Floati Desktop App

The native app for Windows (Microsoft Store) and macOS (Mac App Store)

Floati does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. Your data never leaves your device.

Where your data lives

Everything you put into Floati -> expenses, budgets, subscriptions, habits, birthdays, notes, reminders, receipts, debts, savings goals, net worth -> is stored in a single file on your machine. Nothing is uploaded.

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.floati\floati.db
  • macOS: ~/Library/Containers/life.floati/Data/.floati/floati.db (App Store) or ~/.floati/floati.db (legacy)

What we do not collect

  • Personal information (name, email, address)
  • Financial data (account numbers, card numbers, balances synced from banks)
  • Usage analytics, telemetry, or crash reports
  • Device identifiers or fingerprints
  • Location data
  • Cookies, pixels, beacons, or any tracking technology

No internet, no accounts

The app makes zero outbound network requests during normal use. There are no accounts to create, no logins, no sync -> by design. If you don't trust us, verify with Little Snitch, Lulu, or Wireshark.

Encrypted backups

From v1.3.0 onwards, you can export your full database as an encrypted file with a passphrase you choose. The passphrase is never sent anywhere. We can't recover it for you -> that's the privacy trade-off.

Your data, your control

  • Export everything as JSON, PDF, Excel, or CSV at any time
  • Delete the database file to wipe all data instantly
  • Move the file to another machine to transfer your data
  • Open-source enthusiasts can audit the database schema directly

App Store privacy nutrition label

Both the Microsoft Store and Mac App Store listings declare "Data Not Collected" across every category. We've signed Apple's Privacy Manifest with zero data-collection categories.

Birthday Globe

The community map at floati.life/birthdays

The Birthday Globe stores only what you voluntarily submit. We never sell, share, or transfer it.

What we collect when you submit

  • First name (and optional last name) -> shown publicly on the globe
  • Email address -> used only for the verification link and (if you opt in) one birthday email per year. Never shown publicly, never shared
  • Birthday -> month and day are public; year is hidden unless you enable "show age"
  • City and country -> used to position your pin and shown publicly
  • Profile photo (optional) -> resized to 200×200 and compressed before storage

What we do not collect

  • No third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Plausible -> nothing)
  • No ad pixels, no remarketing tags, no fingerprinting
  • Your IP address is hashed for spam prevention only -> the plain IP is never stored

Email handling

Your email is used in exactly two ways: (1) a one-time verification link when you submit, (2) a single birthday greeting per year -> only if you opted in. You can opt out any time by emailing birthdaywishes@floati.life.

Your rights

  • Request deletion at any time via birthdaywishes@floati.life
  • Update your entry by re-submitting with the same email (before verification)
  • Opt out of birthday emails any time

CV Builder

The resume tool at floati.life/cv

No account required. Your resume is linked to an anonymous browser cookie. Suggestions run on our server -> never sent to OpenAI, Claude, Google, or any external vendor.

What we store

  • Your resume content (work experience, education, skills, etc.)
  • Template and style choices (template, accent colour, font)
  • A random session token in a browser cookie that links your data across visits
  • Optional profile photo (compressed) if you upload one

What we do not collect

  • No email, no name registration, no account
  • No analytics on your resume content
  • No third-party AI calls -> every suggestion comes from our own engines
  • No ad pixels, no remarketing tags

Smart features

The bullet-point improver, ATS scorer, and industry analyser all run on our server using deterministic algorithms and locally hosted models. Your resume content is never transmitted to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any other external service.

PDF export

PDFs are generated on demand on our server and streamed straight to your browser. We do not retain copies of exported PDFs.

Deletion

Clearing your browser cookies disassociates you from the stored resume data. For permanent deletion of the underlying record, email birthdaywishes@floati.life.

PDF Tools

12 free utilities at floati.life/tools

Most tools run entirely in your browser -> your file never reaches our servers. The few that need server processing delete your file immediately after the result is sent back.

Browser-only tools (your file never uploads)

These tools process PDFs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your file is read into memory, edited, and saved back to your machine -> nothing is uploaded.

  • Organize PDF (rotate, reorder, delete pages)
  • Sign PDF (drop a signature image, save locally)
  • Watermark PDF
  • Protect PDF (password-encrypt, in-browser)

Server-processed tools (file is deleted after processing)

These tools require server-side libraries (OCR, format conversion, advanced compression). When you upload a file:

  • It is stored in a temporary location accessible only to the conversion process
  • The result file is generated and streamed back to your browser
  • Both the input file and any intermediate output are deleted within minutes
  • We do not log file contents or metadata beyond standard request logs (timestamp + status code, no filename, no content)

Tools in this group: Merge PDF, Split PDF, Compress PDF, PDF to JPG, PDF to Word, OCR PDF.

Metadata stripping

The Compress and Protect tools also remove document metadata (author, creator, producer fields) for privacy. Document title is preserved unless you explicitly remove it.

What we do not collect

  • No account or email required to use any PDF tool
  • No third-party analytics, ad pixels, or trackers on tool pages
  • No PDF content is logged, indexed, or sent to any external service

Link Page (link-in-bio)

The customizable public profile pages at floati.life/u/<handle>

Anything you add to your link page is public, that's the whole point. We collect nothing else.

What you put in

  • Display name, handle, bio, location, pronouns, public, shown on your page
  • Avatar, base64-encoded inside your page record. Public.
  • Links, title, URL, description. Public.
  • Theme settings, color, layout, typography. Public.

What we do not collect

  • No email or account required
  • No password, your "edit token" is a long random URL. Whoever has it can edit. Don't share it.
  • No social-network sign-in

Click tracking on your links

When a visitor clicks one of your links we count the click and redirect them. We do not log who clicked, where they came from, or any IP. The count is just a counter.

Visitor analytics

We count page views in aggregate (one number per page). No cookies, no fingerprinting, no third-party scripts.

Deleting your page

The edit-token URL has a "delete page" option (coming soon). For now, email birthdaywishes@floati.life with your handle and we'll delete it within 24 hours.

Friend Quiz ("How well do you know me?")

The shareable quiz tool at floati.life/q/<id>

Quizzes are public. Anyone with the link can take one. We collect nothing beyond what you and the takers type in.

If you're the creator

  • Your name, public, shown on the quiz page and leaderboard
  • Quiz title, intro, questions, answers, public
  • Edit token, your private dashboard URL. We don't email it. Save it.
  • No email required to make a quiz

If you're taking a quiz

  • Your name, public on that quiz's leaderboard only
  • Your answers, used to score you. The creator sees your final score and rank, not your individual answer choices
  • No email, no signup, no account

What we do not collect

  • No tracking cookies
  • Your IP is hashed for spam prevention only, the plain IP is never stored
  • No email, ever

Deleting a quiz

Visit your creator-dashboard URL (the edit-token link). A delete button is coming soon. For now, email birthdaywishes@floati.life with the quiz public-id and we'll remove it.

Things that apply across the site

Children's privacy

The Floati desktop app collects no data from anyone, so it makes no distinction. The Birthday Globe, CV Builder, and PDF Tools do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted data, email us and we will remove it.

Cookies

The CV Builder uses a single first-party session cookie to link your data across visits. The Birthday Globe uses no cookies. The PDF Tools use no cookies. The Floati desktop app uses no cookies (it's not a website).

Changes to this policy

If anything changes, the updated policy is published at this URL with a new "last updated" date at the top. Material changes will also be reflected in the changelog modal on the home page.
