Glance collects nothing

The app reads files from disk and stops there

Last updated 2026-05-13

No data collection

No network calls

Glance runs offline. The app does not contact any server, including ours. Open Activity Monitor to verify.

File access

Glance opens files you select in Finder, drop onto the dock, or preview through Quick Look. The app reads files locally and writes nothing back.

Crash reports

macOS shows a system dialog after a crash and asks if you want to share the report with Apple. Glance receives nothing from this flow. Sharing stays your choice.

Changes to this policy

Updates appear on this page with a new date at the top. The promise stays the same. Glance reads markdown and nothing else leaves your Mac.
