Privacy

Short version: Noisy Laptop plays sounds when your Mac does things. It doesn't watch you, listen to you, or phone home.

The Mac app

• No analytics, tracking, ads, or accounts.
• Noisy Laptop asks for no system permissions. It reacts to events macOS already announces: power, sleep and wake, screen lock, connected devices, network status, and app launches.
• To detect calls, it checks whether a camera or microphone is in use by another app. It never records, reads, or transmits audio or video.
• Your settings, event log, and license activation are stored locally on your Mac (in the app's preferences and your Keychain). The event log never leaves your Mac.
• When you activate, deactivate, or occasionally re-check a Pro license, the app sends your license key and your Mac's name (so you can tell your activations apart) to Lemon Squeezy's License API. Nothing else.
• Custom sounds you add stay on your Mac.
