Privacy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
The short version: what you do on your Mac stays on your Mac. During the free trial the app sends nothing anywhere. With a license, it sends only your license details.
What the app sees
With the Accessibility permission you grant it, the app sees:
- The keys you press and the mouse buttons you click, to check them against the shortcuts and buttons in your own rules.
- Where your fingers are on the trackpad, to recognize taps, swipes, clicks and tip-taps.
- The pointer's path while you hold the drawing keys, to compare it with your saved drawings.
- Which app is in front, for rules that apply to one app only, and the position and size of the front window, to move or snap it.
All of this is checked in memory as it happens. None of it is written to disk or kept, and the app does not read what is inside your windows.
What leaves your Mac
During the free trial, nothing. With a license, your license details: your license key and the activation ID Dodo issued for this Mac. The app sends them to Dodo Payments' licensing service when you activate, about once a week to check the license is still valid, and when you deactivate. If a license has been refunded, its key is re-checked about once a day until you remove it. Activation also sends a fixed device label ("Mac"), not your computer's name. Like any internet request, these reveal your IP address to that service.
Your key presses, gestures, drawings and rules are never sent. The app has no analytics, no crash reporting and no account.
An action you set up yourself can go online, such as opening a web address or running a shell command. That is your rule doing what you asked, not the app reporting anything.
What is stored on your Mac
Your rules and settings, the date your trial started, and, with a license, your license key. They are kept in the app's preferences and in files in Application Support. Deactivate in the app before deleting them, or the key stays tied to this Mac until you email us.
When you buy
Purchases are handled by Dodo Payments as merchant of record. Dodo collects your name, email and payment details under its own privacy policy, and we never see your card number. We receive your email address and license record, and keep them for as long as we need them to support you and honor your license.
This website
These pages set no cookies. The product page loads Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies. The page shown after purchase does not, but Dodo sends you there with your license key and email in the web address, so they pass through this site's hosting provider. The download is served from dl.backrock.co, which records the time, browser and country of each download, so we can count them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold, which is at most your email address, license key and purchase record. Email [email protected] and we will act on it. For payment data, contact Dodo Payments.
Changes
If this ever changes, this page and its date will change first, and the release notes will say so.
