Everything Vene knows about you, on one page.
Last updated July 2026.
Vene builds you a day you can finish, and that means it has to earn your trust about what it can see. This page is the whole truth, written plainly, because we would rather you read it and relax than skim a wall of legal text and wonder.
What Vene watches
Your Reminders and your Calendar, and only once you grant access. Vene reads the tasks and events already on your Mac so it can see where your time is free and place your work into it. That is all it looks at, and the day it builds from it never leaves your machine.
What never leaves your Mac
Everything about your day stays exactly where you typed it. Your task titles and notes, your calendar and reminders, your schedule, your practices and how often you keep them, your settings, all of it lives in a database on your own machine and nowhere else. None of your schedule or task data ever leaves your Mac. The only server that ever stores anything of yours, api.venehq.com, holds just the waitlist email you typed on this website, and nothing else. There is no analytics vendor watching how you use the app, because we did not add one either.
The network calls Vene makes
Vene's network activity is short enough to list in full, so here it is, complete:
First, Vene checks for its own updates. On its own schedule it asks our update feed, venehq.com/appcast.xml, whether a newer version exists and downloads one if so. This is the one call it makes on its own, and it carries none of your data. Second, Vene checks your license with Lemon Squeezy, the company that actually sells Vene and processes your payment, to confirm you are a paying subscriber; it sends your license key and a device identifier, and Lemon Squeezy, like any web request, also sees your IP address. Third, if you join the waitlist before launch, this website sends the one email address you typed into that form, so we can write to you the day Vene ships. That is the entire list. No analytics SDK, no crash reporter phoning home in the background, no telemetry of any kind.
Where it lives on disk
Your data sits in one folder, ~/Library/Application Support/Vene, in plain local databases that Vene reads and writes on your Mac. If you ever want to leave, delete the app and that one folder. Everything Vene stored about your day is gone. Tasks and calendar entries you created still live in Apple Reminders and Calendar, where they always were.
No accounts
There is no account to create, no profile to fill in, and no password to lose. Your license is tied to your purchase through Lemon Squeezy, not to a username or a login we control, so there is no account of yours for us to hold in the first place.
If this page changes
If we ever change what Vene watches or where its network calls go, we will update this page in plain language and change the date at the top, so you can always tell at a glance whether anything here still applies.
