🔒 Privacy by Design
munkee is built with privacy at its core. All your tasks, categories, priorities, and monkey progress stay completely private on your device. We don't have servers, we don't track you, and we can't see your productivity data. Your journey to getting monkeys off your back is yours alone.
1. Information We Don't Collect
