Noggin is a MacOS app. It does not have an account system and does not run ads. This page describes what the current beta does.

On your MacOS

Settings, module choices, timer presets, notes, and similar preferences stay in standard MacOS storage on this computer.

If you connect Canvas, your personal API token is stored in the MacOS Keychain. The school URL is stored in preferences. Noggin does not upload the token to us. We do not operate a Noggin backend for it.

Clipboard history, if that module is on, keeps the last few copied strings on this MacOS so you can paste them again. Obvious secrets (tokens, mixed-case passwords) are skipped. Do not treat the notch as a password manager.

What leaves your MacOS

• Canvas — if you paste a token, Noggin sends it as a Bearer token only to the HTTPS Canvas URL you entered, to load your assignments.
• Weather — if you allow Location, Noggin sends approximate coordinates to Open-Meteo. No account. If Location is off, weather stays empty.
• Music artwork — album art may be fetched from Spotify’s public oEmbed endpoint when a track is playing.

Calendar, reminders, Music/Spotify automation, Bluetooth, and camera stay on-device through Apple’s permission system. The camera is used only when you open Mirror or eye-strain closeness, and it stops when you close that view. Face geometry is not stored.
