Tempo privacy policy
Tempo has no accounts, no servers of ours, no advertising and no analytics. The timer stays on your devices and in your own iCloud, and your tasks stay in Apple Reminders.
What Tempo keeps
- The current timer: the task name, its length, when it ends or how much was left when you paused, when it last changed, and a random ID for the device that changed it, which doesn't identify you or the device.
- Your settings, such as sounds, volumes and the size of the dial. These stay on each device.
Tempo keeps no history of past timers. The current timer syncs between your devices through your private iCloud database. We never receive it.
Apple Reminders
If you allow it, Tempo uses your reminders as its task list.
- It reads each reminder's title, notes, due date, list name and colour, and link.
- It writes, only when you act: the estimate, the focus mark and "Focused 25 min" lines in a reminder's notes; marking a reminder done; changing its due date (which also removes its date alerts); and new reminders you create in Tempo.
- It never deletes reminders or changes their titles or other fields.
Your reminders stay in Reminders and sync the way Reminders does. The only thing from them that reaches Tempo's own iCloud record is the current timer's task name, when you picked a reminder for it.
Shortcuts, Siri and links
When you start, pause or stop Tempo from Shortcuts, Siri or a tempo:// link, the request is handled on your device like a tap in the app. Opening a task's link opens it in the app it belongs to.
Connecting other apps (Mac)
On the Mac, other apps on the same computer, such as Super Productivity, can start and follow Tempo's timer through a local connection that only that computer can reach. Tempo also tells them when the timer changes. Nothing leaves the computer. You can turn this off in Tempo's settings.
Webhook. If you paste a web address into the Mac's webhook setting, Tempo sends every timer change, including the task name, to that address. It's off until you add one, and the address is yours to choose. This is the only network request Tempo makes besides iCloud.
What Tempo never does
- No accounts, no advertising identifiers, no analytics or crash reporting services.
- No sale or sharing of your data with anyone.
Deleting your data
Deleting Tempo removes its data from that device; your reminders stay in Reminders. To remove the synced timer too, delete Tempo's data from iCloud in the Settings app, under your name, iCloud, then Manage Storage.
