Privacy policy
Last updated October 27, 2026
The short version: ThreadMyMac doesn't track you. The app has no analytics, and it only goes online to check your license.
The app
What stays on your Mac
To arrange your windows, ThreadMyMac uses macOS's Accessibility permission to read the position, size and title of open windows. This information is used only while the app runs and is never sent anywhere. Your settings and saved layouts (including window titles used to restore them) are stored locally in your user Library folder.
License activation
When you activate, ThreadMyMac sends the following to our payment provider, Dodo Payments, so that the key can be checked and limited to one Mac:
- your license key;
- your Mac's name as set in System Settings › General › About (for example “Alex's MacBook Pro”), so you can recognise the activation later.
Afterwards the app re-checks the key every few days. No other information about you, your Mac, your files or your windows is sent. The license is tied to your Mac using a one-way fingerprint that is calculated and kept on your Mac only.
Crash reports
ThreadMyMac doesn't send crash reports. If you choose to share Apple's crash reports with developers in System Settings, Apple handles those under its own privacy policy.
Purchases
Orders are processed by Dodo Payments, which acts as the merchant of record. Dodo Payments collects your name, email address, billing country and payment details to process the payment, calculate tax and issue your license key. We receive your name, email address and order details so we can provide support and refunds. We never see your full card number.
This website
This website uses no analytics, no advertising and no tracking cookies. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and reliability. When you click Buy, you go to Dodo Payments' checkout page, which is covered by Dodo Payments' privacy policy.
If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply to you. We don't send newsletters unless you ask for them.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing support@threadmymac.com. Deleting the app and its settings folder removes all ThreadMyMac data from your Mac.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
