Privacy notice
Two different things share one name, and they deserve separate answers: the app on your Mac, and this website.
Last updated: August 2026
The app: your data stays with you
This is the part the product is built around, and it is unqualified.
- ✓ Your tasks, blocks, notes, templates and attachments live on your Mac.
- ✓ With iCloud sync on, they are mirrored into your own private iCloud account. That is Apple’s infrastructure and your storage — Focusly has no server holding it and cannot read it.
- ✓ Turning iCloud off keeps everything on that one Mac. Nothing is deleted either way.
What the app does send
Licence checks
When you activate or periodically re-validate a licence, the app sends your licence key and an anonymous machine identifier to api.focusly.app so we can enforce the device limit. No task content is involved.
Usage analytics — off unless you turn it on
If you opt in under Settings → Privacy, the app reports which features are used, which integrations are connected, crash-free session counts, and your app and macOS versions. It does not send task titles or content, names, email addresses, account details, location or IP address.
Integrations you connect
When you link Google Calendar, Slack, Jira or any other integration, the app talks to that service directly from your Mac using credentials stored in your Keychain. Those requests do not pass through us.
This website
focusly.app is an ordinary website and uses ordinary third parties. It would be easy to leave this section out and let the paragraph above imply otherwise, so here it is in full.
Google Analytics
Page views and two conversion events — a download click and a checkout start — so we can see which pages actually lead somewhere.
Off until you accept the banner. Declining still lets us count visits in aggregate, without cookies and without anything tied to you. IP addresses are shortened and Google’s advertising signals are switched off.
Cloudflare
Serves this website and absorbs abuse.
Standard server logs, including IP address, as any web host keeps.
Cloudflare Turnstile
Checks that the contact form is being used by a person.
Necessary for the form to work, so it runs without a consent prompt.
You can change your mind at any time: , or use the “Cookie choices” link in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent also deletes the analytics cookies already set.
Fonts on this site are served from focusly.app rather than a font CDN, so loading a page does not hand your IP address to a third party before you have decided anything.
If you buy a licence
Buying means we hold a small amount about you — enough to give you your licence key back if you lose it, and nothing more.
Stripe
Takes the payment.
Card details go to Stripe and never reach us. We see your email address, what you bought and whether it succeeded.
Supabase
Stores your order, your licence keys and the account you use to retrieve them.
Email address, order history, licence keys and their activations. No task content, ever.
Resend
Sends your licence key, receipts and replies to the contact form.
Email address and the contents of the message.
Your rights, and what we never do
- —Ask for a copy of what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it. Email us and we will.
- —We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone beyond the services listed on this page.
- —We do not run advertising, build audiences, or use your data to target you anywhere.
- —Your tasks are never sent to us. There is no Focusly database containing your schedule.
Questions, or a request about your data: support@updates.focusly.app, or use the contact form.
