Selective Data Deletion

Delete Your Data

🗑️ Control what stays. Delete specific data from your account while keeping your account and settings intact. Your account remains active.

Selective Data Deletion

Don't want to delete your entire account? You can request deletion of specific types of data while keeping your account active. This is useful if you want to:

  • Clear old task history or completed tasks
  • Remove focus session recordings or time tracking data
  • Delete mood logs or journal entries
  • Erase health/wellness tracking information
  • Remove data from a specific date range
  • Start fresh while preserving your account

Your account, preferences, and ongoing routines can remain unchanged — only the data you select is deleted.

Important Notes About Data Deletion

⚠️ Deleted data cannot be recovered. Once you request deletion of specific data, it cannot be restored. However, some technical logs are retained for 30-90 days before permanent purging, and we can recover them during that window if needed.

What Stays If You Don't Delete

The following data remains even if you delete other categories:

  • Account profile: Your name, email, username (if you don't request profile deletion)
  • Active routines & templates: Current routines you're using
  • Active goals: Goals you haven't marked as complete
  • Settings & preferences: App preferences, accessibility settings, theme choice
  • Devices & integrations: Connected devices and linked apps (unless you disconnect them)

Date Range Deletion

If you want to delete data only from a specific time period (e.g., "all data from January 2025"), you can specify that in the deletion request. We'll delete only data created within that range.
