Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

My Daily Thing is an iPhone app that keeps lists of things you want to do, picks the next one and rings an alarm for it. This page says what happens to your information when you use the app and this website.

The short version

The app has no account, no sign-up, no ads and no analytics. What you put in it stays on your iPhone. We cannot see it.

What the app keeps, and where

• Your lists, things, history, streak and settings. Stored in a file on your iPhone. They are not sent to us or to anyone else. If your iPhone is backed up (to iCloud or to a computer), that file is part of your backup, under Apple's terms.
• Photos and videos you attach to a thing. Copied into the app's own folder on your iPhone. They are not uploaded.
• Your places. If you add a place such as "Home", the app asks for your location so that things marked for that place only ring while you are there. It compares the phone's position with the circle you drew around each place. Your places, and when you entered or left them, stay on your iPhone. You can use the app without giving it your location.

When something leaves your iPhone

• Searching for an address. When you search for a place by name or address, the text you type is sent to Apple Maps to find it. Apple's privacy policy applies to that search.
• YouTube clips. If you attach a clip of a YouTube video to a thing, its picture and the video are loaded from YouTube and played in YouTube's own player. YouTube (Google) receives what it would receive from any embedded video, such as your IP address and which video is played. Google's privacy policy applies. If you attach no YouTube clips, the app never contacts YouTube.
• Crash reports. If you agreed to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone's settings, Apple may send us reports about crashes. They do not include your lists.

The app makes no other connections.

What we do not do

We do not sell information, show ads, track you across apps or websites, or build a profile of you.

This website

If you leave your email address in the "Get notified" form, we keep it only to write to you about My Daily Thing. It is stored in a spreadsheet in our Google account. Write to us and we will delete it.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Deleting your information

Everything the app keeps is on your iPhone. "Start over" in the app's Settings replaces your lists, streak and history with the starter lists, and deleting the app removes all of it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be on this page with a new date.
