PathKept Privacy Policy

Effective May 16, 2026

The Short Version

PathKept has no account, telemetry, analytics, or PathKept cloud service. PathKept stores its app database in its sandbox container.

What PathKept Does Not Do

No account creation or login.
No analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting to third-party services.
No advertising identifiers or tracking.
No cloud sync. Not via iCloud, not via CloudKit, not via any DawkedUp Productions server.
No AI processing. No data is sent to any language model or external API.
No reading of calendars, reminders, or any system data without your explicit permission.

Data You Create in PathKept

Tasks, projects, notes, and any other content you create in PathKept is stored locally on your Mac in PathKept’s app data folder. This data is yours. PathKept does not send or sync this data.

Because PathKept is sandboxed, macOS keeps that folder under your user Library at ~/Library/Containers/com.dawkedupproductions.pathkept/Data/Library/Application Support/PathKept/. The simplest way to find or delete it is to open Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library > Containers > PathKept.

Automatic local backup is on by default. PathKept writes timestamped JSON backup files to the local Backups folder inside its Application Support folder unless you choose a different folder in Settings. PathKept does no cloud sync. If you choose iCloud Drive or another synced folder, that folder follows your sync settings. No account.

If you uninstall PathKept, you can fully erase your data by deleting that folder.

Permissions PathKept May Ask For

PathKept asks your permission before accessing certain Mac features. All access is local to your device.

Calendar (full access): Read events from calendars you select to display them as your hard landscape. PathKept can also create finite onboarding mini-review events. PathKept does not write any other events.
Reminders (full access): Read items from the Reminders list you choose, so items captured with Siri flow into your PathKept inbox. After an item is ingested, PathKept marks that reminder as completed in Apple Reminders so the same item is not captured twice. PathKept does not edit reminder text, create new reminders, or touch reminders in any list you did not choose.
Drop folder (a folder you pick): If you choose to configure a drop folder (for example, an iCloud-synced screenshots folder), PathKept watches that one folder for new image files and copies them into its own local attachments directory so they appear in your inbox. PathKept does not modify or delete the original files, does not follow symlinks out of the folder, and does not look anywhere else on your disk.

You can revoke these permissions any time in System Settings > Privacy & Security.

Children

PathKept is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change what PathKept does with your data, we will update this page and the version in the app. The effective date above will change.
