Privacy.

The app

• No account, no sign-in, no email address.
• Your layouts, scenes, workflows, presets and settings are stored on your Mac, in the app's own settings.
• There is no analytics and no crash reporting inside the app.
• Your touches, gestures and settings never leave your Mac.
• The app contacts Polar, the payment provider and merchant of record, in two cases: when you activate a license, and when it quietly re-checks that license now and then while you are online. The request carries the license key, a name for your Mac and an identifier for this install, and nothing about how you use Rimline. The trial needs no request. Polar has its own privacy policy.
• The update check is off until you turn it on in General. When it is on, Rimline asks GitHub once a day whether a newer version exists and shows what is new before anything installs. It installs only when you press Install Update, and an update is accepted only if its signature matches the key built into the app.
• Send feedback opens a draft issue in your browser with a report filled in. Nothing is sent until you read it and submit it.
• Copy diagnostics puts a plain report on your clipboard: version and build, macOS, the Mac model, whether Accessibility is granted, where Rimline lives, the finish, which gestures and guards are on, and counts of scenes, app layouts, saved presets and places in use. It names no app, file, shortcut or layout.

The permission it asks for

Accessibility lets Rimline read touches on the trackpad and move and resize windows. Two actions ask for more the first time you use them: dark mode asks to control System Events, and screenshots use the macOS shortcuts. Rimline does not read your screen contents or what you type.

Gesture commands from other people

A .rimline file from someone else can contain commands. Rimline counts them and keeps them out unless you switch them on.

The waitlist

Before Rimline opens for download, this website has a waitlist. If you join it:

• What is stored. Your email address, the date and time you joined, and the page you joined from (the home, download or pricing page). Nothing else: no IP address, no browser details, no cookie.
• Why. To send you one email on the day Rimline opens, and for no other purpose. It is not shared, sold or used for anything else, and there is no newsletter.
• How long. Until a month after Rimline opens, then the list is deleted. If you ask to be removed sooner, your address is deleted.
• Who holds it. Cloudflare, which hosts this website, stores the list in its Workers KV database. Cloudflare is the only processor. Like any host it sees the address of the device that sends a request, and it uses that for a short in-memory limit on how many sign-ups one device can send per minute. That limit is not stored.
• The email itself. It goes out once, when Rimline opens. If a mail service is used to send it, it will be named on this page first.

This website

This site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without following you across sites. There is no cookie banner because there are no cookies to ask about. The only form is the waitlist above, and the site has no accounts and no third-party scripts besides that counter. When the checkout opens, payments will be handled by Polar, who will be the merchant of record and will have their own privacy policy.
