Privacy
-
This policy describes how Denis Gomes, an individual operating as "monah" from Florida, USA ("monah", "we", "us") handles information when you use the monah desktop app or visit monahapp.com.
We aim to collect as little as possible. Your Notion content stays in Notion. We never sell or share your data with anyone other than the limited service providers listed below.
-
The app sends a small, fixed set of events to our server tied to a randomly generated per-install identifier. The identifier is not connected to your name, email, or Notion account. We use this to understand which flows work and which don't.
The full list of events the app sends:
- app.opened — every time you launch monah
- onboarding.databaseSelected, onboarding.completed — milestones during first-time Notion setup, fired once
- timer.started — when a focus session begins, with the interval duration in milliseconds
- timer.completed — when a focus session ends, with how many minutes were tracked
- pro.bannerClicked, pro.checkoutOpened — when you click the upgrade banner or open the Stripe checkout
- license.activated — when a Pro license is activated on this install, with no further details
Each event also carries the app version and the OS platform string (e.g.
darwin-arm64).What the app doesn't send: task names, Notion content, your email address, your hostname, error stack traces, browser fingerprints, or any kind of session recording. You can verify this with the Network tab in any browser-based debugger pointed at the app — every outbound request is in the open.
-
When you purchase monah Pro, we store the email address you used at checkout, your license key, and a record of which devices you activated on (an opaque hardware fingerprint plus a label like the machine name). This is what makes activation, deactivation, and support email recovery possible.
-
Messages sent to support@monahapp.com are stored on our server so we can answer them. Outbound license emails we send to you are also stored alongside them.
-
When you connect Notion, the app reads tasks from the database you explicitly grant access to and writes back the time you tracked. Notion content is held in the app's memory while it's open and is not stored on our servers.
-
On monahapp.com we use Google Analytics to understand which pages convert to downloads. This runs only on the marketing site, not in the app. You can block it with any standard browser-level privacy tool.
-
- On your Mac, in the standard application support directory.
-
On our server (
monahapp.com) — license records, the anonymous events log, and the email log. - With third-party processors listed below. They're contractually bound to use the data only to provide their service.
-
- Stripe — processes payments. Stripe sees your card details; we don't.
- Resend — sends transactional email (license keys, recovery).
- CloudMailin — receives email sent to
support@monahapp.comand forwards it to our server. - Notion — reads the workspace and databases you explicitly authorize via OAuth. You can revoke access anytime in Notion's connection settings.
- Google Analytics — measures website traffic only.
- Cloudflare — DNS and email routing for the
monahapp.comdomain.
-
You can ask us at support@monahapp.com to:
- see the data we hold about you;
- delete your license records and any stored email correspondence;
- opt your install out of anonymous analytics (we'll exclude your install identifier on the server side);
- correct anything wrong.
California residents have specific rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and to request deletion. We honor those requests for everyone, regardless of state, by the same email above.

monah is not intended for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
-
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and refresh the effective date at the top. For material changes, we'll surface a notice in the app or by email when we have your address.
