Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 23, 2026
AppNote (“the app”) is a macOS menu-bar utility for local, per-app notes. This policy explains what the app stores, what it does not collect, and how to reach us with privacy questions.
Summary
- Your notes stay on your Mac
- No account, sign-in, or cloud sync
- No analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs
- No sale of personal data
Data stored on your device
AppNote stores the following only on your Mac, inside the app’s sandboxed container:
- Note titles and content
- Categories, spaces, and related organization metadata
- Preferences such as your global keyboard shortcut
- Cached frontmost-app name and bundle identifier used to scope notes to the app you are using
We do not operate a cloud sync service for AppNote. Uninstalling the app (and removing its container data) deletes this information from your Mac according to macOS behavior.
Data we do not collect
- No accounts or sign-in
- No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs that send data to us
- No advertising identifiers
- No location, contacts, photos, or microphone access for product features
- No sale or sharing of personal data with third parties for marketing
App context
To attach notes to the app you are using, AppNote reads the frontmost application’s name and bundle identifier from the system. That information stays on your device and is used only to organize your notes.
Network
AppNote does not require a network connection to function. Opening the Mac App Store listing or this website is separate from the app binary and follows those services’ own policies.
Children
AppNote is a general-audience productivity utility. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes in a material way, we will update the “Last updated” date on this page. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
