Privacy Policy
Count Down does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Everything stays on your device.
Overview
Count Down is a macOS menu bar application developed by Good Bar. It is designed to help you track countdowns to upcoming events. We take your privacy seriously and have built the app with privacy as a core principle.
Data Collection
Count Down does not collect any data. Specifically:
- No personal information is collected
- No usage analytics or telemetry is collected
- No event data is shared with third parties
- No advertising identifiers are used
- No cookies or tracking technologies are used
Data Storage
All app data — including your countdown events, display preferences, and settings — is stored locally on your Mac using macOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device.
The following information is stored locally:
- Your countdown events (name and target date)
- Which countdown is active in the menu bar
- Your display preferences (show name in menu bar)
- Your launch-at-login preference
Network Access
Count Down does not connect to the internet. The app does not make any network requests and does not require an internet connection to function.
Third-Party Services
Count Down does not integrate with or send data to any third-party services, SDKs, or frameworks beyond the standard macOS system frameworks provided by Apple.
App Sandbox
Count Down runs within the macOS App Sandbox, which limits the app's access to system resources and other apps. The app only accesses what it needs to function: displaying a menu bar icon, showing a popover, and storing preferences locally.
Children's Privacy
Count Down does not collect data from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The app is safe for users of all ages.
Changes to This Policy
If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Since Count Down does not collect data, we do not anticipate significant changes.
