Privacy Policy

Intermezzo collects anonymous product-usage data to help improve the app. That is the whole list — there are no accounts, no advertising, and no tracking.

Anonymous analytics, not tracking

Intermezzo uses Aptabase, a privacy-focused analytics service, to receive anonymous aggregate reports. When you open the app, it sends the app version, platform, and the current configuration (for example, work/break timing, selected chime and theme, and whether an option is enabled). On iPhone/iPad and Apple Watch, it also records how many Intermezzo widgets or complications are configured; it cannot see whether a widget is currently visible. When you change a setting or use a feature such as postponing a break, it sends only that setting or action name and its new value when applicable. This lets us understand aggregate preferences and feature adoption, such as which chime is most popular or which options people turn off.

These events contain no account, name, email address, device identifier, pairing key, break schedule, or other information that identifies you. We do not use advertising, cross-app tracking, cookies, fingerprinting, or targeted ads, and Aptabase does not link these events to an individual person.

What the app stores, and where

• Your settings (break timing, sounds, theme) are stored on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, Apple's iCloud key-value store syncs them between your own devices. They are visible only to you.
• Break events ("a break starts at time X"), when you enable "Synchronize breaks across devices", are shared two ways: through your private iCloud database, and directly between your devices over your own local network. These messages contain only timing information and a random device identifier — never personal data — and are authenticated so only your own devices accept them.

Local network access

Synchronized breaks use Bonjour on your local network to find your other devices, which is why iOS and macOS ask for Local Network permission. Nothing is sent to the internet by this feature, and the app does not advertise on the network unless you turn the feature on.

Notifications

Break reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. They never pass through a remote server operated by the developer.

Children

Intermezzo collects no data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If a future version of Intermezzo ever changes any of the above, this policy will be updated before that version ships.
