PRIVACY
Fikar collects nothing.
- The app sends nothing, ever. No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting. Its only network activity is fetching one tiny public text file a few times a day to see if a newer version exists; the request carries no identifiers and no data, and you can turn it off from the menu.
- Everything stays on your Mac. Your settings (reminder level, size) live in a local preferences file. Nothing else is stored.
- She does not watch what you do. The app reads only two things from macOS: how long since you last touched the keyboard or mouse (a single number, to know if you are at your desk), and your battery percentage. It never sees your screen, your keystrokes, or your files.
- This website counts visits and downloads anonymously using GoatCounter (open source, cookie-free, stores no personal data), plus standard server logs. No ad trackers, ever.

The anonymous install count
Once a day the app sends a single tiny request whose entire content
is one word from a fixed list: "installed" (once, at first launch),
"alive" (the daily heartbeat), "survived 6/12 hours" (first day only),
and "alive after 1/3/7/14/30/60 days" (once each). No identifier of any
kind: no device ID, no random token, no dates, no system details,
nothing that could tell two Macs apart. This is the only way I can
tell whether people actually keep Maa around or uninstall her, and it
is the entire extent of what the app ever transmits. You can verify
all of this in the source code on GitHub.
