Privacy Policy

The short version

Timex never sends your activity to a server. There is no account system. There is no telemetry. Your activity data is recorded into a single SQLite file at ~/Library/Application Support/io.muvon.timex/timex.sqlite and stays there. We never see it.

What Timex stores locally

• The bundle id and name of the frontmost app
• The title of the focused window (Accessibility permission)
• The active tab URL of supported browsers (the same Accessibility permission)
• Start time, end time, and computed duration for each segment

What we never collect

• Audio, screenshots, keystrokes, mouse positions, clipboard contents
• Any in-app usage analytics, crash reports, or diagnostic telemetry
• Email addresses, names, or any account credentials — we don't have an account system

License validation

If you activate a license key, Timex contacts gettimex.app to validate it on activation and about once a week after that. The request contains only your license key, a device identifier, and the Timex major version — no activity data. Deactivating a Mac sends the same key and device identifier to free its slot. If Timex can't reach the server, it keeps your license and tries again later.

Update checks

Once a day, the direct-download version of Timex (from gettimex.app or Homebrew) checks gettimex.app for a new version. That request contains no personal content, only the Timex version. You can turn update checks off in Settings. The Mac App Store version makes no such check: the App Store updates it.

Verifying it for yourself

Block Timex at the firewall (Little Snitch, LuLu, or your Mac's Application Firewall). The app continues to work indistinguishably; it only stops hearing about new versions and re-checking its license, and your license stays active. There is no fallback path, no retry queue, no "phone home" with your data.

Your data, your file

The database is a plain SQLite file. Open it with any SQLite client. Copy it. Move it. Put it in a folder synced by iCloud or Dropbox at your own discretion. Delete it any time:

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/io.muvon.timex

This website

Everything above is about the Timex app. This website, gettimex.app, is separate: after you first interact with a page (or after 12 seconds), it loads Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion tracking, the X (Twitter) ads pixel, and Rewardful for affiliate referrals. They set cookies and see your IP address, browser, and the pages you visit here, never anything from the app. Purchases are processed by Stripe. A content blocker stops all of them; the site and the app keep working.
