Your data is yours.

What Chime stores

Chime saves your preferences — sound choice, volume, interval, quiet hours, and Focus mode settings — locally on your Mac using macOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device.

What Chime does not do

• Chime does not collect analytics or usage data.
• Chime does not use any third-party SDKs, trackers, or advertising frameworks.
• Chime does not require an account or sign-in.
• Chime does not connect to the internet for any reason.
• Chime does not require any special macOS permissions.

Focus mode

Chime reads your macOS Focus/Do Not Disturb state to silence chimes when you've asked not to be disturbed. This check is performed locally and no data is sent anywhere.

Children's privacy

Chime does not collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted here. Given that Chime collects no data, changes are unlikely.
