Privacy Policy

Last updated September 13, 2026

ScreenSorts is a local-first Mac app. This policy is short because there isn't much to say: the app does not collect, transmit, or store any of your data anywhere but your own Mac.

What ScreenSorts does on your Mac

• Indexes screenshots in folders you choose (e.g. Desktop, Documents, Downloads) so you can search and browse them.
• Runs on-device OCR (via Apple's Vision framework) to make text in your screenshots searchable.
• Stores its search index, thumbnails, and any notes you add locally in your user folder.

What ScreenSorts does not do

• No account or sign-in of any kind.
• No analytics, tracking, or crash reporting.
• No network requests — ScreenSorts does not talk to any server, including ours. Nothing is uploaded, ever.
• No data is sold or shared with third parties, because no data ever leaves your device.

File access

ScreenSorts runs inside Apple's App Sandbox. It only reads folders you explicitly grant it access to (via the system file picker or folder-watch permission prompts), and it only writes its own index and thumbnails to its private app data folder.
