DaybookDaybook Privacy Policy
Daybook is a tasks and notes app for Android, iPhone and iPad, made by Samandar Rajabboyev ("I", "me"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Daybook.
The short version
Daybook doesn't collect, send or sell your data. There's no account, no server and no tracking. What you write stays on your device.
What Daybook keeps, and where
Your tasks, notes, sketches, photos, scanned pages, voice memos, settings and home-screen widget content are saved only in Daybook's own private storage on your device. I can't see them, and neither can anyone else through Daybook.
Daybook contains no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking code, and it doesn't send your content to any server of mine.
Backups
- Device backups. If your phone backs up apps (for example iCloud Backup on iPhone, or Google backup on Android), Daybook's data can be part of that backup, handled by Apple or Google under their own terms.
- Backup files you make. Settings › Back up creates a file that you save or share wherever you choose. Where it goes, and who can read it, is up to you.
Permissions
Daybook asks for a permission only when you use the feature that needs it, and you can change any of them later in your device's settings.
- Camera — to take a photo or scan a page into a note.
- Photos — to add a picture you pick to a note, or to save a picture from a note to your library.
- Microphone — to record a voice memo or dictate.
- Speech recognition — to turn dictation into text. This uses your device's speech service (Apple on iPhone and iPad, Google on most Android phones), which may process the audio on its servers under its own privacy policy. Daybook itself doesn't keep or send the audio anywhere.
- Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint — to unlock locked notes or the app. Daybook never receives your face or fingerprint data, only whether the check succeeded.
- Notifications and alarms — to remind you about tasks and send a morning summary. These are scheduled on your device.
Services built into your device
Some features use parts of your phone's operating system: document scanning (Apple VisionKit on iPhone and iPad, Google's ML Kit document scanner on Android), photo picking, sharing, and speech recognition. They run under Apple's or Google's terms. Daybook gives them only what the feature needs — for example, the pages you scan.
Sharing
Daybook shares a note only when you ask it to — as text, an image, a PDF or a Markdown file through your device's share sheet. Once shared, it's handled by the app or person you shared it with.
Children
Daybook is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Deleting your data
Deleting a note moves it to Trash, where you can restore it or delete it for good; notes in Trash are removed automatically after 30 days. Uninstalling Daybook removes everything it stored on your device (copies in your own backups or shared files are yours to manage).
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at daybook.samandar.dev/privacy with a new effective date. If a change ever affected how your data is handled, it would be explained in the app first.
