Privacy

Short version: the app collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no network code at all.

What it reads#

To do its job it reads, through the macOS Accessibility API:

• the list of open windows, their owning app, their title, position and size
• which display and desktop each window is on (via the window server)

That is all. It does not read window contents, documents, keystrokes, the clipboard, or anything about you.

Where that goes#

Nowhere. There is no network code in the app — no URLSession, no sockets, no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no update check. You can verify it:

grep -rn 'URLSession\|import Network' app/Sources     # no matches

What it writes stays on the Mac, in your own Application Support folder:

All are plain JSON you can read, edit or delete. Deleting them resets the app; deleting the app leaves nothing else behind.

Logs#

The app writes sparse entries to the macOS unified log (subsystem com.deskmap.app): desktop moves, give-ups, unresponsive apps, display changes, sleep and wake. App names and display names appear in the clear so the log is useful; window titles are never logged. These entries stay on your Mac like every other system log and are not collected by anyone.

Permissions it asks for#

• Accessibility — required, and the only one. Without it the app can neither see window titles nor move windows.

It does not ask for Screen Recording, Full Disk Access, Contacts, Calendar, Microphone, Camera, or anything else. If any app claiming to be this one asks for those, it is not this one.
