MyNotch is built to keep your data on your Mac. This policy covers the MyNotch app, this website (getmynotch.com) and buying a license.
The short version
- The app has no account, analytics, telemetry or crash reporting.
- It uses the network only for the features listed below, and only while you have them turned on.
- This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics or third-party scripts.
- Lemon Squeezy, our reseller and Merchant of Record, processes payments and license data.
Who we are
MyNotch is made and sold by [Seller legal name] (“we”). For anything about this policy, email support@getmynotch.com.
The MyNotch app
What leaves your Mac
The network is used only by these features, and only while they are on:
| Feature | Talks to | Sends | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Synced lyrics (off by default, Settings → Now Playing) | lrclib.net |
The song’s title, artist, album and length, plus the app’s name and version | When the lyrics panel opens, or the track changes while the media page is open. Answers are cached on your Mac. |
| Spotify likes and Up Next (Settings → Spotify) | accounts.spotify.com, api.spotify.com |
Your own Spotify app’s client ID, the track being liked, a request for your queue | After you connect Spotify: when you like or unlike a track, and every 10 seconds while the Up Next panel shows |
| Claude usage limits (Agents tab) | api.anthropic.com |
Claude Code’s own sign-in token, read from your Keychain | While the Agents tab is showing, at most once a minute per account, backing off after errors |
| Artwork, when the system’s Now Playing reader is unavailable | The cover image address Spotify reports (i.scdn.co) |
A request for the image | Only in that fallback mode |
| Site icons in the Sources list, YouTube’s next-video thumbnail | The image address the browser extension reports | A request for the image | When a tab with media is listed, or YouTube’s Up Next shows |
We don’t run a server for any of these. The app talks to those services directly, and what they receive is covered by their own policies: LRCLIB, Spotify and Anthropic.
What stays on your Mac
- Clipboard history, text recognition in images (Apple Vision, on device), the shelf and your calendar data never leave your Mac.
- The browser extension talks to a small helper inside the app, which passes messages to the app over a connection only your user account can open. No network port is opened.
- Connecting Spotify listens on
127.0.0.1:43821, on your Mac only, until the sign-in completes. - Coding agents talk to the app through files in
~/Library/Application Support/com.getmynotch.app/Agents. Answers you give from the notch go back the same way.
You can turn off clipboard history at any time and delete it in Settings → Clipboard.
Permissions
MyNotch asks for each permission only when you turn on a feature that needs it, one at a time:
- Accessibility: plain-text paste, and replacing the volume and brightness pop-ups
- Calendar: your upcoming meetings
- Camera: Mirror, and only while its tab is showing. Nothing is recorded.
- Bluetooth: AirPods and Bluetooth battery levels
- Full Disk Access: Focus mode pop-ups
The Lock Screen card is off by default. When it’s on, anyone at your Mac can see what’s playing and control playback while the Mac is locked.
Buying a license
Purchases are handled by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as our reseller and Merchant of Record. Lemon Squeezy processes your payment and license data, such as your name, email address, billing address, payment details and license key, under its own privacy policy.
From Lemon Squeezy we receive your name, email address, country, order details and license key, so we can manage licenses, handle refunds and answer support requests. We never see your full card details. We don’t sell this data or use it for advertising.
This website
getmynotch.com is a static site. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads no third-party scripts or fonts. Like most web servers, our host may keep standard request logs (such as IP address, browser and the page requested) for a short time to keep the site running and secure. We don’t use them to track you.
If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply and help you, and keep them only as long as that takes.
Your choices and rights
Because the app keeps its data on your Mac, you’re in control of it: turn features off, clear clipboard history, or delete the app. For data about your purchase, email us at support@getmynotch.com to see, correct or delete it, or contact Lemon Squeezy directly. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under local law, such as the GDPR.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top.
