JsonDesk

Privacy Policy

Last updated 13/11/2026

In short: JsonDesk collects no data at all. Your JSON files are read and saved on your Mac, and nothing about you or your files is sent to the developer or anyone else.

What JsonDesk doesn't do

• No analytics, tracking, advertising or crash reporting.
• No accounts and no sign-in.
• No network connections of any kind: your files, their names and their contents never leave your Mac.

What stays on your Mac

• Your files are opened from, and saved to, the places you choose. JsonDesk only writes to a file when you save it.
• JSON you paste in is read from the clipboard only when you press ⌘V or click Paste, and stays in the app until you save it or close the tab.
• The list of recent files and your settings (text size, indent, tree options) are saved in JsonDesk's own folder on your Mac.

Deleting JsonDesk removes this data. The developer never sees any of it.

Buying from the App Store

If you buy JsonDesk from the Mac App Store, Apple handles the purchase under Apple's privacy policy. The developer receives only the anonymous sales and usage figures Apple gives every developer.
