Privacy Policy

Daily Do · Last updated October 2026

Daily Do works entirely on your iPhone. There is no Daily Do account, no server, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. We never receive your calendar, reminders, email, or anything else. Daily Do gathers your day from your own phone, builds your page there, and keeps nothing longer than it needs to.

Calendar and Reminders

With your permission, Daily Do reads the calendars and Reminders lists on your iPhone to show today’s and the coming week’s appointments, your chosen shopping list, and anything due. It only reads them and never changes them. This all happens on your iPhone.

Email (optional)

If you choose to connect Gmail, you enter your Gmail address and an app password that you create in your Google Account. Daily Do then connects directly from your iPhone to Google’s mail server (imap.gmail.com) over an encrypted connection. There is no server of ours in between.

• Read-only. Your inbox is opened in read-only mode. Daily Do never sends, deletes, moves, labels, or marks any message as read.
• Only what the page needs. For recent inbox mail (the last 1–3 days, your choice), it reads the sender, subject, date, whether it’s unread, Gmail’s conversation ID (so a tap opens the right email), and the first few lines of the message for a one-line preview. It does not download attachments.
• Not stored. Email is held in memory only while your page is being built. It is never saved by the app, apart from what appears on your latest printable page (see below).
• Your password stays on your phone. Your Gmail address and app password are kept in your iPhone’s Keychain, on that device only, and are never synced to iCloud or sent anywhere except to Google’s mail server to sign in. Tap Disconnect Gmail to delete them, or revoke the app password in your Google Account at any time.

Sports scores

To show your teams’ latest results and next games, Daily Do requests public schedules from ESPN. Those requests contain only the league and team, with no personal information and no cookies. As with any website, ESPN can see the internet address the request comes from.

Your printable page

Daily Do keeps only the latest copy of your page (a PDF) on your iPhone, replacing it each time it rebuilds. It leaves your phone only when you choose to Print or Share it, and then it goes only where you send it.

Notifications

The morning reminder is a local notification scheduled on your iPhone. It shows counts only (“3 things on the calendar today”), never appointment names, so nothing private appears on your lock screen.

Settings

Your preferences, such as calendar categories, the shopping list, favorite teams, email category rules, and the morning time, are saved only on your iPhone.

Links to other apps

Tapping an item opens Apple’s Calendar or Reminders, Gmail, or ESPN. Those apps and sites have their own privacy policies.

Deleting your data

Disconnect Gmail in Daily Do’s Settings to remove your email sign-in. Deleting the app removes everything Daily Do kept on your iPhone. Because we never receive your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

Children

Daily Do is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page.
