The Basics

  • DropTask has no accounts, sign-in or servers of its own. Todoist, if you choose it, is your Todoist account; OmniFocus, if you choose it, is the OmniFocus app on the same device.
  • No analytics, crash reporting, advertising or third-party SDKs.
  • It never asks for your location.
  • It sells, shares or transfers no data to anyone.

Stored on Your Device

  • Your settings, including the home and work addresses you type or pick.
  • Today’s remaining count, so the widgets and the watch complication work without opening the app.
  • Your Todoist token, in your Keychain. With iCloud Keychain on, Apple carries it to your other devices as it does your passwords, end-to-end encrypted. Your project names and colors and your label names are cached.
  • Your OmniFocus project and tag names, when you fetch them.
  • Nothing else. Tasks are saved straight into Reminders, Todoist or OmniFocus. DropTask keeps no copy.

Permissions

  • Reminders. To read your lists, add reminders and count what’s due today. With Todoist or OmniFocus as the destination, the Mac app doesn’t ask; the iPhone app still does, for the widget and the watch.
  • Contacts. Optional. From the card you choose, DropTask reads only the home and work addresses and your first name, for the address titles, and keeps a reference to the card to follow your edits. You can type the addresses instead.

Locations

When you attach a place, DropTask sends the place name and your home or work address, as the search center, to Apple’s Maps service for coordinates, under Apple’s privacy policy. Nothing goes anywhere else, and the results aren’t kept.

Todoist (optional)

Only with Todoist as the destination and a token pasted in. Otherwise nothing is sent to Todoist or asked of it.

  • Sent, with each task you add: its name, notes, project, labels, priority, due date, repeat, and for a place its name, coordinates, arriving or leaving, and radius. Your token goes with every request.
  • Read, when you connect and when you open DropTask: your project names and colors, label names, and plan features.
  • All of it goes to Todoist alone, under Todoist’s privacy policy.

OmniFocus (optional)

Everything happens on your device, between the two apps. DropTask makes no network request for it.

  • Handed over, with each task you add: its name, notes, project, due date, repeat, a flag for the highest priority, and tags. OmniFocus tells DropTask the task was made, nothing more.
  • Read: the names of your active and on-hold projects and tags, by a short script OmniFocus shows you to approve. It runs when you tap Refresh Projects and Tags, when you open DropTask on the Mac while OmniFocus is running, and with each task you send on the iPhone. Nothing else is read, and nothing is changed.
  • What OmniFocus does with your tasks from there is under The Omni Group’s privacy policy.

Other Apple Services

  • Reminders sync. Once saved, a reminder syncs through iCloud like any other. That is Apple’s system.
  • Apple Watch. Today’s count passes from your iPhone to your watch over Apple’s device-to-device connection, not the internet.

DropTask makes no other network requests.

Children

DropTask does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
