privacy
the app
laylow runs entirely on your Mac. it has no network access: your audio and transcripts never leave your machine, and the app phones home to no one, not even us. no accounts, no telemetry, no crash reporting.
verify it, don't trust us
the easy check: turn off wifi. laylow keeps transcribing like nothing happened, because nothing did. and the only permission it ever asks macOS for is the microphone. no access to your files, your screen, or your keystrokes, so there is nothing to quietly misuse later.
the technical check, if you speak terminal: the shipped binary links no networking frameworks at all. an app without networking code cannot upload your audio, your transcripts, or anything else, no matter what its privacy policy says.
$ otool -L /Applications/laylow.app/Contents/MacOS/laylow | grep -i -e Security -e Network $ no output. there is nothing to find.
buying a license
checkout happens on Stripe. your card details go to Stripe and never touch our servers. after a purchase, Stripe tells us the email address you entered and your order id. we use those to generate your license key and email it to you (delivered through Resend), and for nothing else. we keep no customer database of our own: your purchase record lives in Stripe, and your license key is derived from your email and order id.
the website
laylow.app is hosted on Vercel. we use Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookieless and anonymous: aggregate page views, country, and device type, with no cookies, no cross-site tracking, and no advertising networks. the site sets no cookies. the app download is served from GitHub, which sees the standard request metadata any web server sees.
we email you your license key when you buy, and we reply when you write to us. no marketing lists, no newsletters.
your data
to see or delete what exists about you, email billing@laylow.app. in practice that is your purchase record in Stripe, which we retain as long as tax and accounting law requires.
changes
the current version of this policy always lives at laylow.app/privacy.
