Everything Vene knows about you, on one page.
Last updated September 2026.
Vene has to read your day to plan it. This page lists what it reads, where that stays, and every time the app or this website talks to a server.
What Vene reads
Your Reminders and your Calendar, after you allow it. Vene reads the tasks and events already on your Mac to find your free time and fit your work into it. It asks for nothing else.
What stays on your Mac
All of it. Your task titles and notes, your reminders and events, the days Vene plans, your practices and the time you log, and your settings. Working out how demanding a task is happens on your Mac too. We run no server that receives any of this, and there is no analytics in the app.
When the app goes online
It checks for updates. Every so often Vene asks our update feed at venehq.com/appcast.xml whether a newer version exists, and downloads it if there is one. That request carries what any web request does, your IP address and the app’s version, and nothing about your day. It also carries a random number Vene made up the first time it ran. That number is not tied to you, your Mac or your license. All it tells us is how many copies of Vene checked in that week.
After the beta, it also checks your license. During the beta Vene never asks for one. Once Vene is paid, it sends your license key to Lemon Squeezy, the company that sells Vene and takes the payment, to confirm it. Lemon Squeezy sees your IP address as part of that request.
That is the full list. There is no crash reporter, and nothing records how you use the app.
This website
The site runs no analytics or tracking scripts. The download comes from downloads.venehq.com, which sees your IP address like any server does.
If you vote on the roadmap, our server keeps a one-way code made from your IP address and the card you voted for, so each network gets one vote per card. It does not keep the IP address itself. Your browser remembers which cards you voted for, and that record stays in your browser.
If you joined the waitlist before the beta opened, we still have that email address. We use it only to tell you about Vene, and we will delete it if you write to us.
Where it lives on disk
Vene keeps its data in one folder, ~/Library/Application Support/Vene, plus the small preferences file macOS keeps for every app. To remove everything, delete the app and that folder. Tasks and events you made stay in Reminders and Calendar, where they were created.
No accounts
There is no account to make and no password to lose. After the beta, your license comes from your Lemon Squeezy purchase, so we never hold a login for you.
If this page changes
If what Vene reads or where it connects ever changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
