Your calendar stays yours.
Nudgebar is built local-first. It reads your events on your Mac to show your next meeting and fire alerts — your schedule is never uploaded to a Nudgebar server, and there's no account to create.
01On your Mac, full stop
Your calendar data is read and processed on your device. Nudgebar uses it locally to display your upcoming events, merge concurrent meetings, and trigger the full-screen alert. It does not send your events, attendees, or meeting details to any Nudgebar-operated server.
- No Nudgebar account, sign-up, or login.
- No copy of your calendar stored off-device by us.
- Quitting the app stops all access immediately.
02Connecting calendar accounts
When you connect a source like Google, Outlook, or a CalDAV server, the authorization (an OAuth token or app-specific password) is stored in the macOS Keychain on your Mac and used only to read your calendars on-device. macOS Calendar is read through the system's permission prompt.
- Access is scoped to your calendar events — and to writing only where you explicitly allow it.
- You can revoke access at any time from the provider, or by removing the connection in Nudgebar.
03This website
nudgebar.io uses Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate traffic and a single “Download clicked” event so we can gauge interest. Google Analytics is a third-party service and may set cookies. We do not run advertising trackers, and we don't collect names, emails, or other personally identifying information from visitors.
04What Nudgebar never does
- Never sells or rents your data.
- Never shares your calendar with third parties.
- No advertising, no ad networks, no behavioral profiling.
- Your schedule never leaves your device by way of Nudgebar.
