Privacy Policy

Last updated 12 November 2026 · Applies to Hora for Mac and iPhone

Hora is a calendar, task board and assistant made by Alex Neto. It's built so that your information stays with you: Hora has no account, no server of its own, no analytics and no advertising.

Your calendars

With your permission, Hora reads and changes events through Apple's calendar system (EventKit), using the accounts you've added to your device, such as Google, iCloud, Exchange or CalDAV. Changes you make are saved to those accounts by your device and synced by those services under their own privacy policies. Hora doesn't copy your events anywhere else.

Your tasks and settings

Tasks, calendar colours and preferences are stored on your device and in your own iCloud account, so they appear on your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. The developer can't see them.

The assistant

• Basic works entirely on your device.
• Apple Intelligence is processed by Apple on your device or with Apple's Private Cloud Compute, under Apple's privacy policy.
• Claude is optional. If you choose it and enter your own Anthropic API key, what you ask the assistant — with the parts of your schedule needed to answer, such as upcoming event times and titles and your account names — is sent to Anthropic to prepare the event or task. It's sent with your key, under Anthropic's privacy policy. Your key is stored in your iCloud Keychain.

Nothing the assistant suggests is added until you press Add.

Microphone and speech

The microphone is used only after you press it in the assistant. Speech is turned into text by Apple's speech recognition, on your device where possible, or by Apple's servers. Hora doesn't keep recordings.

Widgets and notifications

The desktop widget reads a short list of your upcoming events that Hora keeps on your device. Notifications are scheduled on your device.

What Hora doesn't do

• No tracking across apps or websites, and no advertising.
• No analytics or crash-reporting services inside the app.
• No selling or sharing of your information.
