How TrackDown handles your data.
TrackDown is designed for local processing. There is no TrackDown account and no TrackDown server. What follows only covers data handled inside the app and through the integrations you choose to enable.
Overview
TrackDown is a time-tracking app for project-based work. It processes exactly the information required to sync, display, and export your projects and timer entries.
There is no TrackDown user account. No usage data, no tracking, and no analytics are sent to third parties.
Locally stored data
The following data is stored locally on your device – and, by default, only there:
- Projects (imported from Bear, Notion, or Obsidian)
- Timer entries with duration, hourly rate, notes, and status
- App settings (currency, date format, appearance, …)
- Configuration of enabled integrations
- Credentials for integrations (Bear token, Notion secret, …)
Persistence is handled via SwiftData. Credentials are kept on the device and only leave the app when the associated integration actually makes a request to the external service.
Optional iCloud sync
When you enable iCloud sync, projects, timers, and syncable settings are distributed across your devices through your personal iCloud (CloudKit). The data lives in your iCloud account and is not visible to TrackDown.
iCloud sync is optional. It can be turned on or off in settings at any time. On disable, the local state is rebuilt from the last visible cloud state.
The activation of an integration stays device-specific and is not synced through iCloud.
Third-party integrations
TrackDown can import projects from Bear, Notion, and Obsidian and write reports back. It communicates directly with each service using the credentials you provide.
Bear
Communication goes through
x-callback-url. TrackDown reads notes that
match the configured hashtag and writes export results
into the linked Bear note.
Notion
TrackDown uses the Internal Integration Secret you provide to read projects from the selected data source and to create or update native tables with export results on the linked pages.
Obsidian
TrackDown accesses the vault you share with it to read project notes and append reports.
The use of these integrations is subject to the privacy policy of the respective provider. TrackDown itself does not send any additional data to third parties.
Diagnostics & deletion
Under Advanced Settings, the
Diagnostics view shows the current store
state and the settings data held locally and in iCloud-KVS.
The information is displayed only on your device.
Delete All Data removes all projects, timers, and TrackDown settings on the device. With iCloud sync enabled, TrackDown's KVS data in iCloud is removed as well. Already-exported content in Bear, Notion, or Obsidian remains untouched – it is managed by the respective service.
No ads, no tracking
TrackDown contains no ads and no trackers. The app does not open connections to analytics, advertising, or any other third-party services. Network connections only happen where an active integration is communicating with its service.
Your rights
You can view, edit, or fully delete the data stored in TrackDown at any time – inside the app, and, with iCloud sync enabled, centrally via your iCloud account.
For questions about data processing by Bear, Notion, or Obsidian, please get in touch with the respective provider directly.
