PearCal

The short version

PearCal collects no personal data. Your calendar lives on your device. Nothing is sent to any server. No account required.

What data is stored

All data is stored locally on your device only:

• Your profile name and optional avatar
• Calendar events you create
• Peer groups you belong to and their shared events
• App preferences (time format, theme, notification settings, etc.)

None of this data leaves your device except to sync directly with other devices in your groups (see Peer Sync below).

Peer sync

When you share a group with others, PearCal syncs data directly between devices using the Hypercore Protocol, a peer-to-peer technology. There is no server or intermediary. Your data is shared only with the specific devices you have invited into a group.

No third party ever receives or has access to your calendar data.

Permissions

• Camera & photo library: Used only to set your profile photo. Photos are stored locally on your device.
• Notifications: Used to deliver local event reminders. Notification data never leaves your device.
• Network access: Used exclusively for peer-to-peer connections with devices in your groups. No data is sent to external servers.

No tracking or analytics

PearCal contains no analytics, no advertising SDKs, no crash reporting services, and no third-party trackers of any kind.

No accounts

PearCal does not require you to create an account or provide an email address. Your identity within the app is a cryptographic key pair generated locally on your device.

Open source

PearCal is fully open source. You can inspect the complete source code at github.com/peerloomllc/pearcal-native.
