Privacy Policy

Effective June 12, 2026

The short version

Noatery is local-first software. Your entries live on your device in a SQLite database. No account is required. Nothing leaves your device unless you opt into anonymous usage analytics.

Who we are

Noatery is made by ChainFrame Private Limited ("we", "us"). If you have questions about this policy, contact us at nitin@chainframe.com.

What data stays on your device

All of the following is stored locally in SQLite on your Mac and never transmitted to us:

  • Entry text, timestamps, tags, and project names
  • Full-text search index
  • App preferences and settings

Analytics (optional, anonymous)

If analytics are enabled in the app, we collect anonymous usage events through PostHog to understand how features are used. These events include things like feature usage counts and entry count buckets. They never include entry text, tags, or any content you've written.

A random identifier (UUID) is generated per install and stored in local storage. It is not linked to your name, email, Apple ID, or device identifier.

You can opt out of analytics in Settings at any time. If analytics are disabled, no data is collected or transmitted.

What we do not collect

  • No account registration or login
  • No advertising or ad tracking
  • No crash reporting
  • No location, contacts, health, financial, or biometric data
  • No third-party data sharing or selling

Deleting your data

Because your data is stored locally, deleting the app removes your data from that device.

Children's privacy

Noatery is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available at noatery.com/privacy with the effective date shown above.
