Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 12, 2026

The short version

My Next: Note is an offline-first app. Your personal content — your notes and notebooks — is stored on your own devices. We don't collect it, we don't see it, we don't sell it.

Enabling Apple Watch transfers eligible notes between your paired devices. Separately, the app uses two external services, neither of which receives your notes.

Optional product analytics. General app and feature activity helps us understand usage and improve the app. Events use a randomly generated identifier, not your name or email, and contain no note content. You can turn this off completely in Settings, and the app works exactly the same either way.

Subscription information. To offer My Next: Extra, the app works with RevenueCat, our subscription provider. It sends a randomly generated customer ID and handles your App Store purchase and entitlement status — never your name, your email address, or your card details. This is how Extra unlocks, how restoring a purchase works, and how one Extra subscription activates across Todo, List, and Note. It is required for subscriptions to function, so it is not covered by the analytics switch.

You never need an account or an email address to use My Next: Note.

Data storage

Your notes are stored locally using Apple's Core Data framework. You can choose to export or back up your content, or enable transfers to your paired Apple Watch. We do not operate a server that stores your notes.

Apple Watch and dictation

When you enable Apple Watch in Note's iPhone settings, eligible, unlocked notes are transferred to your paired watch and stored locally so you can read them without a live connection. Notes created on the watch are kept in a local queue until they can be transferred to your iPhone.

Changes that remove access to a note or disable watch access need to reach the watch before its local copy can be removed. An offline watch may therefore retain a previous copy until the devices reconnect.

Voice input uses Apple's system dictation to produce text. Its processing, supported languages, and need for an internet connection depend on Apple and your device settings. Note does not send your dictated note content to OpenPanel or RevenueCat.

Autosave

My Next: Note automatically saves your work on every edit. This autosave happens entirely on-device — nothing you write is transmitted to any server during the save process.

Product analytics

We use OpenPanel to understand general app and feature usage, getting started, broad patterns of creating and revisiting notes, and interactions with features and subscription flows. Coarse activity summaries help us improve the app without collecting what you write. Technical context, such as app version and language, and event timestamps help us interpret these patterns.

A randomly generated analytics identifier groups activity from the same app installation. It is not derived from your Apple ID, name, email address, or advertising identifier. It is separate from the subscription customer ID described below. A random identifier can distinguish activity over time even though it does not tell us your name.

The app does not include note titles, note contents, notebook names, names, email addresses, or payment-card details in its analytics events. These events are used to understand usage and improve the app. They are not used for advertising, not used for advertising tracking across other apps or websites, not used to build marketing profiles, and never sold to data brokers.

Turning analytics off

Analytics is a single switch in the app's Settings. Turn it off and it stays off — there is no re-prompt and no expiry.

  • No further analytics events are sent.
  • Any events still queued on your device waiting to be sent are deleted instead.

One honest caveat: turning analytics off stops everything from that moment forward, but it does not automatically delete events that OpenPanel already received before you switched it off. If you would like those removed as well, email us and we will arrange it.

To be clear about what the switch does not cover: it turns off the optional OpenPanel analytics only. It does not affect RevenueCat, which handles subscriptions and has to run for Extra to work at all. That is described in the next section.

What the app does not send to our analytics and subscription providers

  • No note titles, note contents, or notebook names
  • No names or email addresses
  • No advertising identifiers or cross-app advertising tracking
  • No GPS location collected by the app
  • No contacts or calendar data
  • No card numbers or payment details — Apple processes every payment, and card information never reaches us or any of our providers

Subscriptions and My Next: Extra

My Next: Note offers its own per-app Extra subscription and Tip Jar, processed by Apple through the App Store. My Next: Extra — a cross-app subscription that activates Extra in Todo, List, and Note — is an additional option.

Subscriptions are handled by RevenueCat, a subscription-management service acting as our data processor. Being straightforward about the timing: RevenueCat starts when the app starts, not only when you buy something. The app needs it running to load the current offerings and to check whether you already have Extra, so this applies to everyone who opens the app — not only to subscribers.

What the app sends to RevenueCat:

  • A randomly generated My Next customer ID. It contains no name, no email address, or other direct personal identifier. It is pseudonymous: it identifies a customer record and associated purchases without naming you.

The ID is generated on your device the first time it is needed and kept in a shared keychain entry that Todo, List, and Note can all read. That shared entry is the entire mechanism behind “one subscription, three apps” — it is why Extra works everywhere without you ever creating an account.

What RevenueCat processes on our behalf:

  • Your purchase and subscription history, as reported by Apple
  • Which products and entitlements are active
  • Related subscription information received from Apple

What it is used for:

  • Validating App Store receipts
  • Preventing fraud
  • Unlocking and enabling Extra features
  • Restoring access to a purchase you already made
  • Sharing one Extra entitlement across the My Next app family, so a single subscription works in Todo, List, and Note
  • Subscription analytics — how many subscriptions renew or lapse

RevenueCat never receives your payment-card information. Apple processes all payments, and card details never pass through the app. None of this data is used for advertising or for tracking you across other companies' apps and websites.

Because Extra cannot work without it, RevenueCat is not covered by the analytics switch in Settings. The switch governs the optional OpenPanel analytics only. See RevenueCat's privacy policy for details.

Data export and deletion

You can export your data at any time from within the app. Deleting the app removes its local content on that device, but does not erase exports, backups, or copies on another device. For Apple Watch copies, the transfer and removal limits above apply. We have no server backups of your content and cannot recover it.

Worth knowing before you share a backup file: if you have My Next: Extra, the backup also carries your My Next customer ID. That is deliberate — it is how Extra follows you to a replacement phone when you restore a backup, without you needing an account. It does mean a backup file is a private document. Anyone you hand it to receives both your content and a handle that could unlock Extra, so treat it the way you would treat any personal file.

Third-party services

My Next: Note uses no advertising services and no cross-app tracking services. The external services involved are:

  • OpenPanel — the analytics processor that receives the product analytics described above. Nothing you write in the app is sent to OpenPanel, and the events are never used for advertising or sold on. See OpenPanel's privacy policy for details.
  • RevenueCat — our subscription data processor. It receives a randomly generated My Next customer ID plus the purchase and entitlement information Apple reports, and uses it for receipt validation, fraud prevention, unlocking and restoring Extra, sharing Extra across the My Next apps, and subscription analytics. It starts with the app rather than only at purchase time, receives no card details, and is never used for advertising or cross-company tracking. It is required for subscriptions and is not covered by the analytics switch. See RevenueCat's privacy policy for details.
  • Apple App Store — processes all purchases and subscription transactions, including all payment details.
  • Apple Keychain — stores the My Next customer ID in a shared keychain group on your own device, so Todo, List, and Note recognise the same Extra subscription. The ID is also used in the RevenueCat exchange and app backups described above.

Future changes

If we introduce optional cloud sync in the future, it will be entirely opt-in. Your data will remain local by default, and any sync feature will use end-to-end encryption. We will update this policy before introducing any such feature.
