Privacy policy
Your calendar stays yours.
Daynode is a local-first macOS app. It uses the accounts and permissions you choose to provide its calendar, reminder, contact, note, and licensing features.
Effective July 24, 2026
What Daynode accesses
Depending on the features you enable, Daynode may access:
- Google account: your email address, calendar list, calendar names and colors, events, event details, recurrence rules, and attendees.
- Apple Contacts: names, email addresses, phone numbers, and organizations, after you grant macOS permission.
- Apple Reminders: reminder lists and reminder details, after you grant macOS permission.
- iCloud: Daynode notes and tasks when iCloud sync is available and enabled.
- License service: the license key and device identifier needed to activate and check a Daynode license.
How Google data is used
Daynode uses Google Calendar data only to provide calendar features you can see and control in the app. This includes showing calendars and events, keeping a fast local copy, creating and changing events, creating calendars, and sending invitations when you add attendees.
Daynode does not use Google data for advertising, profiling, credit decisions, or training general-purpose artificial intelligence models. It does not sell Google user data.
Daynode's use of Google user data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Where data is stored
Calendar events, calendar details, contacts, notes, and tasks are stored in Daynode's local SQLite database on your Mac. Google refresh tokens and Daynode license details are stored in the macOS Keychain.
Daynode's website acts as a small Google sign-in helper. It exchanges the one-time Google sign-in code and refreshes access tokens. It does not keep Google refresh tokens, access tokens, calendar events, or contacts in a website database. Responses are marked not to be cached.
When data is shared
Daynode sends data only when needed to provide a feature you request:
- Google receives calendar changes and invitations you create.
- Apple iCloud receives Daynode notes and tasks when iCloud sync is enabled.
- Polar receives license information needed for purchase, activation, and license checks.
- Vercel hosts the Daynode website and the Google sign-in helper.
Daynode does not give Google user data to data brokers or advertisers.
Your choices and deletion
You can disconnect Google Calendar from Daynode at any time. This removes the Google refresh token from the macOS Keychain and stops future access. You can also revoke Daynode from your Google Account permissions.
To remove Daynode's local copies, quit Daynode and delete its app data from ~/Library/Application Support/com.daynode.desktop. Removing local data does not delete the original events in Google Calendar, reminders in Apple Reminders, or data already stored in iCloud.
Security
Daynode limits access to the permissions needed for its visible features. It keeps long-lived Google credentials in the macOS Keychain, does not ship the Google client secret in the app, and uses encrypted HTTPS connections for Google, Vercel, Polar, and other online services.
Changes and questions
This policy may change when Daynode's features or legal duties change. The effective date above will be updated when that happens.
