Privacy

NotchPal collects nothing. There's no account, no tracking and no ads, in the app or on this website.

The app

Going online. NotchPal only goes online by itself to ask GitHub, once a day, whether there's a new version. That request contains nothing about you or your Mac, and you can switch it off in Settings, under About.
Search and questions. Apple Intelligence answers on your Mac. If you choose to search the web or ask Claude or ChatGPT, NotchPal opens that site in your browser with your question, and that site's own privacy policy applies.
Camera. The camera is only on while the Mirror is open. Nothing is recorded or saved.
Microphone. NotchPal never listens. For Live Activities it only checks which app is using the microphone, never what it hears.
Calendar. Your events are read on your Mac to show today's schedule. They never leave it.
Notifications. With the Accessibility permission, NotchPal reads only the unread counts on Dock icons, never message text.
Your settings and notes are stored on your Mac.

No cookies, no adverts and no tracking scripts.
The page asks GitHub for NotchPal's latest version so the Download button is up to date. GitHub sees that request like any other visit to it.
The demo notch at the top of the page runs entirely in your browser. What you type into it goes nowhere.
The company that hosts this site keeps standard server logs, like any web host.

The code is public, so anyone can check all of this at github.com/MohammedSaif29/NotchPal. To ask something, open an issue or message Mohammed Saif on LinkedIn.
