Privacy Policy
Effective November 11, 2026
Minimal World Clock does not collect, store, or share any personal information.
What the app stores
Your choices (the cities in the Clock and Compare windows, your favorite cities, the theme, 12- or 24-hour time) and the windows' positions are saved on your Mac, inside the app's own storage and a storage area shared with its desktop widget, so they're kept between launches. This data never leaves your Mac.
macOS keeps it even after you move the app to the Trash. To remove it too, delete these folders:
~/Library/Containers/com.jaredmarkowitz.minimalworldclock~/Library/Containers/com.jaredmarkowitz.minimalworldclock.widget~/Library/Group Containers/Y7W4DC22F6.com.jaredmarkowitz.minimalworldclock
Open at login
If you turn on Open at login, the app asks macOS to add it to your login items. You can turn it off in the app's Settings or in System Settings → General → Login Items.
No tracking
The app contains no analytics, advertising, or third-party code, and makes no network connections. It reads your Mac's time zone and time format to show the right time; that information stays on your Mac.
If you've turned on "Share with app developers" in your Mac's Privacy & Security settings, Apple may share anonymous crash reports and usage statistics with developers, including me. Apple collects and anonymizes these; you can turn this off at any time in System Settings.
Children
The app collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
