Focus on Privacy

Welcome to Serene Interval Countdown. We believe privacy is the foundation of peace. This app is designed to respect your space and your data.

Data We Collect

This means that information transmitted between your device and our servers may be vulnerable to interception. We recommend avoiding the use of sensitive or confidential information in your profile. We are actively working to implement encryption for data in transit in a future update.
