Files stay on the Mac that holds them.

Who

The app and this site are published by Remzi Evli. Questions about this notice go to the Reach page.

The app does not collect an account

Niagara Desktop does not ask you to sign in. It does not include advertising, and it does not include an analytics or crash-reporting service. The privacy manifest shipped with the app states that it does not track you and does not collect data types for tracking.

What it reads on the Mac

A scan starts only after you choose a home folder. The app keeps a security-scoped bookmark on that Mac so it can open the same folder later, and it remembers which places you left on. Those settings do not leave the computer.

For the places that are on, it lists names and sizes so you can review them. Those places are device copies, leftover app containers, Xcode archives, rebuildable symbol files and the simulator cache, and package stores. Documents, Desktop, photos, mail, and passwords are not part of the scan.

Names and sizes are used on the Mac to show the review list. They are not uploaded.

What it does with a match

An item moves to the Trash only after you confirm it. The app does not erase it. You can put it back from the Trash.

The only network call

If a site origin is configured, the first screen requests the notes file on this site. The request does not include your file list, your folder, or an account. If the request fails, the app shows the notes built into it and does not retry with your files.

This site

These pages are static. They do not set cookies, they do not run analytics, and they do not load fonts or scripts from another service. A mail link opens your own mail app. This site does not receive or store a message.

Children

Niagara Desktop is a utility for a Mac you administer. It is not directed at children, and it does not ask for a child’s information.

Changes

If this notice changes, the new text and date replace this page. The app keeps pointing at the same address.
