Can Cairo Love see my activity?
No. Your activity history and screenshots are stored on your Mac, not in a Cairo Love account or service. Our team cannot access or retrieve your records.
Is Cairo Time really free?
Yes. There is no paid tier today. We may introduce optional paid features later, but your current free features will remain free to use.
