CronMon
Privacy
What leaves your Mac
CronMon makes exactly two kinds of network call on its own: license validation to Polar (your license key, an activation id, and your Mac's name so the portal list is readable), at most once a day; and update checks to updates.uresk.net, described below. There is no tracking: no identifiers, no usage events, no crash reports, no account.
Update checks. About once a day, CronMon asks updates.uresk.net whether a newer version exists. The request says which version of CronMon you have and one word for its license state: in trial, licensed, trial ended, or license needs attention. We add that to a daily count per version and state — that count is all we keep. We don't store your IP address or anything else that could tell your Mac apart from anyone else's. Updates themselves still download from GitHub. You can turn off automatic update checks in CronMon's Settings (Settings… in the menu bar popover), under Updates: switch off Check for updates automatically.
CronMon reads your crontab and the launchd property lists on this Mac, and sends none of it anywhere.

getcronmon.com uses Google Analytics to count visits. Downloads are served by GitHub; purchases are handled by Polar, whose privacy policy covers checkout.
What stays on your Mac
Your license key and trial start (Keychain), your preferences, the cron runs CronMon observed while it was running, and the crontab backups it writes before every change it makes (~/Library/Application Support/CronMon/crontab-backups/). CronMon reads your crontab, the launchd property lists in the agent and daemon directories, what launchctl print reports, and your local mailbox at /var/mail/ when it exists, to show a job's last output. CronMon writes to your crontab only when you ask it to — disable or enable a line, add, edit or delete an entry, or change MAILTO or PATH — always after saving a backup of the whole crontab, and never to anything else on the Mac.
Purchases
Polar is the merchant of record. We see your email and license key; we do not see card details. After you buy, Polar shows you a discount code for our other apps. We send no other email.
