What this app knows about you
Kindly Insist is a reminder app that nags about things you have asked to be nagged about, and some of those things are medical. This page says plainly what is stored, who can see it, and how to take it back.
What is stored
- Your email address and a name — the address is how you sign in and where any email goes. The name is only ever used to greet you.
- Your password, as a scrypt hash — never the password itself. Nobody here can read it, including whoever runs this app.
- Your roster — what you asked to be reminded about, when, and how hard to push. If you put a medication on it, the name of that medication is stored.
- What happened each day — done, couldn't, or nothing, with the time, and the reason you typed when you couldn't. Kept for 400 days, then it expires on its own.
- Your shopping list and refill dates, if you use them.
- Your timezone — so a reminder does not arrive at three in the morning.
- Notification subscriptions — one per device you allowed notifications on.
What is not stored
- No audio, ever. The microphone uses your browser's own speech recognition. On most phones that means the words are transcribed by the operating system; the audio never reaches this app's servers, and what arrives is the text you can see in the box before you accept it.
- No analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers. There is no third-party script on any page of this app.
- No location.
- No payment details. There is nothing to pay for.
Who can see it
Your roster and your days are private to your account, with one exception you create deliberately: the person you ask to look out for you.
If you nominate someone, and they accept, they see a report of your non-negotiables — after the day is over, never live — and you choose what it contains. They never see your shopping list, your calendar, your other reminders, or anything you have not agreed to share. You can stop it at any time, from Settings, and they are told that you have.
Where it lives
- The app and its API run on Vercel.
- The data is in a Supabase Postgres database (or an Upstash Redis, depending on how this copy is configured). Only this app's server can reach it; nothing is readable from a browser.
- Email is sent through Resend. They handle the message in transit and see the address it went to.
- Notifications go through your browser's push service — Apple, Google or Mozilla, depending on your device. The text of a nag passes through them, encrypted, on the way to you.
- If you use the description box during setup, the sentence you typed or spoke is sent to Anthropic's API to turn into a list of reminders. That one sentence is all that is sent, and only when you use that box. The rest of the app never calls it.
What you can do about it
- Take it with you. Settings → Your data → Export downloads everything above as one JSON file, including the reasons you typed.
- Delete all of it. Settings → Your data → Delete removes your account, your roster, your history, your list, your notification subscriptions and every arrangement with anybody who was looking out for you. It asks for your password first, because it cannot be undone.
- Stop the email without signing in — every recurring message has a one-tap link in its footer, and your mail app's own unsubscribe button works too.
- Stop the notifications from Settings, or by revoking permission in your browser.
Deletion is immediate and is not a flag — the rows are removed. Anything already delivered cannot be recalled: an email that has arrived is in your correspondent's mailbox, and a report a partner has already read has been read.
This is not a medical service
Kindly Insist reminds you about things you told it to remind you about. It gives no medical advice, checks nothing for interactions, and knows nothing about your prescription beyond the words you typed. It is not a substitute for your doctor or your pharmacist, and it is not certified as a medical device anywhere.
Children
This app is not designed for and not intended for children under 13.
If this page changes
The date below is the day it last changed. Anything that alters what a partner can see is announced in the app itself and asked about again, because consent given to one arrangement is not consent to a different one.
