Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Summary

NotchPal keeps your data on your Mac. We do not collect, store, or transmit personal information, usage data, or telemetry.

Data that stays on your Mac

  • Tasks, notes, and scratchpad content
  • Clipboard history
  • Focus timer sessions and insights
  • Pinned links, apps, and settings
  • Sound preferences and volume levels
  • Revenue API keys (stored in macOS Keychain)

All data is stored locally using UserDefaults and macOS Keychain. Nothing is synced to any server.

Keyboard sounds

NotchPal listens for key events to play audio feedback. It never records which keys you press. Key events are processed in memory to trigger sounds and immediately discarded. Sounds are automatically silenced in password fields using the macOS Accessibility API.

Camera (Mirror tool)

The Mirror tool uses your Mac's camera to show a live preview. No images or video are recorded, saved, or transmitted. The camera session runs only while the Mirror tool is open and stops immediately when you close it.

Calendar access

NotchPal reads events from Apple Calendar to display them in the notch panel. It never creates, edits, or deletes calendar events. macOS labels this permission "Full Access," but NotchPal only uses read access.

Revenue integrations

Revenue API keys (Stripe, RevenueCat, etc.) are stored in macOS Keychain, not in plain text. NotchPal connects directly to your payment provider's API using read-only keys. No revenue data is sent to our servers.

Network requests

NotchPal makes network requests only for:

  • Licence activation and deactivation
  • Checking for app updates
  • Fetching revenue data from your connected payment providers

No analytics, crash reports, or telemetry are collected.

Third-party services

NotchPal does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.

Data export & deletion

You can export your tasks, notes, and settings from NotchPal Settings. Uninstalling NotchPal removes all stored data from your Mac.
