Hunker

Privacy Policy

Hunker does not collect any information about you. No account, no analytics, no tracking, and no data sent anywhere. Everything Hunker records stays on your Mac.

What Hunker stores, and where it lives

Hunker keeps a small amount of data so the timer works across launches. All of it is written inside the app's own sandbox container on your Mac, and none of it leaves the device.

Session history
Start and end time, planned and actual length, whether the session was a focus interval or a break, and the optional label you typed.
Preferences
Your durations, sound choice, theme, and other settings.
Widget snapshot
Today's focused minutes and your current streak, shared with Hunker's own desktop widget so it can draw them.

Removing Hunker removes this data with it. You can also clear your preferences at any time from Preferences → Advanced.

Why Hunker cannot send your data anywhere

This is not only a promise. Hunker is sandboxed and ships without the com.apple.security.network.client entitlement, so macOS itself prevents the app from opening a network connection. There is no server to send anything to, and no code in Hunker that would try.

Concretely, Hunker never:

Purchasing Hunker Pro

Hunker Pro is a one-time in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Your payment details go to Apple and are never seen by Hunker or by its developer. Hunker only asks the operating system whether this Apple Account owns the unlock, and receives a yes or a no. Apple's handling of that transaction is covered by the Apple Privacy Policy.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, Hunker asks macOS to show one alert when a session or break ends. These are scheduled locally on your Mac. Hunker uses no push notification service, so nothing about your sessions is transmitted in order to deliver them. Declining notifications leaves the rest of the app fully functional.

Exporting your history

Hunker Pro can export your session history as a CSV file. You choose when to do this and where the file is saved. It is the only route by which your data leaves the app, and it is never automatic.

Children

Hunker is suitable for all ages and collects no information.

Changes to this policy

If Hunker ever changes what it stores or gains the ability to reach the network, this page will be updated before that version ships, and the effective date above will change with it.
