Overview
Leaf is a macOS menu bar app that tracks application usage and sends inactivity notifications. It collects no personal information. The only network request it makes is a periodic update check described below.
Data stored locally
Leaf stores your preferences locally on your Mac using macOS UserDefaults — things like your notification threshold, launch at login setting, and per-app notification preferences. This data never leaves your device.
Application usage tracking
Leaf monitors which apps are running on your Mac to detect inactivity. This is processed entirely on your device, held in memory only while the app is running, and never saved to disk or transmitted anywhere.
Software updates
Leaf periodically checks for updates by fetching a file from our website. This request includes your app version and CPU architecture only. No personally identifiable information is sent.
