Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 3, 2026

Overview

devglow and todoglow (collectively, "the Apps") are designed with privacy in mind. We believe your data is your business, not ours.

Data Collection

We do not collect:

  • Your project names, paths, or configurations (devglow)
  • Your todos, notes, or any content you create (todoglow)
  • Your process logs or output
  • Any personal information from your applications

Your todos, projects, and personal data stay on your Mac. The Apps communicate with external servers only for license verification, trial registration, optional AI features, and anonymous analytics — as described in the sections below.

AI Polish Feature (todoglow)

todoglow includes an optional AI Polish feature that can use Google's Gemini API or OpenAI's API to help polish your text. This feature requires you to provide your own API key for your chosen provider.

  • Text you choose to polish is sent directly to your chosen AI provider (Google Gemini or OpenAI)
  • Your API key is stored locally on your device and is never sent to us
  • We do not have access to your polished text or API usage
  • This feature is entirely optional and disabled by default

Please review Google's Gemini API Terms and OpenAI's Terms of Use for their respective data handling practices.

Free Trial

The Apps offer a 7-day free trial. When the trial begins, a device identifier (hardware UUID) and trial start/expiry dates are stored on our server to prevent abuse. No personal information, name, email, or IP address is stored alongside this data.

Trial eligibility records are retained to prevent abuse.

License Verification

For license verification, the Apps communicate with our server to validate your purchase. This includes only the license key and a device identifier necessary for activation. Payment is processed securely through Polar (powered by Stripe). We never see or store your payment card details.

Analytics

Our website (devglow.app) uses Google Analytics and Umami to understand how visitors find and use our site.

The desktop applications send minimal, anonymous usage data to help us improve the Apps:

  • App version
  • Selected theme (todoglow only)
  • Device identifier (same one used for license activation)

No personal data, project names, commands, paths, or todo content is included. These events are sent irregularly (not on every launch) and are used solely for understanding which versions and features are in active use.

Data Storage

Your configurations, preferences, and data are stored locally on your device in each application's data folder. We do not have access to this data.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Polar - Payment processing and license management (powered by Stripe)
  • Google Analytics - Website analytics
  • Umami - Website analytics (privacy-friendly)
  • Google Gemini API - Optional AI text polishing (todoglow, user-provided API key)
  • OpenAI API - Optional AI text polishing (todoglow, user-provided API key)

Data Retention

Trial and license activation data (device identifier and dates) is retained for the duration of use to ensure proper functionality and prevent abuse. Anonymous analytics events are not tied to identifiable individuals and are retained indefinitely in aggregate form.

Your Rights

Depending on your location (including the EU/EEA under GDPR, California under CCPA, and other jurisdictions), you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the data we hold about your device
  • Request deletion of your trial or license data
  • Object to processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@devglow.app and we'll be happy to assist.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the date at the top of this page.
