Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 14, 2026

Overview

Gremi is a macOS menu bar app that reminds you about upcoming Google Calendar meetings so you don't miss them. It runs locally on your Mac. This policy explains what data Gremi accesses, how it's used, and how it's stored.

Data We Access

Gremi requests read-only access to your Google Calendar through the Google Calendar API. Specifically, Gremi uses these OAuth scopes:

calendar.events.readonly — to read upcoming events from your primary calendar (title, start/end time, and meeting link), so they can be shown in the menu bar and trigger local notifications before each meeting begins.
calendar.readonly — to read your primary calendar's default reminder setting, so Gremi's notifications fire at the lead time you've already configured in Google Calendar (e.g. 10 minutes before) instead of at a hardcoded time.

Gremi cannot create, edit, or delete any calendar data. Gremi does not list, enumerate, or read any of your other calendars, and does not access calendar ACLs, sharing settings, or colors.

How Your Data Is Used

Your calendar data is used solely to remind you about your meetings on your own Mac. Specifically:

Upcoming meetings are listed in the menu bar.
A floating reminder window appears shortly before each meeting begins.
Clicking the reminder opens the meeting link (Google Meet, Zoom, etc.) in your browser.

Data Storage and Transmission

Gremi has no backend server. All calendar data is fetched directly from Google's APIs to your Mac.
Calendar data is held in memory only and is never written to disk.
OAuth access and refresh tokens are stored securely in the macOS Keychain on your Mac.
No calendar data, event content, or metadata is transmitted to, stored on, or processed by any server operated by the developer.

Data Sharing and Limited Use

Gremi's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically, Google user data is not sold, not shared with third parties, not used for advertising, not used to train AI or machine-learning models, and not read by humans (except with your explicit consent for support, or as required by law).

There are no analytics, tracking, or telemetry of any kind.

Data Retention and Revocation

Gremi does not retain your calendar data. When you quit the app, all calendar data is removed from memory. Signing out in the app deletes the stored refresh token from the macOS Keychain. You can also revoke Gremi's access at any time from your Google Account permissions.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
