Slatewise privacy policy

In one paragraph

Your blocks, tasks, notes and habits are stored on your phone. Slatewise has no sign-in and we operate no server that receives your plans. The single exception to "stays on the device" is the advertising software described below, which runs only when ads are shown.

What stays on your device

• Blocks, inbox tasks, day scores, mood check-ins and the one-line notes you write for tomorrow live in the app's own storage.
• The suggestions that learn "when you usually do this" are computed on the device from your own history. The history is never sent anywhere.
• A compact copy of today's block titles and times is kept in a keychain item shared only with the Slatewise widget and Live Activity so they can display it. No other app can read it.
• Settings (day start and end, snap size, reminder choice) and the ad-free time you have earned are local too.

Calendar access (optional)

If you switch on "Show my calendar on the timeline", iOS asks for permission. Slatewise then reads event titles and times on the device to draw them as faint hatching and to keep suggested free slots clear of them. Events are not copied into Slatewise, not uploaded and never modified. Turn it off, or revoke access in iOS Settings, whenever you like.

Notifications and Live Activities (optional)

An end-of-day review reminder is scheduled locally on your phone if you enable it. Focus sessions can appear as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Both are generated on the device; we do not send push notifications.

Advertising

The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob. After the app asks for your tracking choice (App Tracking Transparency) and, where required, your consent through Google's consent form, AdMob may collect your device identifier, ad interactions and approximate location to select and measure ads. Your plans, block titles, calendar events and notes are never passed to AdMob. If you refuse tracking, or you are in a region that requires consent and decline, ads are non-personalised. Details: Google's advertising technologies.

Subscription and purchases

The optional monthly ad-free subscription is handled entirely by Apple through your Apple ID. We never see your payment details. Manage or cancel it in your Apple account settings. "Restore purchases" in the app re-checks your entitlement with Apple.

Your choices and deletion

"Delete all my data" in Settings erases everything Slatewise holds on the device. Deleting the app does the same. You can change tracking permission any time in iOS Settings, Privacy & Security, Tracking.

Children

Slatewise is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal information.
