It doesn't cost money, and it doesn't cost your privacy. Here's every policy behind that — and, for each one, how it's actually enforced in the code.
Nothing to pay, nothing tracked, nothing sold. Chip in if you want — nothing changes if you don't.
What matters is whether the code makes it true. For each one below: why it exists, and the specific way it's enforced.
You can't lose, leak, or be compelled to hand over data you never held. Not collecting it is the only guarantee that survives a breach, a subpoena, or a change of ownership.
No app contains a code path that sends personal data to SDS Apps. No account system, and SDS Apps receives no identifier tied to you. Libraries and services an app uses (for example Google's ML Kit for scanning) have their own data flows; each app's page has a "What leaves your phone" section that lists them.
An app that looks up book details or PlayStation achievements genuinely needs the internet — claiming it's fully offline would be untrue. What matters isn't whether there's a network layer, but which way data travels.
Calls go outward to free, third-party APIs to fetch the content you asked for. They carry the query you typed and, as with any web request, your IP address; image requests can also include your phone model. There's no analytics endpoint and no telemetry channel pointing back at SDS Apps.
There's no SDS Apps server today. Some future features work better with pooled data — a shared, crowd-sourced database of consensus, built up and served back to everyone. Pooling should never come at the cost of identifying whoever contributes.
A contributor would be known only by a rotating hash — changing often enough that it can't be linked to a person or followed over time. It would exist purely to curb spam, abuse and manipulation, not to recognise you. SDS Apps' own code would not read or store IP addresses, and every stored field would be structured and finite. (Like any website, the host still handles the connection itself; the bug page works this way today.)
Tracking exists to build a picture of a person and, usually, to sell it. SDS Apps has no interest in that picture and nothing to gain from building one.
SDS Apps adds no analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers and no trackers of its own, and nothing measures your behaviour for SDS Apps. A library bundled in an app can send its own technical data to its vendor; where that happens, the "What leaves your phone" section on that app's page says so.
Ads mean an ad network, and an ad network means tracking. Setting aside that nobody enjoys them, they'd undo everything above.
There are no ad SDKs in any app. No ad network is integrated, so there's no ad-driven data collection to disclose or defend.
Free, open data sources keep running costs near zero. Low costs are a big part of how the apps can stay free without ads or a subscription to cover a bill.
Every API is free to use. Where a licence requires attribution, those credits are included inside the app that relies on them.
A free-text box can be filled with personal data. The moment SDS Apps received that, it would hold that personal data — a responsibility better designed out than managed.
Dropdown lists only. The one typed field is an optional report code, and the server rejects anything that is not a code in the fixed pattern. Nothing identifiable can be typed, so nothing identifiable can be sent. See the report page, which shows the email before you send it.
SDS Apps controls its own apps, not the wider internet. Follow a link from an app to another website and that site's data practices are its own. Everything above applies inside SDS apps; once you leave, it's out of scope — said plainly rather than left unmentioned.
Built the same way, all of them. Some close, some early, a couple still just ideas — every one free to use in full.
A personal library that lives on your device. See everything you own at a glance, search for books you're after, and keep a wishlist for later. There is no account, and nothing is sent to SDS Apps.
View screenshots & details →A day planner for anyone who means to do things and then doesn't. Set reminders through the day, decide what should happen if one slips, and get nudged again — persistently, but without becoming the thing you start ignoring.
Reads along with you. Point to where you are on the page and it keeps pace, so it's easier to stay with a book instead of drifting off after a single chapter. Built to fight the distraction that stops a good read in its tracks — still being proven out.
Sign in with your PlayStation account and turn your backlog into a game. Generate a bingo board of in-game achievements that tick themselves off as you earn them — handy when a game has too many options, or when decision paralysis hits.
A route planner that hands you the wheel. Set a route up around your own preferences, then rule out the parts you'd rather skip — a particular turn, an awkward junction, a whole road — and it plans around them. When it's ready, it hands the finished route straight to your navigation app of choice to drive.
A small physical device, still at the idea stage, aimed at the same everyday follow-through problem OrganiseMyDay tackles in software. Being kept under wraps for now — more once it's further along.
A fair thing to ask of anything free. Every app can be used in full, for free, forever — no premium tier, nothing held back. There are only two ways money ever enters the picture, both optional, both in the open.
Each app has its own short report page. You choose from lists, so there is no free-text box. The one optional typed field only accepts a report code in a fixed pattern. No name or email is asked for, and you will not get a reply.
