This is a plain-language privacy policy. No lawyer wrote it. No committee reviewed it. If something isn’t clear, email me and I’ll answer.
What Procrastinote Is
Procrastinote is a read-later app. You save links, the app fetches some information about them, and generates a short AI summary of the content and a recommendation on how long you should wait before you read it. That’s it.
What Data Procrastinote Collects
When you save a link, Procrastinote stores:
- The URL you saved
- Basic metadata about the article: title, author, publication date, site name
- A preview image, if the site provides one
- An AI-generated summary, if you request one
- Any tags or notes you add yourself
Procrastinote does not collect your name, your email address, your location, or any information about you as a person. The app has no account system. It doesn’t know who you are, and it doesn’t need to.
Where Your Data Lives
Everything Procrastinote stores lives in your personal iCloud account, using Apple’s CloudKit framework. Your data syncs across your own devices and stays under Apple’s privacy protections. I don’t have a server somewhere holding your reading list. Your links are yours.
What I Do With Your Data
Nothing. I don’t see it, I don’t sell it, I don’t share it with anyone. There is no advertising partner waiting in the wings, no third-party analytics platform, no hidden tracker recording what you save or how you use the app.
Analytics and Tracking
Procrastinote contains no analytics code. I don’t know how many people use the app on any given day, which features they use most, or how long they spend reading (or not reading) the things they saved. If I want to know how the app is doing, I check the App Store reviews like everyone else.
AI Summaries
To generate the summaries, Procrastinote fetches the content of the page (downloading the article, PDF, or YouTube video metadata) and processes it entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. No content is sent to me, and no content is sent to a third-party AI service. The model doing the work lives on your device, not on someone else’s server.
Summaries are cached in memory while the app is running, so requesting the same summary twice doesn’t re-process the page. That cache clears when the app closes. Nothing about your summaries is written to disk beyond what iCloud already stores for your saved links.
How to Delete Your Data
To delete a single saved item: swipe to delete it in the app.
To delete everything: delete the app. When you remove Procrastinote, your data is removed from iCloud along with it.
To remove Procrastinote’s iCloud data without deleting the app: go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Account Storage on your iPhone or iPad.
