Privacy Policy

Applies to the Omarchy Calendar desktop widget. Last updated 30 August 2026.

What this application is

Omarchy Calendar is a personal desktop status bar widget for the Omarchy Linux desktop. It is installed and run by an individual on their own computer. There is no hosted service, no server operated on your behalf, and no user accounts. The only person who uses a given installation is the person who installed it.

What data is accessed

With your permission, the application requests a single Google API scope:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly — read only access to the calendars of the Google account you sign in with.

It reads event titles, start and end times, locations, calendar names and colours, and any conference or event links attached to those events. It cannot create, modify or delete anything in your calendar, because the scope granted is read only.

How that data is used and stored

Calendar events are fetched directly from Google’s API to your own computer and written to a local file:

• ~/.local/state/omarchy/calendar-events.json

The widget reads that file to draw the month grid, the day agenda, and the next event countdown in your status bar. The file is replaced on each sync, so it holds only the current sync window rather than an accumulating history.

Your OAuth credentials and refresh token are stored locally in the profile directory used by the sync, by default ~/.config/gws-omarchy-calendar, with permissions restricted to your user account.

What is not done with your data

• Calendar data is never transmitted to the developer.
• Calendar data is never sent to any third party, server or analytics service.
• Nothing is sold, shared, rented or used for advertising.
• There is no telemetry, crash reporting or usage tracking.

The only network connection the application makes for calendar data is between your own computer and Google.

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

Retention and deletion

Because all data stays on your machine, you control it completely:

• Delete the cached events by removing ~/.local/state/omarchy/calendar-events.json.
• Delete the stored credentials by removing the profile directory ~/.config/gws-omarchy-calendar.
• Revoke the application’s access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
• Uninstalling the widget removes it entirely.

Children

This application is not directed at children and collects nothing about them, or about anyone other than the person who installs and signs in to it.

Changes
