Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Key Press Counter does not collect, transmit or share any data. This page explains what the app keeps on your Mac and what it never touches.

What the app stores

• Key counts. For each day, 24 whole numbers: how many keys were pressed in each hour, plus the date they belong to.
• Your notes. The text you write in the app's own note field, when you wrote it, the reminder you chose for it (a day and time, or a break length), and whether you marked it as done.
• Your sound choice. Whether the background sound is off, rain or wind, so the app remembers it.

All of this lives inside the app's own sandbox container on your Mac. It is never sent anywhere. Deleting a note removes it; deleting the app removes everything.

What the app never stores or reads

• Which keys you press, key codes or characters
• What you type in other apps, in any form
• Which application you are typing in
• When individual keys were pressed: counts are kept per hour
• Your location
• Any identifier for you or your Mac

Counting

The app knows how many keys were pressed, never which ones, so it cannot see what you type. It needs no special permission to count. Keys typed in password fields are not counted.

Notifications

Reminders are delivered by macOS on your Mac; nothing passes through a server. The app asks for permission to show notifications only when you set your first reminder. A notification shows the text of its note, according to your notification settings.

The sky

The sky follows your Mac's clock, date and time zone. The app never asks for your location.

Sound

The app never uses the microphone and records nothing.

Shared clips

A clip is made only when you ask for it. It shows today's counts and the sky, never your notes, and goes only where you choose to share it.

Network, accounts and third parties

The app has no network access. There is no account, no sign-in, no cloud sync, no crash reporting, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party code.

Launch at login

If you enable it, the app registers itself with macOS to start when you log in. This is optional, uses the standard macOS login-item mechanism, and can be switched off at any time from the app or from System Settings.

Children

The app collects no data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever changes what it stores, this page will be updated first and the change described plainly. The date at the top reflects the current version.
