Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 2, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how MarkPad (“we”, “our”, or “us”) handles user information.
1. Overview
MarkPad is designed with a local-first approach.
Currently:
- No account registration is required
- No cloud sync is provided
- No iCloud sync is provided
- No remote note storage is provided
Your notes are primarily stored locally on your own device.
2. Information We Collect
Information Stored Locally
MarkPad may store the following locally on your device:
- Notes and markdown files
- Application preferences
- Window and editor settings
- Backup files created by the app
- Secure tab metadata
This information is generally not transmitted to our servers.
Purchase Information
For paid features and subscriptions, Apple may provide us limited transaction information, such as:

- Anonymous transaction identifiers
We do not receive your full payment information.
3. Analytics and Diagnostics
At this time, MarkPad does not intentionally collect personal note content from users.
Future versions may include optional analytics or crash reporting features to improve app stability and usability.
If analytics are introduced in future releases, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
4. Local Data Security
MarkPad may use macOS security features such as:
- Touch ID

However, no method of electronic storage is completely secure.
Users are responsible for:

When you export notes or files using MarkPad, those files are managed by you and your operating system.
We are not responsible for:
- Third-party access to exported files

6. Children’s Privacy
MarkPad is not specifically directed toward children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
