Privacy

Everything you do stays on your Mac

1. 1
   Your commands and logs

   The services you save, their output, and the folders they run in never leave your machine. They are stored locally with permissions restricted to your macOS account.

2. 2
   Your clipboard, files and camera

   Clipboard history, files on the shelf, screenshots you OCR and your camera feed are processed locally. Clipboard items expire after seven days unless pinned, and known token formats are not saved. None of it is uploaded — the camera image never leaves your Mac.

3. 3
   Your AI usage

   DevNotch reads your local Codex, Claude and Antigravity data to show what's left of your quota. That's read on your Mac and displayed on your Mac. Your prompts and conversations are never read or sent.

Anonymous usage stats

To know which features are worth improving, DevNotch sends a small summary once a day. It's on by default. You can turn it off in one click in Settings → Privacy, where you can also see the exact JSON that would be sent.

1. ✓
   What is sent

   A random number created on first run (it separates one install from another — it says nothing about you), the app version, your macOS major version, whether your screen has a notch, whether you're on trial or licensed, how many minutes the island was open, and which tabs you opened.

2. ✕
   What is never sent

   Your name, email, command names, log contents, file paths, clipboard contents, camera images, or hardware identifiers. The app does not write IP addresses to its analytics dataset. Cloudflare may process request metadata to operate and protect the service. There are no cookies or third-party trackers in the app.

3. ⌫
   Turning it off

   Settings → Privacy → toggle off. The random number and the local counters are deleted from your Mac immediately, and nothing is sent again. From the terminal: defaults write com.erickalves.devnotch telemetryEnabled -bool false
