Privacy policy

Last updated 12 November 2026

Sundial is made by RapidOrange. This page says what the app and its service do with your information. Questions: contact@rapidorange.com.

What stays on your Mac

Sundial records which app and window is in front, the address of the page in your browser (without anything after a “?” or “#”), how long each was used, your focus sessions, goals, notes for the on-device assistant, and the calendar events and reminders you ask it to show. All of this is stored in a database on your Mac. It is not sent to us or to anyone else.

The assistant uses Apple Intelligence on your Mac. Your questions and your activity are not sent to an AI service.

What our service receives

• Your email address and, if you give one, your name.
• Your password, stored only as a salted hash that cannot be turned back into the password.
• For each Mac you sign in on: the Mac's name, its macOS version, the Sundial version, a one-way hash of its hardware identifier, the country your connection comes from, and when it last checked in. We do not store your IP address.
• A record of account events such as signing in or resetting a password.

Optional: anonymous daily totals

When you create an account, Sundial asks whether you want to help improve it. If you agree, the app sends one row per day containing the date, the total seconds tracked, and seconds per category (for example “Browsing: 3,600”). It never includes app names, window titles, websites, calendar entries or tasks. You can turn this off in Settings → Account at any time, and doing so deletes the totals already sent.

Email

We email you only when you ask for a password reset code. The email is sent through Brevo.

Where it is kept

The service runs on Cloudflare. Account information is kept for as long as you have an account.

Your choices

• Export or delete everything on your Mac from Settings → Backup & Data and Settings → Storage.
• Delete your account from Settings → Account. That removes your email, name, Macs and shared totals from the service.
• Write to us to ask what we hold about you or to have it corrected or removed.

Payments and ads

Sundial is free during early access and shows no ads. If that changes, this page will be updated before it does, and the app will tell you.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will tell you before the change takes effect.
