What stays on your Mac

Everything GlideStash works with stays on your Mac and is never sent to us: the list of your windows and apps, your layouts, schedule, notes, widgets and their settings, desktop groups and their files, your clipboard history and the events and reminders GlideStash shows. GlideStash reads your calendars, reminders, music and photos through macOS, only for the widgets you add, and only with your permission.

Clipboard History keeps recent copies only in memory while GlideStash runs; starred favorites are saved on your Mac until you un-star them. Items copied from password managers are never kept.

What GlideStash sends

GlideStash goes online only for these, and never to us:

• Your license key. When you enter one, GlideStash sends the key and your Mac’s name to Lemon Squeezy, our payment provider, to activate it, and checks it again now and then while you’re online.
• Updates. Once a day, unless you turn it off in Settings › General, GlideStash asks glidestash.com whether there’s a new version, and downloads it from GitHub if you choose to install it. Only the request itself is sent; nothing about you or your Mac.
• Spotify artwork. When the Music widget shows a song playing in Spotify, it downloads the album artwork from Spotify.
• Images you save. When you save an image from a web page to the File Shelf with GlideStash’s browser extension, GlideStash downloads that image from the site it’s on.

Nothing else is sent: no usage data, no crash reports and nothing about your windows or files.

Buying GlideStash

Purchases are handled by Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record. They collect what’s needed to take payment and send your receipt (such as your name, email address, billing country and payment details) under the Lemon Squeezy privacy policy. We see your order (your name, email and what you bought) so we can help you with it; we never see your card details.

Emailing us

If you email support, we use your message and address only to answer you.
