What Exporter reads and writes on your Mac, and the little it sends.

Please [report](mailto:exporter@tinysend.com) any security vulnerability. If there is a security breach, I promise to disclose it.

## What stays on your Mac

- your notes, messages, contacts, Screen Time, Bear and Logseq data and documents are read on your Mac, and the exports are written to folders you choose on your Mac
- there is no account and no server that holds your content; nothing you export is uploaded
- the Apple Notes database is opened read-only, and the other apps' data and your documents are only read too
- the [MCP server](https://exporter.dev/docs/mcp) listens on 127.0.0.1, so only apps on your own Mac can reach it, and it only reads your exports

## What leaves it

- the app sends anonymous events, never content: no note or folder titles, no paths, no bodies, no exact counts, only rough size buckets. The id it uses is a random token that maps to nothing, not your purchase. Turn analytics off in the app's settings and nothing is sent
- purchases go through the App Store, and Apple handles the payment
- a diagnostic report leaves only when you send one. `exporter report` on [the command line](https://exporter.dev/docs/cli) prints it and copies it to your clipboard; `exporter report --send` submits it, with your address if you add `--email`. It carries the app version, macOS and hardware, connection state, recent runs and the last crash, and no note contents
- feedback leaves only when you send it from the app's feedback sheet: what you write, your email unless you send it anonymously, and the app's info and purchase status only if you include them
