Privacy

Nothing. There is no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, and no account to make.

Blinders makes no network connection of its own. The App Store takes your payment and sends your updates. Apple never tells us who you are.

Blinders keeps these on your Mac, and only on your Mac:

• Your profiles: the name of each one, and the apps it approves.
• Your settings: the mode, the timer lengths, and the shortcut.
• The names of any shortcuts you ask Blinders to run.

All of it sits in the app container inside your own user folder. Delete Blinders and it goes with it.

To do its work, Blinders asks macOS which app is at the front, and where each window is on the screen. It uses the answers immediately, and it keeps none of them.

Blinders does not read the titles of your windows, and it cannot. macOS holds titles back from any app without Screen Recording permission, and Blinders never asks for that permission.

Blinders reads no documents, no keystrokes, no messages, and no browsing history.

Blinders asks for no privacy permission at all. It needs no accessibility access, no screen recording, and no input monitoring.

It runs inside the App Sandbox, which is a limit macOS applies to the app and which the app cannot remove.

Blinders shares nothing with anybody, because it holds nothing to share. There is no third party service inside the app.

If you point Blinders at a shortcut, Blinders asks the Shortcuts app to run it by name. What that shortcut then does is between you and Apple.

If this ever changes, the date at the top changes with it. A change that affects you also arrives in the release notes.
