Privacy Policy
TaskNxt is a free, open-source macOS menu bar task manager. It is built to keep your data on your Mac. This policy explains what the app stores, and what happens if you choose to connect Google Tasks.
Summary
- TaskNxt has no servers, no accounts of its own, no analytics, and no advertising.
- The developer does not receive, collect, or have access to your tasks or Google data.
- The only network traffic is the optional Google Tasks sync, directly between your Mac and Google.
Data stored on your Mac
- Tasks and settings: your tabs, tasks, due dates, archive, and preferences are saved in a local file (
store.jsonin your user Library folder). The file is readable only by your user account. - Google sign-in token: if you connect Google, the token is stored only in the macOS Keychain. It is never written to
store.json. - Google account email: saved in
store.jsonand shown in Settings so you can see which account is connected.
Google Tasks (optional)
Google Tasks sync is off until you press Connect in Settings. When you connect, TaskNxt asks Google for:
- Google Tasks access (
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks) to read and update your task lists and tasks. - OpenID and email to show the connected account's email address.
With that access, TaskNxt reads your task lists (names) and the tasks in lists you enable (title, completed state, due date) and creates, updates, completes, or deletes tasks to match changes you make in the app. This communication goes directly from your Mac to Google over HTTPS. It does not pass through any server operated by the developer.
Data obtained from Google is used only to provide this sync feature inside the app. It is not shared with or sold to anyone, not used for advertising, and not used to train AI or machine-learning models. No person, including the developer, reads your Google data.
TaskNxt's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Your choices and deleting your data
- Choose lists: turn individual Google lists on or off in Settings → Google.
- Disconnect: Settings → Google → Disconnect revokes TaskNxt's access at Google and deletes the token from your Keychain. Tabs and tasks already synced remain on your Mac as local data.
- Revoke from Google: you can also remove access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Delete local data: quit the app and delete the
TaskNxtfolder in~/Library/Application Support, and delete the app.
Children
TaskNxt is a general productivity tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
