FocusDrop Privacy Policy
Effective 4 May 2026
FocusDrop is an offline-first iOS app. We do not run servers. We do not collect or transmit your tasks, habits, notes, focus history, or stats anywhere. We do not use third-party analytics. We do not track you across other apps or websites.
Everything you create in FocusDrop — tasks, habits, completed sessions, streaks, notes, stats — is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. The app reads and writes only on-device storage.
Your data is included in your iCloud or local iTunes/Finder backups (depending on your iPhone backup settings) under Apple's standard mechanisms. We have no access to those backups.
If you delete the app, your data is removed with it. There is no copy on a server we own.
- We don't ask for an account, email, name, or any sign-in.
- We don't have a backend. There are no FocusDrop servers receiving your data.
- We don't include third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or crash reporters that send data off-device.
- We don't track you across other apps, websites, or services.
- We don't sell or share data with anyone, because we don't have any to sell or share.
Pro features are unlocked via in-app purchase using Apple's StoreKit. Apple — not FocusDrop — handles your payment information, billing, and renewal. We only read your subscription entitlement (a yes/no flag from StoreKit) to know whether to unlock Pro features. Apple's privacy practices for App Store transactions are described in their privacy policy at apple.com/legal/privacy.
FocusDrop uses local notifications only — they're scheduled by the app and delivered by iOS on your device. We do not send push notifications from a server. The first time you start a focus session or set a reminder, iOS will ask whether to allow notifications; you can change this any time in Settings → Notifications → FocusDrop.
Apple requires apps to declare why they use certain APIs that could in principle be misused for fingerprinting. FocusDrop's declarations (also visible in our PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest):
- UserDefaults (reason CA92.1) — to read and write our own app's preferences (theme, sounds, last-open date). Same-app use only.
That is currently the only required-reason API the app touches. If we add others in a future version, we'll update both this page and the privacy manifest.
FocusDrop is rated 4+. It does not collect personal data from anyone — children included — and does not contain advertising, social features, or external links to user-generated content.
Because FocusDrop holds no personal data on any server, there is nothing for us to delete, export, or correct on your behalf. To delete everything FocusDrop knows about you, delete the app from your device. To export, you can copy task names from within the app's UI (a structured export is on the roadmap).
Residents of the EU/EEA/UK have rights under GDPR; residents of California have rights under the CCPA. None of those rights are reduced by FocusDrop having nothing to give back — but if you're unsure, write to us using the contact details below and we'll respond.
If we ever add features that change this picture — for example, an opt-in cloud sync, or opt-in crash reporting — we'll update this page before shipping the change, bump the effective date, and update the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest in the app to match.
The current effective date appears at the top of this page.
