Privacy Policy

What now is a task manager for Android by Jojo SW. This policy covers the What now Android app and this website. The app keeps tasks, notes, folders, tags, filters, and attachments on your device. It has no account system, advertising SDK, or analytics SDK. The app does not request the Android internet permission. Jojo SW does not receive, sell, or share app data.

Data on your device

What now stores the content you create: task titles, notes, folders, tags, smart filters, priorities, dates, repeat rules, reminder settings, completion history, view preferences, and copies of attachments. The app writes this data to its private storage. Tasks are in files/tasks.json and attachments are in files/attachments/.

When you add a file or receive one from another app, the app copies it into private storage before you save the task. If you close the editor without saving, the app deletes the unsaved copy after one day, the next time it saves a task. The app does not read other apps' data or scan your device.

Optional Android permissions

• Notifications (Android 13 and later): What now uses notifications for reminders. A reminder notification includes a Complete action. You can deny this permission and still use the app.
• Exact alarms: What now asks Android for exact alarm access. When access is unavailable, the app uses an inexact alarm and Android may delay the reminder.
• Start after restart: What now restores scheduled reminders after a device restart, an app update, or a clock or time-zone change. This receiver does not collect data.

You control these permissions in Android settings. The app does not request contacts, location, camera, microphone, or internet access.

Android backup and device transfer

Android backup is enabled for What now. When your device backup settings allow it, Android may copy app data, including tasks and attachments, to your Google backup or to a new device. Google handles that copy under its own privacy policy. You can change or turn off backup in Android settings.

Sharing and attachments

What now can receive text, links, images, and files from other apps through the Android Sharesheet. Received files are copied into private storage when the review screen opens. If you close the screen without saving the task, the app deletes the copy after one day, the next time it saves a task.

When you open an attachment, the app gives the app you choose temporary read access through a FileProvider URI. The receiving app handles the file under its own privacy policy. Markdown export writes a file to the location you choose in Android's file picker.

Retention, security, and deletion

App data stays in private app storage until you change or delete it. Android's app sandbox limits access by other apps. To delete one task, delete it in the app. To delete all app data, clear What now's storage in Android settings or uninstall the app. Exported Markdown files, shared copies, and device backups are outside the app's storage and must be deleted separately. Jojo SW does not keep server-side app records.

Children and personal information

What now does not ask users, including children, to create an account or provide a name, email address, location, contacts, messages, photos, payment information, or advertising identifier.
