Privacy policy

Last updated on January 11, 2026

Introduction

Meelio is a 100% local, open source application. We believe your data belongs to you and should stay with you. This privacy policy explains how Meelio handles your information.

Who We Are

Meelio is an open source project built by Zain Zafar . The source code is publicly available on GitHub for review, contribution, and modification.

If you have concerns or questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us via email at support@meelio.io

No Servers, No Data Collection

Meelio does not have any backend servers. Both the Chrome extension and the web app operate entirely on your device. This means:

  1. We do not collect any personal information
  2. We do not track your browsing activity
  3. We do not use analytics or tracking scripts
  4. We do not store any data on remote servers
  5. Your data never leaves your device

Where Your Data Lives

All your data (tasks, settings, mantras, preferences, etc.) is stored locally in your browser using browser storage APIs. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.

You have full control over your data. You can:

  1. Export your data: Download all your settings and data as a file to back up or transfer to another device
  2. Import your data: Restore your data from a previously exported file
  3. Delete your data: Clear all data by clearing your browser storage or uninstalling the extension

Calendar Integration (ICS URLs)

Meelio supports calendar integration via ICS URLs. If you choose to use this feature, please be aware:

  1. ICS URLs may contain sensitive information: Your calendar ICS URL is essentially a direct link to your calendar data. Treat it like a password and do not share it publicly.
  2. Data is fetched directly: When you add an ICS URL, Meelio fetches the calendar data directly from that URL to your browser. No data passes through any Meelio servers.
  3. Stored locally: Your ICS URL and fetched calendar events are stored only in your browser's local storage.

Important: Be cautious about where you obtain ICS URLs from and ensure you trust the source. If your ICS URL is compromised, regenerate it through your calendar provider.

Chrome Extension Permissions

The Chrome extension may request certain browser permissions to function properly. These permissions are used solely for the extension's features:

  1. New Tab: To replace your new tab page with Meelio
  2. Storage: To save your preferences and data locally

The extension does not inject scripts into other websites or monitor your browsing activity.

Third-Party Services

Meelio does not integrate with any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising services. The only external requests the app makes are:

  1. Fetching wallpaper images from our CDN (no tracking involved)
  2. Fetching calendar data from your ICS URL (if you enable this feature)

Open Source Transparency

Meelio is open source. You can review the entire codebase on GitHub to verify our privacy practices. We encourage security researchers and privacy-conscious users to audit our code.

Cookies

The Meelio web app and extension do not use cookies for tracking. The only storage used is your browser's local storage to save your preferences and data.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be posted on this page. Since Meelio is open source, significant changes will also be reflected in the project's changelog.
