FlowBar ("the app", "we", "our") is a macOS menu bar productivity app. This policy explains what data the app collects, how it is stored, and how it is used.
Short version: FlowBar stores all your data locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or have access to any of your personal information.
FlowBar does not collect any personal data. The app operates entirely on your device.
The following information is stored locally on your Mac only:
| Data | Where stored | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Task titles and notes | Application Support (JSON files) | Core app functionality |
| Task completion history | Application Support (JSON files) | History and Focus Stats |
| Pomodoro session count | UserDefaults | Daily progress tracking |
| App preferences (theme, timer duration, etc.) | UserDefaults | Personalization |
| Pro purchase status | StoreKit / UserDefaults | Unlocking Pro features |
| Panel window position | UserDefaults | Remembering your layout |
None of this data ever leaves your device.
FlowBar offers a one-time FlowBar Pro purchase processed entirely through Apple's App Store / StoreKit. We do not see, store, or process any payment information. Apple handles all billing. Please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy for how Apple processes purchase data.
FlowBar may send local notifications (e.g., Pomodoro timer complete). These are generated on your device and are never transmitted to any server. You can disable notifications at any time in System Settings → Notifications → FlowBar.
FlowBar optionally integrates with the macOS Shortcuts app to enable
Focus Mode (Do Not Disturb) toggling. This uses a local URL scheme (shortcuts://) and runs entirely on your device. No data is sent to external
servers.
FlowBar does not use any third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, crash-reporting services, or tracking frameworks. We have no visibility into how you use the app.
FlowBar does not require you to create an account. No email address, name, or any other identifying information is ever requested or collected.
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any data — because we do not collect any.
All app data is stored in your Mac's Application Support folder and UserDefaults. To delete all data:
~/Library/Application Support/FlowBar/ defaults delete com.kmino.FlowBar FlowBar does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
If we ever change this policy in a material way (e.g., if a future version adds network features), we will update the "Last updated" date above and note the changes in the App Store release notes.
