This Privacy Policy explains how Taewoong Heo ("Taewoong Heo", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the env mobile application ("env" or the "App").
env is an iOS focus environment app. It helps you create local Focus Envs, save timer, sound, app blocking, widget, notification, and focus session settings, and start those environments when you want to focus.
env stores the following information locally:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Focus Env settings | Env names, colors, timer settings, break settings, sound settings, app blocking settings, allowed app selection data | To save and run your focus environments |
| Focus session records | Session start and end time, elapsed focus time, session env snapshot, timezone metadata | To show local focus stats and session history |
| Preferences | Onboarding completion, theme, language, haptics, notification preferences, widget env selection | To keep the app configured the way you chose |
| Local alarm metadata | Daily cue and focus or break alert preferences and schedule data | To schedule local notifications |
| Screen Time selection data | App, category, or web domain selections represented by Apple Screen Time / Family Controls data | To apply the app blocking configuration you chose |
This local data is stored using on-device storage such as SQLite and local preferences. It is not uploaded to our servers.
If you enable notifications, env uses local notifications for focus cues and session alerts. These notifications are scheduled on your device. Notification settings and schedule metadata are used to deliver the alerts you selected.
You can change notification permission in iOS Settings.
