The short version
Timbo helps you manage tasks, lists and habits. You don’t need a name, email or password to get started.
Personal planner data is stored on your device. If you enable synchronization where it is available on your platform, the corresponding data is also stored on Timbo’s server. Shared lists are stored on the server and are visible to their members. When you use the AI assistant, your request and the context needed for a reply are sent for processing.
We do not sell your data. Timbo has no advertising trackers.
What data Timbo needs
Timbo uses your tasks, lists, habits and settings to help you plan. To reply, the assistant may need your request, current tasks and recent messages, as well as your language and time zone. If you ask the assistant to work with a shared list, that list’s context is included.
Shared lists use a profile name, member details, tasks, notes, dates, subtasks and change history. This data is visible to the members of the corresponding list.
AI assistant
When you send a message, its text and context are sent over an encrypted connection to Timbo’s server and external AI services to prepare a reply.
These services process data under their own terms and privacy policies.
Voice input
Voice input starts when you choose to use it and grant permission. On iPhone, system speech recognition runs on the device or uses Apple’s services. On other devices, it uses the selected system speech recognition service; depending on the service and language, that service may send audio to its provider for processing.
In an available on-device recognition mode, audio is processed locally. On iPhone, you can download an NVIDIA model for this; on other devices, this mode is available when the installed system service supports it. The ordinary system mode does not guarantee that audio stays on the device.
If you explicitly enable HD recognition, your recording is sent to Timbo’s server and ElevenLabs for transcription. Timbo’s server does not persist the audio; ElevenLabs processing is governed by that provider’s terms. The task assistant receives the recognized text. You can disable HD in Timbo Settings and change microphone permission in your device settings.
Storage and deletion
Personal tasks, lists, habits and history are stored on your device. When personal synchronization is enabled, tasks, notes, dates, repeats, reminders, habits with schedules and completion records, and display preferences are stored on Timbo’s server and sent over HTTPS to connected devices and the web app. Availability depends on the platform. This exchange does not include photos, contacts, personal lists or AI conversations. Connect another device or browser using a single-use link from a device that supports pairing; revoke access in Settings.
Shared lists synchronize through Timbo’s server independently of personal synchronization. A device connected by link can access the iPhone account’s personal tasks, habits and shared lists as the same member; revoking the connection ends this access. The web app keeps a local copy of data and pending changes in browser storage. Browser sessions use a cookie for authorization. AI responses and request processing records are also kept on the server so retries work correctly.
Delete tasks, lists and history in the app. Deleting your account in Timbo Settings removes its associated data from the live server databases and revokes connected devices. On an additional device connected to an iPhone account, deleting the local account clears this device and revokes its connection; delete the primary iPhone account from iPhone. Data in shared lists owned by another member may remain with their members. Deletion markers are retained to prevent reuse of a deleted account and restoration of its data from backups.
With normal rotation, backups of the shared-list database are usually kept for up to seven days; deleted data may remain in these copies until they are removed. When restoring a backup, the deletion journal must be applied before access to the service is opened.
Turning off synchronization stops transfers on this device but does not erase previously stored server data. Removing the app does not erase server data. Local copies remain on disconnected devices and in browsers until they synchronize or their local storage is cleared.
Crash reports
To find and fix bugs, the Timbo apps send reports about crashes, errors and freezes to the Sentry service. A report contains a technical description of the error, the device model, and the system and app versions.
Reports don't include your tasks, lists, messages, name, email or IP address. We don't collect performance data, screen recordings or screenshots. Reports are used only to fix bugs and never for advertising.
