Privacy
Fikar collects nothing.
There is no account, no profile and no server holding anything about you.
This page is the whole truth and it is short on purpose.
The app sends nothing about you, ever.
No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting. Its only
network activity is fetching one small public file a few times a day to see
whether a newer version exists. That request carries no identifiers and no
data, and you can turn it off from the menu.
Everything stays on your machine.
Your settings, your timetable, the lines you have rewritten and the
birthdays you have given Fikar sit in one file on your own disk. Nothing else
is stored anywhere.
The photographs you import never leave your machine.
Building your own mom runs entirely on your computer. The pictures are
read, cut up and saved locally. They are never uploaded, because there is
nowhere to upload them to.
Fikar does not watch what you do.
The app reads exactly two things from your system: how long since you
last touched the keyboard or mouse, which is a single number saying
whether you are at your desk, and your battery percentage. It never sees
your screen, your keystrokes, or your files.
This website counts visits and downloads anonymously
using GoatCounter,
which is open source, cookie free and stores no personal data. No ad trackers,
ever.
The one thing the app does send
Once a day it sends a single tiny request whose entire content is one word
from a fixed list: installed once at first launch, alive as the
daily heartbeat, survived 6 hours and 12 hours on the first day,
and alive after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days, once each.
There is no identifier of any kind attached. No device ID, no random token, no
dates, no system details, nothing that could tell two computers apart. It is
the only way I can tell whether people keep Fikar around or uninstall it, and
it is the entire extent of what the app ever transmits. You can check all of
this in the source.
