What leaves your Mac

By default, two things: linking your license to your Apple ID when you activate it, then a check once a day, and a daily look for a new version that sends only DOCKERDRE’s version, which you can switch off in Settings. Everything else is off until you turn it on: iCloud settings sync, and sending a problem report. No analytics, no crash reporting, and never a window picture or title. The sections below say what each one carries.

Window pictures

DOCKERDRE takes still pictures of your windows when you switch apps and while a preview is open, so the next glance is instant. They stay in memory only, each window's last picture until that window closes, and are retaken as you use it. They are never written to disk and never leave your Mac. Settings has a switch to keep nothing between glances. Window search reads window titles to filter them and keeps them only while its palette is open.

Information we handle

Optional iCloud sync stores your preferences in your private iCloud database. Activating a license stores a one-way hash of the license and of your iCloud account in CloudKit, so the same purchase works on every Mac signed in to that account. DOCKERDRE checks that record at most once a day, so a license released on one Apple ID and activated on another moves with it. We do not receive your Apple ID.

Paddle handles purchases and collects the information needed for payment, tax, receipts, and support. High5 Labs receives the buyer email and transaction reference needed to deliver and recover a license. We never receive card details.

The newsletter

If you sign up, we keep your email address to send DOCKERDRE news, new features and discounts, and nothing else. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing stops them.

Update checks

Once a day DOCKERDRE asks our server whether a newer version exists. That request carries the app version and nothing about you or your Mac. You can turn automatic checks off in Settings.

Diagnostics

Local diagnostics contain operational counts and timing only. They do not contain window titles, app names, images, license keys, or interaction history.

Problem reports

Report a Problem sends nothing until you press Send. Then it sends what you wrote, DOCKERDRE’s version, your macOS version, your Mac’s model, a random install id, and DOCKERDRE’s own diagnostics log, to High5 Labs. Never window pictures, window titles, or app names, and no email address unless you write to us.
