Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2026

Tabtile is built to keep what it sees on your Mac. This policy explains what stays on your Mac, what leaves it and why. Questions: [email protected].

What stays on your Mac

To arrange windows, Tabtile reads which apps and windows are open, their positions, sizes and titles. Your presets, desktop and display settings, the window places it restores, and — only if you turn it on — the time you spend in each app are stored in Tabtile's folder on your Mac (~/Library/Application Support/Tabtile). None of this is sent anywhere. With Screen Recording allowed, Tabtile takes pictures of windows only to animate their moves; the pictures stay in memory for the length of the animation and are never saved or sent.

What leaves your Mac

• Your account. Tabtile needs you to sign in with Google. Google gives our server your name, email address and Google account ID. The server keeps them with your purchases and the devices you use Tabtile on: for each one, a random identifier made by Tabtile and the Mac's name, so you can see and remove them in your Tabtile account. If another user adds you to their plan, the server keeps your email address so that the subscription turns on when you sign in; you can leave the plan, and they can remove you.
• Subscription checks. From time to time Tabtile asks our server whether the subscription is active on this Mac, sending its identifier. Without a connection the subscription keeps working for 7 days.
• Update checks. Tabtile asks this website whether a newer version exists. The request includes the app version and the macOS version, like any web request it reveals your IP address, and nothing else.

Tabtile has no analytics, advertising or tracking of any kind.

Purchases

Orders are processed by Dodo Payments, the Merchant of Record. Your card details go to Dodo Payments and never reach us. We receive your name, email address, country and order details to link the purchase to your account and to answer support requests. Dodo Payments' own privacy policy covers the data it processes.

Email

We use your email address only for your account, your orders and replies to your messages. We do not send newsletters unless you ask for them.

This website

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics. The server may keep standard access logs (IP address, page, time) for security and troubleshooting, for no longer than 30 days.

Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal data. We share it only with Dodo Payments to process orders, and when the law requires it. Signing in goes through Google, whose own privacy policy covers what it processes.

Your rights

You can ask us to show, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, or object to its use, by writing to [email protected]. Removing Tabtile's folder from your Mac deletes everything Tabtile stored there.

Children

Tabtile is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We will post any change to this policy on this page and update the date at the top.
