Short version: the Flip Screen app collects nothing and sends nothing. The website knows only what it needs to sell you Pro.
The app
- What you type. To show the line you are typing above the keyboard, Flip Screen reads the text box you tapped, using the Accessibility permission you grant. It reads it only while the keyboard is up, keeps nothing, and never sends it anywhere.
- Sensors. It reads the lid's motion sensor to know when the Mac is lying flat. That reading stays on your Mac.
- No network. The app makes no network connections of its own. It opens this website in your browser only when you press a button to buy.
- Your unlock. If you buy Pro, the unlock is stored on your Mac and checked on your Mac. It contains a purchase reference, not your name or email.
- Clipboard key (Pro). Remembers the last ten pieces of text you copy so you can paste them again. They are kept in memory only, never saved to disk, never sent anywhere, and are gone when Flip Screen quits. Anything marked secret, and anything copied from a password manager, is never kept.
- Apps key (Pro). Shows the apps you have open, read from your Mac at the moment you open it. Nothing is recorded.
- No analytics, no tracking, no crash reporting from the app.
The website
- Buying. Payment is handled by Stripe. Stripe collects your email and card details under its privacy policy. We receive your email, the amount and whether the payment went through; we never see your card number.
- Downloads. We count how many times the app is downloaded. The count is a single number with nothing attached to it.
- Hosting. The site runs on Cloudflare, which processes requests (including IP addresses) to deliver and protect it, under its privacy policy.
- No cookies, no ads, no third-party trackers.
