Privacy.
Foldspell works locally. Your shortcuts, apps, windows, and searches stay on your Mac.
Effective September 1, 2026
Accessibility
Foldspell uses macOS Accessibility APIs to detect its keyboard gesture and to inspect, focus, resize, or move windows when you ask it to. Window titles, app names, bundle identifiers, search text, keyboard shortcuts, and window contents are not sent to analytics.
macOS may ask for Finder automation only if you ask Foldspell to reopen Finder.
Anonymous analytics
Foldspell uses TelemetryDeck to record a small number of coarse events: app launch, overlay mode, completed action category, and Accessibility setup outcome.
Events include an anonymized installation identifier, timestamp, Foldspell version, build, macOS version, and device type. They never include your name, email, apps, window titles, searches, shortcuts, files, or free-form text.
You can disable analytics at any time in Foldspell Settings. Disabling it stops new and pending transmissions immediately. Read TelemetryDeck's privacy information.
Beta downloads and email updates
When you download the Foldspell beta, we collect your email address and basic download activity. We use this information only to provide the beta and send occasional beta, release, and product updates.
We do not sell this information or use it for advertising. Service providers may process it only to operate the website and deliver email. We keep it until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it at contact@foldspell.com.
Questions and requests
Because Foldspell does not send directly identifying analytics, analytics ordinarily cannot be searched by a person's name or email.
