Privacy
Last updated 3 November 2026. Plain version: your files stay on your Mac, and we don’t collect anything about what’s in them.
What the app does with your files
- Fetchy reads the folders you choose to show previews, sizes, dates and where downloads came from.
- Text in images is read on your Mac with Apple’s Vision framework. The results are kept in a cache on your Mac (in ~/Library/Application Support/Fetchy) so search is fast.
- None of this is sent anywhere. There is no account and no server that receives your files, filenames or search terms.
When the app goes online
- To check your licence key. We send the key and an anonymous ID for this Mac.
- To check for updates. We see that a copy of Fetchy asked, and its version.
When you buy
Payments are handled by our payment provider, which acts as the merchant of record. It receives your name, email and payment details to process the order and send your licence key. We receive your email and order details to support you. We never see your full card number.
Questions or deletion
Email support@tryfetchy.app to ask what we hold about you or to have it deleted.
