Privacy policy
Last updated 6 November 2026.
Honeydew is a private to-do app for one household. This page explains what it does with your data. In short: it reads and writes one to-do list in your own Google Drive, and nothing else, and it never sends your data anywhere but Google.
What the app can access
When you sign in with Google, Honeydew asks for one permission, Google's narrowest Drive
permission (drive.file). It lets the app see and change only the files it
creates, or that you open with it: in practice, the one Google Sheet that holds the
to-do list. It can't see your other files, your email, your contacts or anything else in your
account.
What it does with that access
- It reads the to-do list from the Sheet so it can show it to you.
- It writes to the Sheet when you add, tick off, change or delete a task.
- It keeps a copy of the list on your phone, so it opens quickly and works offline. That copy stays on the phone and is deleted when the app is uninstalled.
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't collect, store or send your data anywhere other than your own Google account. There is no Honeydew server.
- It doesn't share your data with anyone, sell it, or use it for advertising.
- It has no analytics, tracking or crash reporting.
Anyone you share the Sheet with in Google Drive can see the list, the same as any other shared file. That sharing is set in Google Drive, not by Honeydew.
Google API Services
Honeydew's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Removing access
You can remove Honeydew's access at any time on your Google Account's third-party connections page, or by uninstalling the app. The Sheet stays in your Drive until you delete it.
