Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Clingies is a desktop pet for macOS. We collect as little as we can. This page explains what we collect, why, and who helps us.

The app

• Your reminders, activity log, focus sessions, Today rings and settings are stored only on your Mac. We never receive them.
• There is no account.
• The app may send anonymous usage events (for example "app launched" or "reminder completed") through TelemetryDeck, a privacy-first analytics service. These events contain no name, email or content, and use an anonymised identifier. You can turn them off in Clingies Settings → Privacy.
• The app checks clingies.app for updates (Sparkle). That request includes your app and macOS version.
• Licence activation sends your licence key and an anonymous device identifier to Lemon Squeezy so the licence can work on up to 3 Macs.

The waitlist and emails

• If you join the waitlist we store your email address with Resend, our email provider, and use it only to send you Clingies news: the confirmation email, a build log now and then, and launch and pricing announcements.
• You're only added after you tap the confirmation link. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address any time at hello@clingies.app.
• We never sell or share your email.

This website

• We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It uses no cookies and doesn't track you across sites.
• Links may carry "utm" tags (for example ?utm_source=tiktok) so we know which posts bring visitors. They aren't tied to you.
• The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard request data (like IP address) to deliver and protect the site.

Purchases

Payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy, the merchant of record. They process your payment details, billing address and tax information under their own privacy policy. We see your order, email and licence, never your card.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you (which is at most your email and your orders). Email hello@clingies.app and we'll reply within 30 days.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Big changes go to the mailing list too.
