Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 2025
The Simple Truth
We collect zero data. Period.
Hardcore Focus is designed with your privacy as the foundation. We don't track you, we don't collect your personal information, and we don't sell your data to anyone.
What We Don't Collect
- Personal identification information
- Your tasks or focus sessions
- Device information
- Location data
- Usage analytics
- Cookies or tracking pixels
- Any data whatsoever
How Your Data Stays Private
All your focus sessions, tasks, and progress are stored locally on your device. Nothing leaves your phone. Nothing gets uploaded to our servers. Nothing gets shared with third parties.
If you enable iCloud Sync (Pro feature), your data syncs through your private iCloud account. We never see it, access it, or have any ability to read your synced data.
Your focus data is yours and yours alone.
Third-Party Services
We don't integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. The only third party involved is Apple, through the App Store for app distribution and purchases, and iCloud for optional sync.
Apple Integrations
Hardcore Focus integrates with several Apple services, all of which are processed locally on your device:
- Screen Time: Used to block apps during focus sessions. We never see which apps you block.
- Reminders: Optional sync with your Reminders. Data stays in your Reminders app.
- Health: Optional sleep data for AI Coach insights. Read-only, never stored or transmitted.
- Calendar: Optional calendar preview for Shutdown Mode. Read-only access.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change this policy (which we don't plan to), we'll update this page and the effective date above. But our commitment to collecting zero data will never change.
Contact Us
If you have questions about this privacy policy, you can reach us on X (@erickuhn19) or through the App Store.
Bottom line: We built Hardcore Focus to help you focus on what matters, not to collect data about you. Your privacy is not for sale.
