- Local capture stays local Spillway writes to notes providers you configure and processes suggestions on your device unless a feature clearly says otherwise.
- There is no Spillway account Capture is free and needs no sign-up. Pro is bought and managed through the Mac App Store, so Apple handles payment — Spillway never sees or stores your payment details.
- Crash reports are your choice Shipping builds do not send crash reports or usage tracking by default. If we add optional reports, we will ask first.
Privacy Policy
Spillway is built around local capture. Your notes stay on your devices and in the notes app you choose. We do not use your note content to track you.
Effective August 5, 2026. Operator: Oren Digital LLC.
Spillway may process capture text, voice transcripts, vault files, filenames, links, tags, calendar event context, reminder information, app settings, onboarding state, and local diagnostic logs. This data is used to provide capture, autocomplete, daily-note writing, optional Calendar context, optional Reminders sync, and local troubleshooting features.
Purchases are processed entirely by Apple. Spillway receives only whether a Pro entitlement is currently active — no name, email, or payment details — and stores that answer on your Mac so Pro still works offline. Spillway's website and release notes are hosted by service providers that may keep standard server logs for security and reliability.
Spillway does not send note content, vault content, calendar event details, reminder titles, or voice transcripts to Oren Digital LLC or website hosts, and none of it is ever involved in billing. iPhone and iPad voice capture uses the microphone and speech recognition permissions only when you use voice features.
Spillway is distributed through the App Store, so updates are delivered by Apple and Spillway operates no update server of its own. Shipping builds send no crash reports or usage analytics; if that ever changes, we will ask for your consent first.
Spillway asks for permissions only for the features you use: file access for your notes provider (on iPhone and iPad this is Files access, required separately for each connected vault), Accessibility for Mac hotkeys, Calendar for meeting context, Reminders for task sync, and Microphone/Speech Recognition for iOS voice capture. You can revoke these permissions in System Settings or Settings.
Local notes and app data remain on your devices until you edit, delete, or reset them. Spillway keeps no account records, so there is no server-side profile to delete. Billing records are held by Apple under their own retention policy. Privacy questions can be sent to [email protected].
You can revoke any permission, leave crash reports off, delete local app data, and manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. See Privacy Choices for the practical controls.
Oren Digital LLC may update this policy as Spillway changes. Material changes will be posted here. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to [email protected]; support requests can be sent to [email protected].
