Privacy

Friday runs on your Mac. There is no Friday account and no Friday server holding your data: your tasks, plans, calendars, timers and notes stay in a folder on your computer (~/Library/Application Support/Friday), and nobody else can see them.

What leaves your Mac, and only when you choose it

Calendars and email you connect. When you connect a calendar feed, or Google Calendar and Gmail once they're in the download, Friday reads them directly from your Mac. What it reads is kept on your Mac, not sent to us.
Looking for updates. When Friday opens, and once a month, it asks this site for the list of Friday's versions, to tell you when a new one is out. It sends nothing about you or your data; like any web request, the site sees your connection's address, and doesn't keep it.
The AI you connect. If you connect an AI (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini), what you ask it and the parts of your plan it needs to answer are sent to that company, under their terms. A model running on your own Mac keeps it on your Mac. Without an AI, nothing is sent anywhere.

This site

This site has no cookies, no trackers and no analytics. It counts each download of Friday: which version, when, and whether it came from the download button, the Terminal line or Friday's own updater. So that someone who downloads twice counts as one visitor, the site remembers a scrambled form of your connection's address until the end of that day (UTC), in its memory only, never written down. The scrambling uses a key made new each day and forgotten with it, so the address can't be worked back out. Your address itself isn't kept.

Messages you send

A message sent through the contact form (your email, your name if you give it, and what you wrote) is kept on Friday's server and emailed to its maker through Gmail, and used only to answer you. To have it deleted, say so in a message.
