Privacy Policy
Effective November 4, 2026
Anchorlight is a calm reminders and lists app. It is made by Filip Molčan, an independent developer in the Czech Republic. This page explains what happens to your data. The short version: Anchorlight does not collect any data. What you write stays on your devices and in your own iCloud.
What Anchorlight collects
Nothing. Anchorlight has no account, no server and no sign-in. There is no analytics, no tracking, no advertising and no third-party code in the app. Its App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected".
Where your data lives
Your lists, reminders, 10 Before I Die, Bucket List, people and Weekly Reviews are stored on your device. If iCloud is on, they sync between your iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own private iCloud database, which only you can access. Apple handles iCloud under Apple's Privacy Policy. We cannot see, read or recover anything stored there.
Apple Intelligence
On devices that support Apple Intelligence, Anchorlight uses Apple's on-device model to write My Anchor from your 10 Before I Die and Bucket List, and to suggest which of those items a reminder serves. This runs entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to us, to Apple or to anyone else, and nothing is linked without your choice.
What Anchorlight reads, and only with your permission
- Calendars: to show your events next to your reminders and find free evenings. Anchorlight never creates, changes or deletes an event.
- Reminders: only when you import from Apple Reminders, to copy the lists you choose. Anchorlight never changes or deletes anything in Apple Reminders.
- Contacts: to suggest people as you type a name. Only the name and photo of the contact you choose are copied. Nothing else is read or kept.
- Camera and photos: only to take or pick a photo you add, such as a list cover or a person's photo.
You can turn any of these off in your device's Settings at any time. Anchorlight works without them.
Notifications
Reminders, alarms and the Weekly Review reminder are scheduled on your device. No push server is involved.
Sharing
Anchorlight shares something only when you do it yourself: for example, a list as text or the anchorlight.md summary through the share sheet. Where it goes is up to you.
Feedback
If you send feedback from the app or write to us, we receive your email address and what you write. We use it only to reply and to improve Anchorlight, and we never share it. If you have turned on sharing with app developers in your device's settings, Apple may also send us anonymous crash reports.
Deleting your data
Settings › Data and Privacy › Erase All Data (on the Mac: Settings › iCloud & Data) removes everything Anchorlight stored on your devices and in iCloud. Deleting the app removes the data on that device. Apple Reminders and your calendars are never touched.
This website
anchorlight.app uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking. Like any website, its host processes your IP address to deliver the pages, and keeps it no longer than needed for that.
Children
Anchorlight is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date. Because Anchorlight collects nothing, we do not expect it to change in any way that affects you.
