Notch — Privacy Policy

Last updated July 2026

The short version

Notch does not collect, sell, or share any of your data. Everything you enter stays on your iPhone. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking of any kind. We have no servers.

Your data

Tasks, habits, finances, classes, reminders, notes, photos, workouts, trips and everything else you add are stored in files on your device, readable only by the app. We (the developer) have no access to them, ever.

Weather

If the dashboard weather is on, Notch asks for your approximate location and sends only rounded coordinates — no identifiers, no account, nothing else — to the Open-Meteo forecast service to fetch local conditions. This is the app's only network request, and you can turn it off in Settings at any time.

Face ID

The optional app lock uses Apple's on-device Face ID / passcode verification. Notch never sees or stores biometric data — Apple's system only tells the app "unlocked" or "not."

Location & search

The travel city search uses Apple's MapKit service to look up places. Your search terms are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.

Notifications

Reminders are scheduled locally on your device. Nothing about them leaves your phone.

Backups

Notch keeps automatic daily backups on your device, and export creates a file you control. Where you save or send it is up to you.

Deleting your data

Settings → Erase all data removes everything instantly. Deleting the app does the same.
