1. Information we collect

  • Usage & session information: focus sessions, break sessions, durations, and basic stats so we can show you your history and streaks.
  • Settings: your timer preferences (focus length, break lengths, sound, etc.) so we can apply them across devices.
  • Payment information: if you choose a paid plan, Stripe handles your payment data. We do not store your full card details.
