Privacy Policy
Not Now does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Everything stays on your device.
Overview
Not Now is a macOS menu bar application developed by Good Bar. It is designed to help you park thoughts for later so you can stay focused. We take your privacy seriously and have built the app with privacy as a core principle.
Data Collection
Not Now does not collect any data. Specifically:
- No personal information is collected
- No usage analytics or telemetry is collected
- No thought content is shared with third parties
- No advertising identifiers are used
- No cookies or tracking technologies are used
Data Storage
All app data — including your parked thoughts and settings — is stored locally on your Mac using macOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device.
The following information is stored locally:
- Your parked thoughts (text and timestamp)
- Your launch-at-login preference
Clipboard Access
When you click a thought to copy it, Not Now writes the thought text to your system clipboard. This is a user-initiated action and the clipboard contents are managed entirely by macOS. Not Now does not read from the clipboard.
Network Access
Not Now 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
Not Now 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
Not Now 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, storing preferences locally, and writing to the clipboard on user action.
Children's Privacy
Not Now 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 Not Now does not collect data, we do not anticipate significant changes.
