Privacy Policy for Set

Learn how Set protects your privacy and handles your data

Last Updated: September 18th, 2026

Your privacy is important to us. Set is built with your privacy as a core principle—we believe your task data is yours alone.

The Short Version

  • Your tasks stay on your device. We don’t collect, store, or access your task data, projects, or any productivity information.
  • iCloud is between you and Apple. If you enable iCloud sync, your data syncs through Apple’s servers using end-to-end encryption. We never see it.
  • Subscriptions through RevenueCat. We use RevenueCat to manage Pro subscriptions. They process the absolute minimum needed to handle your subscription—no tasks, no usage data, just subscription status.
  • No tracking, no ads, no nonsense. We don’t use analytics, trackers, or advertising networks.

If you want more details, read on.

What We Collect

Subscription Information Only

Set offers an optional Pro subscription managed through RevenueCat. This is the only information collected:

  • Subscription status: Whether you have an active subscription, trial, or cancellation
  • Purchase metadata: Your subscription tier and validity from Apple’s App Store
  • Anonymous device identifier: Links your subscription across devices (not personally identifiable)

RevenueCat exists solely to manage your subscription. See their Privacy Policy for details.

What We Don’t Collect

No Task or Productivity Data

All of your data—tasks, projects, stages, durations, breaks, statistics—is stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework. We never collect, access, store, or process any of this information.

On-Device Intelligence

Some features (rewriting notes, and extracting tasks from a photo or scan) use Apple’s on-device Foundation Models and text recognition to process your content directly on your device. This content is processed locally and is never sent to us or to any third-party AI service.

No Analytics or Tracking

We don’t track:

  • How you use the app
  • Which features you use
  • Crash reports or diagnostics
  • Your behavior or usage patterns

Future Consideration: We may add optional crash diagnostics to improve app stability. If we do, it will be opt-in only, fully anonymized, disclosed in Settings, and announced here first. For now, we collect nothing.

How Your Data Works

Local Storage

Your productivity data lives in your device’s app sandbox. When you create tasks, track time, or generate statistics—all processing happens entirely on your device.

iCloud Sync (Optional)

If you enable iCloud sync in Settings → Data:

  • Your data syncs between your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad and Mac) using Apple CloudKit
  • Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple’s security standards
  • Sync happens directly between your devices and Apple’s iCloud—never touching our servers
  • We have zero visibility into your iCloud data

Disable iCloud sync anytime to keep your data local only. Your relationship with iCloud is governed by Apple’s iCloud Terms.

The Website & Free Online Task Manager

Our website (get-set.app) is a plain, static site. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics, trackers, or advertising.

The free online task manager and timer runs entirely in your browser. Any tasks you add are saved in your browser’s local storage (the Web Storage API, not cookies) on your own device—so your list is still there when you come back—and are never uploaded to us or anyone else. Clear your browser’s site data anytime to remove them. Because this storage exists only to keep the tool working for you, it needs no consent banner.

Permissions Set Asks For

Set asks for a permission only when you turn on the feature that needs it, and everything it reaches stays on your device or inside Apple’s own services. Every one can be refused, and the rest of the app carries on working.

  • Calendar and Reminders: for showing your events in Today and for syncing tasks with Apple Reminders. Set reads and writes through Apple’s EventKit on your device. Your events and reminders are never copied to us.
  • Notifications: for task reminders, timer alerts and daily prompts. They are scheduled on your device, not pushed from a server of ours.
  • Microphone and speech (Apple Watch and Siri): capturing a task by voice uses the system’s own dictation and Siri. Set receives the finished text, never a recording, and keeps no audio. What Siri and dictation do with your voice is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
  • Camera and photos (Scan Tasks): only when you scan a list. The image is read on your device with Apple’s on-device text recognition and is not uploaded or kept.
  • Screen Time (the app blocker): blocking distracting apps uses Apple’s Family Controls. Apple hands Set anonymous tokens for the apps you pick, never their names or your usage, and those tokens stay on your device.

Apple Watch

The Set app on Apple Watch keeps today’s plan in a store on the watch itself, and does not use iCloud. Your iPhone sends it the day directly, over Apple’s own device-to-device connection, and anything you do on the wrist travels back the same way, waiting its turn if the two are apart. It reads your calendar on the watch itself. Nothing from the watch reaches us.

Third-Party Services

Apple (App Store & iCloud)

Set is distributed through the Apple App Store. When you purchase a subscription via in-app purchase, Apple processes your payment and shares subscription status with us (via RevenueCat)—but not your payment details or personal information. To show a list of our other apps in Settings, the app also makes an anonymous request to Apple’s public App Store (iTunes Lookup) service; Apple receives standard request information such as your IP address and region, but we collect no personal data and send no task data. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.

RevenueCat (Subscription Management)

RevenueCat validates subscriptions, handles trials and renewals, and provides Pro feature access across devices. They collect only subscription status and an anonymous device identifier—no task data, no personal details.

Your Rights and Controls

Access Your Data

All your data is on your device. View it anytime in the app. If using iCloud sync, manage it through iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud.

Delete Your Data

Delete data anytime:

  • Individual items: Use in-app delete options for tasks, projects, or statistics
  • Reset everything: Settings → Data → Reset All Data (permanently deletes all tasks, projects, stages, breaks, and statistics)

Deleting data in the app also removes it from iCloud if sync is enabled. Disable iCloud sync in Settings → Data to stop syncing.

Important Disclaimers

Not Medical Advice

Set is a productivity tool, not a medical device or clinical tool. It is not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent ADHD, anxiety, depression, or any medical condition.

If you have a health condition, consult a qualified healthcare provider. Never disregard professional medical advice because of something in this app. Set does not replace therapy, medication, or evidence-based treatments. Do not rely on this app for medication reminders or critical medical tasks.

See our End User License Agreement (EULA) for complete medical disclaimers.

Not a Health App

Set does not collect, process, or store health data as defined by HIPAA, GDPR, or Apple HealthKit. We are not a HIPAA-covered entity and do not handle protected health information (PHI).

Children’s Privacy

Set is not directed at children under 13. We don’t collect personal information from anyone, including children. All data is stored locally on the device.

Parents or guardians can delete a child’s data by:

  • Deleting the app from the device (removes all local data)
  • Disabling iCloud sync and deleting iCloud data through iOS Settings

Data Retention

We don’t collect your task data, so we don’t retain it. Your data lives on your device (and optionally in your iCloud account) until you delete it.

Subscription data managed by RevenueCat is retained as long as necessary to manage your subscription.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally (for example, if we add new features). For significant changes, we’ll notify you by:

  • Updating the “Last Updated” date above
  • Displaying a notice in the app

Continued use of Set after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Set complies with applicable privacy laws, including:

  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): For users in the EU
  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): For California users
  • COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act): We don’t knowingly collect data from children under 13

Because we don’t collect personal or task data, most data rights (access, rectify, delete) are handled locally on your device.

Summary

Set is built on the principle that your productivity data is yours.

  • Your tasks stay on your device (or in your iCloud if you enable it)
  • The free online task manager keeps your list in your own browser—nothing is uploaded
  • We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions with anonymous, minimal data collection
  • We don’t use cookies, analytics, trackers, or ads

Thank you for using Set. Now go get stuff done.
