Review
Record wins, journal the day, carry work forward, and close the loop.
Data practices
Your planning data should not become someone else's business model.
Northpath is built for personal routines, calendars, notes, and focus history, so privacy is treated as part of the product experience.
Local-first data
Personal planning data is stored on your device first. Export, feature controls, and deletion are available from Settings.
Private iCloud sync
Multi-device sync uses your private iCloud database so your planning context can stay available across your own iPhone and iPad.
No ad tracking
Northpath does not sell personal data, run third-party advertising, or use personal data for cross-app tracking.
AI only when requested
Supported devices use Apple Intelligence on device. Cloud AI fallback is available only when you sign in and request an AI feature.
