Privacy
Notchy has no accounts and no analytics. This page says exactly what leaves your Mac.
What the app sends
- Free trial: the first time Notchy opens, an anonymous hash of your Mac (not its serial number or hardware ID) goes to notchy.synquic.cloud so the start of your trial can be remembered. Nothing else is sent.
- License activation: your license key and an anonymous hash of your Mac (not its serial number or hardware ID), to notchy.synquic.cloud, when you activate and about once a month to renew.
- AI questions, only if you turn them on: a short text summary of your Mac status (which coding agents are running by project folder name, which databases are listening, CPU, memory and battery) to the provider you chose, your own Claude API key or a model on your own Mac. Calendar titles and the current song are included only if you allow it in Settings. Your API key stays in your Keychain.
What stays on your Mac
- Clipboard history is kept in memory only and is gone when you quit. Passwords copied from password managers are skipped. Images are read for text on your Mac.
- Calendar events are read from your calendar when needed and are not stored by Notchy.
- The files on your shelf are only remembered as locations, in memory.
- For coding agents Notchy reads the process list and the modified time of the agents' own session files. It never opens your prompts, code or transcripts.
What we keep when you buy
Your email address, your license, the payments reference from our payment provider, the anonymous hashes of the Macs that activated it, and the date each Mac's free trial started. Card details go to the payment provider and never touch our server. We use your email only to send your key and answer you.
