Privacy policy

ScreenSketch is a macOS app published by iMarkr. It does not collect, store or share any personal data. This page explains what the app does with the things it can see, and what this website records.

What the app collects

Nothing. ScreenSketch has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting. The app makes no network requests of its own, so nothing you draw, measure or magnify leaves your Mac.

Screen content

The magnifier has to read the pixels on your screen to enlarge them. macOS asks you for Screen Recording permission the first time you open the magnifier, and you can withdraw it at any time in System Settings.

• Screen frames are read only while the magnifier is open.
• Frames are kept in memory just long enough to draw the enlarged view, then discarded.
• Frames are never written to disk and never sent anywhere.

Drawing, the grid, rulers and measuring work without this permission.

Mouse and keyboard

Global shortcuts are registered with macOS, which tells the app only when one of your chosen shortcuts is pressed. To let you edit for a moment by holding a modifier key (⌥ by default), the app also checks whether that key is down. It does not read anything you type in other apps.

When Click Effects is turned on, the app is told where you click and drag so it can draw the effect at that spot. Clicks are not recorded.

What is saved on your Mac

• Your drawings and pinned measurements, so the canvas is still there the next time you open the app.
• Your settings and shortcuts.

Both are stored inside the app's sandbox container on your Mac. Deleting the app's data removes them. A color value or measurement is placed on the clipboard only when you copy it.

Purchases

The Pro upgrade is sold through Apple's in-app purchase system. Apple handles the payment and tells the app only whether Pro is unlocked. We never see your name, Apple Account or payment details. Apple's handling of your data is covered by Apple's privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever starts handling data differently, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top will change.
