DeskFellow — Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE] · Applies to: the DeskFellow macOS app and deskfellow.app

Draft — not legal advice. Review and adapt before publishing; confirm specifics with a professional and with your payment provider's requirements.

The short version

DeskFellow collects nothing. The app makes zero network calls — no account, no cloud, no analytics, no telemetry, no tracking. Everything Felix does happens locally on your Mac and never leaves your device.

What the app accesses (locally, never transmitted)

To react to your day, DeskFellow reads lightweight local signals on your Mac — never the contents of anything, and never sent anywhere:

  • Which application is currently in front (to react to what you're doing).
  • Whether you're typing, and whether your Mac is idle or locked (timing only — no keylogging, no key contents).
  • Whether audio is muted or music is playing (to stay quiet or dance along).
  • Battery level and time of day.

These signals are used in the moment and are not stored, logged off-device, or transmitted. DeskFellow does not use screen recording, does not read your documents, and requests no special data-access permissions to function.

Settings stored on your device

Your preferences (your pet's name, chattiness, sound settings, launch-at-login, last position) are saved locally in macOS user defaults on your Mac. They are never uploaded.

The website (deskfellow.app)

The marketing site is a static page. [State your actual setup:] It is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and makes no analytics or tracking calls / uses no cookies. If you later add analytics or a purchase flow, disclose it here.

Purchases

[When checkout is added:] Payments are handled by our payment provider, [Provider — e.g. Paddle / Lemon Squeezy], who acts as merchant of record and processes your payment and billing details under their privacy policy: [link]. DeskFellow does not receive or store your full payment details.

Children

DeskFellow is not directed at children and collects no personal data from anyone.

Changes

We may update this policy; the "last updated" date reflects the latest version.
