TL;DR

RenderFocus collects zero data. No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports, no network calls. Everything runs locally on your machine.

1. Information We Collect

None. RenderFocus does not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal information, usage data, or system telemetry. The application operates entirely offline with no network capabilities.

2. System Access

RenderFocus requires the following system-level access to function:

Process List (NSWorkspace) Read-only
Thread Scheduling (taskpolicy) Via XPC Daemon
Touch ID / Admin Password One-time setup
Network Access None

3. XPC Daemon

RenderFocus installs a privileged helper daemon (com.renderfocus.helper) via Apple's SMAppService API. This daemon runs with root privileges solely to execute taskpolicy(2) commands for thread scheduling. It does not access files, network, or any user data. The daemon can be removed at any time from System Settings → Login Items.

4. Third-Party Services

RenderFocus uses no third-party SDKs, analytics frameworks, crash reporters, or external services of any kind. There are no embedded trackers, no Firebase, no Sentry, no Amplitude — nothing.

5. Data Storage

RenderFocus does not write any data to disk beyond what macOS requires for application operation (e.g., the LaunchDaemon plist registered via SMAppService). No logs, no databases, no configuration files are created.

6. Updates

RenderFocus does not auto-update. New versions are distributed manually via the official website. Since there is no network access, the application cannot check for updates on its own.
