Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 July 2026

Flyout is a Mac app that keeps your notes on your Mac. This page explains the little that leaves it.

Your notes never leave your device

Notes, quick pages, images and reminders are stored locally on your Mac using SwiftData. There is no cloud account, no telemetry and no analytics SDK. We cannot read your notes because we never receive them.

Reminders are scheduled with the macOS notification centre on your own machine. They are not sent to a server.

What we store when you buy

When you purchase a license, our payment processor (Stripe) handles the payment and shares your email address and name with us. We store your email, your name, the generated license key and the purchase date so we can deliver the key and re-send it if you lose it.

We never see or store your card details. Stripe processes them under its own privacy policy.

Device activation

A license can be activated on two Macs. To enforce that, the app sends a hardware identifier to our server, which stores only an irreversible SHA-256 hash of it — never the raw identifier. The hash lets us count seats; it cannot be turned back into anything that identifies your machine.

You can release a seat at any time from Settings › License, which deletes that activation record.

Updates

If automatic updates are enabled, the app periodically requests our update feed. That request carries the information any web request carries — your IP address and the app version. We do not build profiles from it.

Your rights and how to reach us

You can ask us to delete your purchase record at any time. Note that deleting it means we can no longer re-send your license key.

Write to hello@getflyout.app for any privacy question, data export or deletion request.
