Local Operation Only

Keyboard Metrics operates exclusively on your local device:

• No Data Collection: We don't collect any data about your typing patterns or keyboard usage.
• Local Processing: All statistics and heatmaps are generated directly on your device.
• No Internet Required: The app works completely offline.

Not a Keylogger

It's important to understand that Keyboard Metrics is fundamentally different from a keylogger:

• No Content Recording: We never record or store the actual keys you type - only patterns and statistics
• Visible Operation: The app runs visibly in your menu bar, not hidden
• User Control: You can pause or stop tracking at any time
• Mac App Store: Our app passes Apple's strict privacy requirements
• Offline Only: Unlike keyloggers, we never transmit any data

Your Data Stays With You

Keyboard Metrics is built with privacy-first principles:

• All keystroke data remains exclusively on your device
• No data is ever uploaded or transmitted
• No analytics or tracking systems
• No user accounts or registration required

System Permissions

Keyboard Metrics requires minimal system permissions to function:

• Accessibility: To detect keyboard input for local statistics
• Notifications: For optional local milestone notifications

Data Storage and Control

You have complete control over your data:

• View and export your typing statistics directly from your device
• Clear local data at any time
• Customize tracking settings as needed
• All data is stored locally in a secure format

Changes to This Privacy Policy

While we may update this privacy policy to reflect app improvements, our core commitment to zero data collection and local-only operation will remain unchanged.
