Focusara Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 October 2026

Focusara is a focus timer, habit tracker, journal and health log. It also includes an AI coach that runs on your phone.

Focusara is published by Muhammad Sulman Gull, trading as Techoship ("we", "us"). You can reach us at techoship.com/contact.

The short version

• Everything you record stays on your device. We have no server, and we never receive any of it.
• There is no account. There is nothing to sign in to.
• We show no advertising and run no analytics, tracking or crash-reporting software.
• The app goes online for only two things. It downloads the AI model once, and nothing about you is sent with that request. If you buy Premium, it also asks Google Play which purchases your account owns, and, only if you turn it on, backs up to your own Google Drive.
• You can export everything to a file, and delete everything, from Settings.

What Focusara stores, and where

Everything Focusara records is written to a database inside the app's own private storage on your phone. It is not uploaded, synchronised or backed up to us, because there is nowhere for it to go — Focusara has no server and no account system.

That data is:

• Focus sessions — start and end times, session type, and your history.
• Habits — the habits you create, when you complete them, and your streaks.
• Journal entries — morning intentions, evening reflections, mood and gratitude notes.
• Health measurements — water intake, weight, sleep, blood pressure and pulse, heart rate, blood glucose, body temperature, and meals and macros.
• Your settings — timer durations, reminder times, theme and sound preferences.

Health information

Some of what Focusara records — blood pressure, glucose, heart rate, weight, sleep — is health information about you, and in many countries the law treats it as especially sensitive. It deserves saying plainly what happens to it:

• It is entered by you, for you.
• It never leaves your phone.
• We never see it, and we could not produce it if we were asked to.
• It is never sold, shared, or used to advertise to you.

Because it stays on your device, protecting your phone protects it. A screen lock is the most useful thing you can do for it.

Google Drive backup (optional)

If you subscribe to Focusara Premium and turn on Google Drive backup, Focusara signs in with your Google account and saves a copy of all your Focusara data (the same content as Settings → Export Data, including health and journal entries) to your own Google Drive.

• It uses Google's drive.appdata permission: a hidden folder that only Focusara can use. Focusara cannot see, read or change any other file in your Drive.
• Backups go directly from your phone to Google. They never pass through a Focusara server, and we cannot access them.
• Google stores them under your account and its own privacy policy. They are not end-to-end encrypted by Focusara.
• Focusara keeps the 10 most recent backups and deletes older ones. When you turn backup off you can delete them all; you can also remove Focusara's access at any time in your Google account settings (Security → Third-party apps).

Focusara's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Health Connect (optional)

If you subscribe to Focusara Premium and choose to connect Health Connect, Focusara reads these records from Health Connect on your phone: weight, sleep sessions, resting heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose and body temperature. It may also ask for access to records older than 30 days, so your history can be imported.

• Focusara only reads. It never writes to, changes or deletes anything in Health Connect.
• Imported readings are copied into Focusara's database on your phone, marked "Health Connect", and used only to show your health screens, reports, insights and experiments to you.
• This data is never sent to us or to anyone else, never used for advertising, and never sold. Focusara has no server to send it to.
• You can disconnect at any time in Focusara (Health tab → Health Connect) and choose to remove the imported readings, or remove Focusara's access in Health Connect's own settings.

Focusara's use of information received from Health Connect adheres to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

The AI coach

Focusara includes a coach that comments on your own weekly numbers. It runs entirely on your phone. Your questions and your data are handed to a model that is already on the device, and neither is transmitted anywhere.

The AI coach needs a model file — a one-off download of about 584 MB of a general-purpose language model, the same file for every user. The app asks before downloading it: nothing is downloaded until you tap Download, and you choose whether it may use mobile data or should wait for Wi-Fi. The file comes from our own hosting (served through Cloudflare). As with any download, that request tells the host your IP address and roughly when you asked. Nothing about you, and nothing you have recorded, is sent with it.

If you never download the AI coach, Focusara makes no network requests at all.

What we never collect

We do not run advertising or analytics software. There is no third-party tracking SDK in this app, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, and no device fingerprinting. We do not ask for your contacts, your location, your camera or your microphone, and the app has no permission to reach any of them.

We cannot tell how many times you opened the app, which features you used, or whether you use it at all.

Permissions, and why

• Notifications — habit reminders and timer alerts. Everything is scheduled on your device; we send no push notifications, because we have no way to.
• Run at startup — so reminders you set survive a restart. Without it every scheduled reminder would be silently lost when you reboot.
• Vibration — timer and reminder feedback.
• Keep awake and background audio — so a running timer and breathing exercise audio keep going with the screen off.
• Internet: the one-time AI model download described above, and, if you buy Premium, checking your purchase with Google Play.
• Health Connect: read-only access to the record types listed above, only if you connect it.
• Fingerprint or face: only if you turn on App lock and choose biometric unlock. Android checks your fingerprint or face itself and only tells the app whether it matched. Focusara never receives your biometric data. Your App lock PIN is stored on your phone as a one-way hash in Android's secure storage, and is never sent anywhere.

Who else is involved

Nobody. Focusara has no third-party services, no cloud provider holding your data, and no processors acting on our behalf, because there is no data of yours anywhere but your own phone.

There are three exceptions. The first is the host that serves the AI model file, which sees a download request and nothing more.

The second is Google Play, if you buy Focusara Premium. Google processes the payment under its own privacy policy. We never receive your card details. The app asks Google Play which Premium purchases your Google account owns, and stores a single "Premium active" flag on your phone. We run no server and keep no record of who has bought Premium. Google Play's sales reports show us order details, but they don't include your health data or anything else you record in the app.

The third is your own Google Drive, only if you turn on Drive backup (described above). The backup goes to your Google account, not to us.

How long it is kept

For as long as you keep it. Nothing expires and nothing is pruned; your history is yours to keep or to clear.

Deleting the app deletes everything with it. There is no copy anywhere else, so if you want your history, export it before you uninstall.

Your choices

• Export everything. Settings → Data → Export Data creates a JSON file containing all of it and opens your phone's share sheet, so you choose where it goes (your files, a cloud drive, email). The file is sent only where you send it.
• Bring it back. Import Data restores from a backup file you pick.
• Delete everything. Clear All Data permanently removes all your records, streaks and any backup copies kept inside the app, and cancels reminders. Your app preferences (such as theme and timer lengths) are kept. It cannot be undone.
• Turn off reminders in Settings, or in your phone's notification settings.
• Skip the AI entirely by not downloading it. Nothing is downloaded until you tap Download.

Rights that apply elsewhere — access, correction, erasure, portability — are ordinarily exercised by asking a company for a copy of what it holds. Here the app itself is the answer: we hold nothing, so there is nothing to ask us for. If you believe otherwise, write to us at techoship.com/contact and we will help.

Children

Focusara is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them — or, for that matter, from anybody.

Security

Your data is held in the app's private storage, which other apps on your phone cannot read. The strongest protection for it is your device's own lock screen and encryption. Because nothing is transmitted or stored by us, there is no server of ours that could be breached and no account of yours that could be taken over.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above, and if the change is significant we will say so in the app. Should a future version of Focusara ever send anything off your device, that would be a significant change, and it would be described here before it happened.
