Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Glimpse handles information when you use the app. We aim to keep document workflows private and straightforward.

Summary

Glimpse is a macOS app for viewing and working with markdown documents. Your document content is meant to stay on your Mac as part of normal app usage. We do not sell your personal information.

Information Glimpse processes

Depending on how you use the app, Glimpse may process:

  • markdown files and folders you choose to open on your Mac
  • basic local app preferences such as recent files, themes, and window state
  • purchase and subscription state provided through Apple's in-app purchase systems
  • crash and diagnostic data used to improve app stability

Documents and local files

Glimpse works with the files and folders you explicitly select. Those files are used to render previews, browse folders, export documents, and support features such as search, presentation mode, and Quick Look previews.

We do not operate a cloud document service for Glimpse. Your files remain in the locations you manage on your device unless you export or share them yourself.

AI features

Glimpse may offer on-device AI features on supported versions of macOS and compatible hardware. When those features are available, document content used for that functionality is intended to stay on your device as part of Apple's on-device intelligence capabilities.

If future versions of Glimpse introduce cloud-based AI processing, this policy will be updated before those features are made available.

Crash reporting and diagnostics

Glimpse uses Sentry for crash reporting and diagnostic monitoring. This may include technical information such as crash traces, device details, app version, and performance metadata needed to diagnose failures.

Diagnostic tools are used to improve reliability and fix bugs faster. They are not used to read or resell your documents.

Subscriptions and purchases

Subscriptions, free trials, renewals, billing, and purchase restoration are handled through Apple's App Store and StoreKit systems. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

How information is used

  • to open, render, search, export, and present your documents
  • to remember your app preferences and recent workflow state
  • to validate access to paid features and restore purchases
  • to diagnose crashes, improve stability, and support users

Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that help operate Glimpse, such as crash reporting or Apple's purchase infrastructure, only for the purposes described in this policy.

Your choices

  • open only the files or folders you want Glimpse to access
  • contact support if you have questions about privacy or account issues
  • manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple account settings
