LayoutCLI ("the App") is a native macOS application built by LayoutCLI ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information we handle, what we never see, and the choices you have.
Data Stays on Your Mac
LayoutCLI is a local-first app. Your terminal sessions, panes, layouts, saved workspaces, notes, and calendar preferences are stored on your device. We do not have servers that receive, sync, or store this content, and we cannot read it.
Information We Collect
- App content (local only): sessions, layouts, notes, and preferences never leave your Mac unless you explicitly export them.
- Purchase information: purchases are handled by Apple via the Mac App Store (and our licensing provider, RevenueCat). We receive purchase status and entitlement info only — never your name, email, or payment details.
- Diagnostics: we do not collect crash reports, usage analytics, or device identifiers.
What We Never Collect
- Command history, shell output, or anything typed in the terminal
- File contents from folders you open
- Screenshots, keystrokes, or clipboard data
- Contact details, payment card numbers, or advertising identifiers
Payments
Pro purchases are completed through Apple's payment system. Apple collects payment information under its own privacy policy; we only receive confirmation that your Pro entitlement is active. Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with App Store rules.
Third-Party Services
The App does not embed advertising networks, trackers, or third-party SDKs that transmit personal data. The only third parties involved in a purchase are Apple and RevenueCat, which process transaction status on our behalf.
Retention & Deletion
Because your content is stored locally, deleting the app from your Mac removes it. You can also delete individual sessions, layouts, and notes from within the App at any time.
Children
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
Changes to This Policy
If the App's behavior ever changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date above.
