Privacy Policy

Last updated June 27, 2026

Fourfold is built so your life stays your own. Everything you put into the app, your goals, tasks, journal, and progress, lives on your devices, and in your private iCloud if you turn sync on. We don’t run servers that collect it, there are no accounts to sign into, and nothing you create is ever sold or shared. The one thing Fourfold gathers is a small amount of anonymous usage data that helps us see which parts of the app people use, so we can make it better. It can’t identify you, it never includes anything you write, and you can turn it off with a single tap in Settings.

The short version

What Fourfold keeps

To do its job, Fourfold saves the things you create: your goals and their breakdowns, tasks, routines, habits, journal entries, bosses, and your progress history, along with your settings. This is stored on your device using Apple’s standard on-device storage.

iCloud sync

If you leave iCloud Sync on (it’s on by default), your data is backed up to and kept in step through your own private iCloud account, so it’s safe if you reinstall Fourfold and stays consistent across your devices. This uses Apple’s CloudKit inside your personal iCloud. It’s covered by Apple’s privacy policy, and we have no access to it. You can turn iCloud Sync off anytime in Settings to keep everything only on the device you’re using.

Calendar

If you turn on Calendar sync, Fourfold adds your timed tasks to a dedicated “Fourfold” calendar through Apple’s Calendar. Fourfold only ever writes its own events. It never reads your other calendars or events. This stays off until you choose to enable it, and you can turn it off anytime.

Anonymous usage analytics

To understand how Fourfold is actually used, and where to improve it, the app sends a small amount of anonymous usage data: things like which screens you open, which features you use, and how long a session lasts. This is handled by TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service built for exactly this. It’s designed so the data can’t be traced back to you: there’s no advertising identifier, no cross-app tracking, and your device is turned into an anonymous code that can’t be reversed.

It never includes anything you write. Your goals, task names, journal entries, and reminders are never sent. Only anonymous events like “opened the Progress tab” or “completed a task” are counted.

This is on by default. You can turn it off completely in Settings › Analytics, and with it off Fourfold sends nothing and works fully offline.

What we don’t do

Fourfold has no advertising, no third-party trackers that follow you across apps or the web, and no kits that harvest your personal information. We don’t collect your name, contacts, location, or anything you type, and we never sell, rent, or share your data. The only data that ever leaves your device is the anonymous usage analytics described above, and only while you leave them on.

You’re in control

Because your data lives with you, you decide what happens to it. Delete any item in the app to remove it. Deleting Fourfold removes everything stored on that device; if iCloud Sync is on, you can manage or remove the iCloud copy from your device’s iCloud settings.

Children

Fourfold isn’t directed at children under 13. It doesn’t collect personal information that could identify anyone, child or adult, and the anonymous usage data it does gather can’t be traced back to a person.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, we’ll update it here and revise the date above. Our approach is simply not to collect your data, so we don’t expect that to change in any meaningful way.
