Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

Short version: Recaptr doesn't collect anything. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your recordings stay on your Mac.

What Recaptr touches

• Camera and capture cards. Used only to show the preview and record the source you pick.
• Microphones and audio inputs. Used only to meter, monitor, and record the audio you pick.
• Screen Recording. Used only when you choose a display or window as your source.
• Files. Recordings and their Final Cut marker files are saved to the folder you choose. Recaptr doesn't read anything else.

macOS asks for each of these permissions the first time. You can turn any of them off in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Apple Intelligence

If you turn on marker and episode naming, Recaptr uses Apple's on-device model to look at a few frames around each marker and listen to your mic track, then suggests short names. This runs entirely on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, and the transcript isn't saved. The first time, macOS may download Apple's speech model for your language; that download comes from Apple, not from Recaptr. The setting is off-able any time in Settings → Naming.

What Recaptr doesn't do

• No data leaves your Mac. Recaptr makes no network requests of its own.
• No third-party SDKs, analytics, or crash reporters.
• No data is sold or shared, because none is collected.

If you opt in to sharing crash reports with developers in macOS, Apple may pass along anonymous crash logs. That's handled by Apple under its own privacy policy.

Kids

Recaptr isn't directed at children and doesn't knowingly collect anything from anyone, kids included.

Changes
