Pomodoro Study Timer

Privacy policy

Your effort stays yours.

Effective November 9, 2026

We do not collect your study data

Pomodoro Study Timer's core features run entirely on your device without an account. We do not collect, upload or sell task names, focus records, garden progress, collections or preferences. The app contains no ads, analytics, tracking or third-party statistics SDKs, and does not access contacts, photos, microphone or location.

Records stay on your device

Tasks, study intervals, timer state, buddy choices and preferences are saved in local app storage. When the screen locks, you switch apps or reopen Pomodoro Study Timer, the timer is corrected using saved times. System device backups may contain app data, depending on your system settings.

Reminders and lock-screen cards

Pomodoro Study Timer schedules local end-of-phase notifications only after you enable reminders and grant iOS notification permission. Lock-screen timer cards use on-device Live Activities. They are off by default and hide task names by default. If you enable task names, people nearby may see them on the lock screen. Turn these features off in Pomodoro Study Timer at any time, or manage permissions in iOS Settings.

Your backups, your choice

When saving a JSON backup or exporting CSV, you choose the location or recipient. Pomodoro Study Timer does not send files to a developer server. If you choose a third-party cloud drive or sharing service, that service handles the file under its own policy. Restoring a backup validates and merges records locally. Backups may contain task names; keep them safe.

Viewing and deleting data

View records in Stats and Garden, and export a full backup in Settings. Removing a lock-screen card does not delete study records. Using Delete App in iOS removes the app's local data. Backups saved outside the app and system backups must be deleted separately. Save any data you want to keep before deleting the app.

Audience and policy updates

Pomodoro Study Timer is a study timer for a general audience. It does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, guaranteed learning outcomes or social content. Minors may use it with a guardian's guidance. If future features change how data is handled, we will update this policy and request consent when needed.

Contact the developer

For privacy questions or feedback, contact the developer using the Support link on the App Store product page. Please do not send unnecessary task content or complete study backups. Information you choose to provide for support is used only to understand and address that issue.

Support website and feedback

This support site is hosted on GitHub Pages, separately from the offline app. GitHub may process visitor IP addresses and platform data under its own privacy statement. These pages add no advertising or analytics scripts. Feedback posted to the issue tracker is public and handled by GitHub. Do not post private task content or complete backups.
