Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 2026

1. Overview

VibeCap is a macOS menu bar application designed to help users capture screenshots and quickly paste them into other applications, such as code editors or chat tools.

VibeCap does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data.

All operations are performed locally on your device.

2. Data Collection

We do not collect any personal information or usage data.

Specifically:

  • We do not collect screenshots
  • We do not collect clipboard contents
  • We do not collect text input or prompts
  • We do not track app usage
  • We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs
  • We do not use cookies or identifiers

VibeCap does not communicate with any external servers.

3. Screen Content

When you take a screenshot using VibeCap:

  • The captured image exists only in memory on your device
  • The image is optionally saved only to a folder you explicitly choose
  • The image is pasted directly into the target application you select

VibeCap never uploads or transmits screenshots outside your device.

4. Permissions

VibeCap requires certain macOS system permissions to function correctly:

Screen Recording

Used solely to capture the screen area you select when taking a screenshot.

Accessibility

Used to simulate keyboard actions (such as paste commands) in the target application you choose.

These permissions are:

  • Requested only when needed
  • Used only for the described functionality
  • Never used to monitor user behavior

5. Local Storage

VibeCap stores limited configuration data locally using macOS system storage, including:

  • Keyboard shortcut preferences
  • Screenshot save location (via security-scoped bookmarks)
  • App settings such as auto-save and launch-at-login

This data never leaves your device.

6. Third-Party Services

VibeCap does not integrate with any third-party services.

We do not use:

  • Analytics providers
  • Cloud storage
  • Advertising networks
  • Crash reporting services

7. Data Sharing

Because VibeCap does not collect data, no data is shared with third parties.

8. Children's Privacy

VibeCap does not collect any data and is safe for users of all ages.

9. Changes to This Policy

If VibeCap's functionality changes in a way that affects privacy, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
