🔒 the short version
Your screen stays yours
Last updated: June 4, 2026
🌱 Local-first promise:screen content, strokes, keystrokes and settings never leave your computer. There's no server to leak them from.
🖊️ 1. What we never collect
Annotate draws over your screen locally. Drawing paths, colors, text notes and cursor positions live in memory while you present — they're never stored, screenshotted, or uploaded anywhere.
🔑 2. License activation
Your license key is validated inside the app. No telemetry, no hardware fingerprinting, no email tracking during activation.
💾 3. Local settings file
Brush sizes, colors, hotkeys and launch preferences live in a tiny config.json in your AppData folder. Delete it anytime to reset — nothing syncs to a cloud.
📝 4. Changes
If this policy ever changes for a future feature, we'll post the update right here on this page.
