What's Next — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 June 2026.
What's Next ("the app", "we") is a macOS menu-bar application developed by VentureVoid S.L. that helps you keep track of upcoming meetings from your Google Calendar. This Privacy Policy explains what data the app accesses, how it is used, and where it is stored.
What we access
When you connect a Google account to What's Next, the app requests the following OAuth scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly— to list the calendars in your account so you can pick which ones to monitor.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.readonly— to read upcoming events from the calendars you selected, so the app can display them in the menu bar popover.openidandemail— to obtain a stable account identifier and show your email address in the Settings → Accounts panel.
What's Next does not request, nor does it ever receive:
- Permission to modify, create, or delete events.
- Access to event attachments or attendee contact details beyond what is necessary to display the meeting (we read attendee email addresses only to mark events you organize vs. attend).
- Any Gmail, Drive, Contacts, Photos, or other Google services.
How we use the data
Calendar event data is fetched directly from Google's servers to your Mac and is used exclusively to:
- Display the next meeting's countdown in the menu bar title.
- Render the agenda popover with ongoing, upcoming, and later-today meetings.
- Open the join URL of a video call when you click "Join meeting".
We do not:
- Send your calendar data, OAuth tokens, or any personal information to any server we control or to any third party.
- Operate a backend service that proxies, stores, or analyses your data. What's Next is a standalone desktop application; all network traffic goes between your Mac and Google's APIs.
- Use your data for analytics, advertising, profiling, or machine-learning training.
Where data is stored
- OAuth tokens (refresh + short-lived access tokens) are stored in the macOS Keychain on your Mac, gated by an access control list tied to the application's code signature so only What's Next itself can read them.
- Cached event data lives in memory only for the duration of the app session and is never persisted to disk.
- App settings (which calendars are selected, color overrides, popup window dimensions, etc.) live in the app's local preferences on your Mac.
Nothing is uploaded to VentureVoid or any third party.
How to revoke access
You can disconnect a Google account at any time from What's Next → Settings → Accounts → Sign out. This revokes the refresh token at Google's revocation endpoint and removes all Keychain entries for that account.
You can also revoke What's Next's access independently at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Children
What's Next is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
