Privacy Policy

Short version: Sheaf doesn’t collect anything. Your files stay on your Mac.

Last updated November 3, 2026

Your files

Everything Sheaf does (compressing, merging, splitting, converting, reading text with OCR, signing, redacting and password-protecting) happens on your Mac. Sheaf never uploads your files or their contents anywhere.

No accounts, analytics or tracking

Sheaf has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. The developer receives no information about you or how you use the app.

What stays on your Mac

Sheaf keeps its settings, a saved signature (if you create one), which actions you use most (to order them), and simple counts such as how many files it has handled. These stay on your Mac and are deleted when you delete the app.

Network use

Sheaf only uses the internet in two cases: Apple’s App Store handles the free trial and purchases (see Apple’s Privacy Policy), and when you convert a web page file (HTML) to PDF, images or styles that page links to may be loaded so it looks right.

Permissions

If you allow it, Sheaf uses your home folder only to save new files next to your originals and to watch folders you choose. It reads your Finder selection only when you press its shortcut. Notifications are only used for watched folders and trial reminders.

Children

Sheaf doesn’t collect personal information from anyone, including children.
