Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 23, 2026

The Short Version

SpellType suggestions run locally on your Mac. SpellType does not ask for Screen Recording permission, does not send your writing to us for autocomplete, and can send at most one opt-out daily aggregate app-health signal.

What SpellType Does

SpellType is a macOS app that provides private autocomplete suggestions while you write in supported apps without watching your screen.

Permissions

SpellType uses macOS Accessibility permission for autocomplete support in supported apps. SpellType does not ask for Screen Recording permission and does not take screenshots.

Data We Do Not Collect

Daily App-Health Analytics

SpellType can send one aggregate app-health signal per install per UTC day when analytics is enabled in Privacy settings. This signal contains coarse counters and dimensions such as suggestion counts, quota state, app version, app build, release channel, macOS major version, processor architecture, license tier, update setting, launch-at-login setting, end-of-day pause state, and autocomplete latency buckets.

Daily app-health analytics does not include writing, prompts, suggestion text, suggestion history, nearby text, app names, bundle IDs, URLs, window titles, file names, exact location, timezone, emails, license keys, model names, or implementation details. Turning analytics off stops future sends and clears unsent local analytics payloads.

Website Launch Counts

The website keeps aggregate launch counts for page visits and app downloads. These counters do not store email addresses, visitor IDs, IP addresses, user agents, writing, keystrokes, screen content, clipboard content, or app window content.

Launch Offer Email Claims

If you claim a launch offer, SpellType stores the email address you submit so we can hold your offer spot, create a one-use Lemon Squeezy checkout coupon, connect completed checkout webhooks back to the claimed offer, and help with licensing support. This email claim data is separate from website visit and app download counters.

Free Plan and Licensing

Free-plan limits and Pro access require lightweight checks for anonymous install status, accepted-suggestion counts, checkout status, and license status. These checks do not include typed text, autocomplete suggestions, prompts, nearby text, screen content, clipboard content, or personal writing.

When you activate, validate, or deactivate a license, SpellType sends the license key you enter to SpellType's backend and Lemon Squeezy for license processing. The SpellType app stores the raw license key locally on your Mac so it can revalidate your license. SpellType's backend stores a hash of the license key plus Lemon Squeezy license, order, product, variant, and subscription identifiers for entitlement and activation support; it does not store the raw license key.

Network Connections

SpellType suggestions keep running locally. Network access is limited to practical product needs such as:

Third-Party Services

SpellType uses third-party services only for product delivery, website hosting, checkout, licensing, updates, and aggregate app-health analytics. These services are not used to generate autocomplete suggestions from your writing.

Children's Privacy

SpellType is not directed to children under 13.
