Privacy policy

This policy describes how Irk’d™, developed by M-Holdings Group LLC, handles information in the app and when you contact us for support. Use of this website is also covered by our website privacy policy.

Information stored by the app

Irk’d stores your reminders on your device: the task text, any steps, deadline, exact time, repeating schedule, or chosen place and radius, which profile it belongs to, completion and snooze state, and the nag and pain tier you picked. It also stores your profiles, their names and icons, nagging hours, your setup choices, and whether Cry Uncle! is running. This information is kept in a file on your device that uses iOS data protection. A few device settings are kept separately on the device: your app icon choice, which reminders have alarms, and the last Irk’d More status the app received from Apple.

There is no Irk’d account. The app does not ask for your name, email address, or any sign-in, and a fresh installation starts empty.

How this information is used

The app uses this information to schedule and deliver nudges, show your lists, and run its features. Nudge timing and wording are chosen on your device. Irk’d does not include advertising or analytics, does not use third-party software development kits, and we do not sell or share your reminders.

Notifications

Nudges are local notifications scheduled on your device with your permission. Each one shows the reminder text, a line from your nag, and, when relevant, a second line with the due date, the number of steps left, or a repeating nag’s schedule and progress. Editable reminders in unprotected profiles include Done and Snooze actions. If you protect a profile, its notifications show generic text instead and leave out the reminder details and actions. Cry Uncle! pauses nudges for four hours on the device where you use it and is not synced. You can change notification permission at any time in your device’s Settings.

Alarms

On iOS or iPadOS 26 or later you can choose to have a reminder with an exact time or timed deadline ring a system alarm. Alarms are scheduled by iOS on your device with your permission, which the app asks for the first time you save one. Which reminders have alarms is stored only on the device where you set them; it is not synced through iCloud or shared with people you share a reminder with. Alarms for a protected profile use generic text. You can withdraw alarm permission at any time in your device’s Settings.

Location and places

Location access is optional. Free setup continues without requesting it. If you enable nearby reminders, Irk’d uses iOS location services to detect whether you’re within the radius of a chosen destination. With While Using the App, iOS can deliver the first arrival alert and Irk’d checks your position when it runs, including when you save a place reminder. With Always and Precise Location, iOS can wake Irk’d on entry and exit while the app is closed. You can change access in your device’s Settings.

Irk’d sends place search terms to Apple Maps. If you’ve granted location access and Irk’d can get a current location, it also includes a search region centered on those coordinates. The app calculates distances for the results on your device. Learn how Apple handles this information in Apple Maps & Privacy.

The name, coordinates, and radius of a saved destination are part of the reminder. These details sync through iCloud if you enable sync and are visible to people you share that reminder with. Arrival timestamps used to schedule follow-ups stay on the device. Irk’d does not keep a travel history or send live location updates to M-Holdings Group or the people you share with.

Siri, Shortcuts, and Apple Intelligence

When you create a reminder with Siri or the Shortcuts app, Apple handles your speech and passes the resulting text and date to Irk’d, which saves it like any other reminder. Protected profiles are not exposed to Siri. On devices that support Apple Intelligence, the app can interpret a jotted note into a task, deadline, and time using Apple’s on-device model; the note is processed on your device, and you review the result before it is applied. These Apple features are governed by Apple’s terms and privacy policy.

Irk’d More purchases

Irk’d More is an optional subscription bought through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes the payment and manages the subscription under its own terms and privacy policy; we do not receive your payment details. The app uses Apple’s StoreKit on your device to check whether Irk’d More is active and remembers the result on the device so reminders keep working offline. Apple provides us with sales and subscription reports for the app, which do not include your name or contact details. Apple handles refunds.

Profile locks

Face ID and Touch ID checks are performed by iOS; Irk’d never sees your biometric data. A custom passcode is never stored as entered. The app keeps only a salted verifier in the device’s Keychain, limits repeated wrong attempts, and cannot recover a forgotten passcode. Locks apply to the device where you set them and are not synced.

Apple iCloud sync and sharing

If you turn on iCloud sync, the app uses Apple’s CloudKit service to store your reminders and profiles in the private database of your own iCloud account, so your devices signed into the same account stay in step. Before sync starts, the app shows what will change and asks you to approve. We do not operate a server of our own and cannot read your iCloud data.

If you share a reminder, the people you invite can see its task, steps, trigger, deadline, repeating schedule, tier override, and completion state, and can edit it if you allow editing. Profile placement, nag choices, passcodes, arrival timestamps, snoozes, alarms, and Cry Uncle! stay private from the people you share with. You can stop sharing or leave a shared reminder at any time. Apple manages iCloud under its own terms and privacy policy, and your device backup settings also apply.

Retention, reset, and removal

Reminders stay on your device until you delete them or reset the app. Use Clear all done on Home to remove completed reminders. Settings offers custom profile deletion and Reset app, which can clear this device only or your synced Irk’d data as well. The reset option on a locked profile’s screen clears this device only. Uninstalling the app removes its local file but may not remove copies already in iCloud or in device backups; manage those through your Apple settings. We cannot reset or restore your reminders from a support request, because we do not hold them. Resetting the app does not cancel an Irk’d More subscription.

Children

Irk’d is a general-audience productivity app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through support, please contact us so we can remove it.

When you contact support

If you email us, we receive your email address and anything you choose to include, such as a device description or screenshot. We use this to respond, troubleshoot, and keep support records, and it may be processed by our email service provider. Please send only what the request needs, and ask us if you would like your support correspondence removed, subject to any retention obligations that apply.

Updates and contact

We will update this page and its date when these practices change. For privacy questions, contact support@m-holdings.llc.
