Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026

Overview

Lazyflow is an open-source, privacy-focused task management app. We believe your data belongs to you.

Data Collection

What We Don't Collect

• We do not collect personal information
• We do not track your usage
• We do not use analytics
• We do not sell or share any data
• We do not access your location

What Stays On Your Device

• All tasks and lists are stored locally on your device
• Calendar data is accessed only through Apple's EventKit framework
• By default, AI analysis is processed entirely on-device using Apple Intelligence

AI Features

Lazyflow uses AI to help categorize tasks, estimate durations, and provide smart suggestions. You can choose from three AI provider tiers:

On-Device (Default)

• Apple Intelligence — All processing happens on your device. No task data leaves your device.

Local Network

• Ollama — Runs AI models on your Mac over your local network. No data is sent to the internet.

External Providers (Optional, User-Initiated)

• You may optionally configure a custom AI endpoint (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, or other Open Responses-compatible services).
• When enabled, task titles, descriptions, and related context may be sent to the external server you configure.
• External endpoints require HTTPS to protect your data in transit.
• API keys are stored securely in your device's Keychain, not in plain text.
• The app clearly labels external providers with an "External" badge and displays a warning before any data is sent.
• You can switch back to on-device processing at any time.

iCloud Sync

If you enable iCloud sync:

• Your data syncs through Apple's CloudKit
• Data is encrypted and stored in your personal iCloud account
• We have no access to your iCloud data
• You can disable sync at any time in Settings

Notifications

• Notifications are used for task reminders
• All notification scheduling happens locally on your device
• We do not use push notification servers
• You can disable notifications in iOS Settings at any time

Calendar Access

• We request calendar access only to display and create events
• Calendar data is accessed locally through Apple's EventKit
• We do not upload calendar data to any server

Data Deletion

• Delete individual tasks and lists within the app
• Use "Delete All Data" in Settings to remove everything
• Uninstalling the app removes all local data

Children's Privacy

Lazyflow does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
