Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 October 2026
The short version: Notchfy runs entirely on your Mac. It has no account system, no analytics and no telemetry. The data it shows you — notifications, captures, usage stats, clipboard, files — is read locally and never leaves your device.

1. What Notchfy Reads on Your Mac

To show its modules, Notchfy may read, locally and only while running: media now-playing info, system stats (CPU, memory, disk, battery, network), calendar & reminders, notifications, screenshots/recordings you take, your clipboard history, downloaded files and weather for your location. This information is processed on your Mac to render the notch dashboard and is not transmitted to us or any third party.

2. Data We Collect

The Notchfy app collects no personal data and sends us nothing. There is no sign-in, no usage tracking and no crash telemetry built into the app.

3. Permissions

macOS asks your permission before Notchfy can access certain data (e.g. Full Disk Access for mirrored notifications, Calendar and Reminders access). You grant these to macOS, not to us, and can revoke them anytime in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

4. Optional AI (MacMate)

MacMate can use Apple's on-device model, which never leaves your Mac. If you choose to add your own API key for Claude, GPT or Gemini, your prompts are sent directly from your Mac to that provider under their privacy terms. We are not an intermediary and never receive that content.

5. Payments

Purchases and licensing are handled by our Merchant of Record, Dodo Payments. When you buy Notchfy, Dodo Payments processes your payment and email to deliver your licence key. We receive only the information needed to issue and validate licences (such as your email and order ID). See Dodo Payments' privacy policy for how they handle payment data.

6. Website

This website may use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics to count visits in aggregate. It does not profile you or sell data.

7. Your Rights

Because the app stores nothing about you on our side, there is little for us to hold. For anything tied to a purchase (e.g. a licence record), email us to access or delete it.

8. Changes

We'll update this page if our practices change and revise the date above.
