Privacy Policy

CutX sends nothing anywhere.

That is the whole policy. Everything below just says it more specifically, so that nothing is left to interpretation.

What CutX does not do

• It does not transmit any personal information, anywhere, ever.
• It has no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no advertising.
• It has no account and no server. CutX makes no network connections of any kind.
• It does not read the contents of your files.

What CutX does on your Mac

• Reads keystrokes to recognise ⌘X and ⌘V. This requires macOS Accessibility permission, which you grant explicitly. Keys are examined in memory only, to decide whether the key is one of the two CutX acts on. Nothing is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. Every other key is passed straight through, untouched.
• Reads the clipboard after Finder copies. On ⌘X, CutX presses Finder's own Copy for you and reads the file locations Finder placed on the clipboard, so it knows what to move; on ⌘V it presses Finder's own Move Item Here. Finder performs the move. CutX sends no Apple Events, requests no Automation permission, and never opens, reads, or modifies the contents of your files.
• Stores your settings — sound choice, volume, language, and the three switches — in your Mac's standard preferences. They stay on your Mac.
• Remembers what you cut and what you moved. CutX keeps four lists in ~/Library/Application Support/CutX/ so they survive a restart: your last 20 cuts, the files gathered on the shelf, the favourite folders you chose yourself, and the last 500 moves CutX made so you can find a file again later. Each holds locations only — folder paths and file names. The contents of your files are never read, none of it leaves your Mac, and every one of these lists can be emptied from the app.

Third parties

There are none. CutX includes no third-party SDKs, frameworks, or services.

Links you can choose to open

The About screen links to GitHub and to Buy Me a Coffee. Opening one hands the URL to your browser; from that point those sites' own privacy policies apply. CutX sends them nothing about you.

Verifying any of this

CutX is open source. The keystroke handling is a single pure function, decide(event:context:), and you can read it at github.com/helalrules7/cutx.

Changes

If this ever changes, it will change here first, and the app's release notes will say so plainly.
