Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 8, 2026
TimeTill does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. The whole app is built around being able to say that.
What TimeTill reads
The app reads upcoming events from the Calendar database on your iPhone and Apple Watch through Apple's EventKit framework. This data is used only to render:
- The next-event countdown shown in the app
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
- The Live Activity in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen
- Apple Watch complications and the watch app
Event data never leaves your devices. There is no server, no account, no cloud.
What TimeTill stores
The app stores user preferences locally — which calendars you've enabled, your widget configuration choices, and onboarding state — in the device's UserDefaults database. These preferences are shared between the iPhone app and its widget extensions via an App Group, but are not transmitted off your device.
Between iPhone and Apple Watch, TimeTill uses Apple's WatchConnectivity framework to send a snapshot of your upcoming events from the iPhone to its paired Apple Watch. This communication is end-to-end encrypted by Apple and goes only between your two devices.
What TimeTill does not do
- No analytics SDKs (no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Firebase, nothing)
- No advertising identifiers
- No third-party tracking domains
- No cookies (the app isn't a website; this site uses only Google Fonts, which is the only third-party connection)
- No login, account, or sign-in
- No background location, microphone, camera, photos, contacts, or health data
Permissions we ask for
- Calendar (required) — so we can read your events. We never modify or delete events.
- Live Activities (optional, on by default; togglable in Settings) — so the app can fade into the Dynamic Island as your event approaches.
- Background App Refresh (optional, system-controlled) — so the app can sync your events to widgets and your watch even when you don't open it.
Children
TimeTill does not knowingly collect any data from anyone. The app is rated 4+ in the App Store.
Changes to this policy
If anything ever changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. The app's privacy posture is core to its design — we don't anticipate adding tracking.
