments you choose to include. Avoid sending private calendar, task or contact information that is unnecessary for the request. Support information is used to respond and troubleshoot; it is not used for marketing or sold.
Your choices and retention
You can choose included calendars, disconnect Google accounts, pause iCloud sync, and manage device permissions in Settings. Deletions can propagate when sync is enabled. Pausing sync or removing the app does not erase its existing iCloud records; iCloud storage and device backups are managed separately through Apple. The app does not offer a separate erase-all-cloud-data control. You can delete individual to-dos with available app controls. Retired fields in older saves are handled as described under Older saved details. Deleting the app’s data through system settings removes its current local app data. Offloading an app can preserve its data. Removing the app does not cancel an Apple subscription or necessarily remove older device backups; manage those separately with Apple.
The developer cannot remotely read, export or erase tasks stored only on your device. For support correspondence or other information you sent directly, contact the address below to request access or deletion. Correspondence is kept only as needed to handle the request, retain a necessary support record or meet applicable legal obligations.
