Privacy Policy

Meanwhile is an independent project based in Switzerland. If you have any question about this policy, write to us at hello@getmeanwhile.today.

On Android, with your permission (“Usage access”), Meanwhile sees which app is in the foreground and for how long — but only to time sessions in the apps you selected. It never sees what you do inside those apps: no messages, posts, content, passwords or keystrokes.

Your session history (which app, when it started, how long it lasted) and your settings are stored only on your device. There is no account, and we don’t upload, sell or share your data.

Deleting the app — or tapping “Clear sessions” in Settings — deletes your data for good.

• Usage access — to detect which app is open.
• Display over other apps — to show the floating timer.
• Notifications — to send limit nudges.

Each of these can be turned off in your system settings at any time.

getmeanwhile.today may record basic, anonymous visit statistics through our hosting provider: pages viewed, country and device type. No advertising trackers.

If you join the waitlist, we store your email address and the date you signed up, only to tell you when Meanwhile launches. We don’t share it. Ask us to remove it anytime at hello@getmeanwhile.today.

Meanwhile is not directed at children under 13.

Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU GDPR, you can contact us with any privacy question or request at hello@getmeanwhile.today.

If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the date above.
