Privacy Policy

Joltr collects no personal data. No analytics. No crash reports. No user accounts. Your screenshot files never leave your Mac unless you explicitly opt into Gemini AI tagging — in which case images go directly from your machine to Google's servers, not ours. We have no backend, no database of user data, and no way to identify you.

• No personal information of any kind
• No analytics or usage telemetry
• No crash reports or error logs sent anywhere
• No device identifiers or fingerprints
• No cookies, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts

All screenshots, clipboard captures, thumbnails, tags, folders, descriptions, color palettes and the text Joltr reads from your images are stored locally, in a folder you choose and an SQLite database beside it. Reading the text inside an image happens on your Mac. None of this data is ever transmitted to Joltr or any third-party server. No account is required to use the app.

Joltr optionally supports AI-powered tagging via Google's Gemini API. This feature is completely opt-in and requires you to supply your own Gemini API key.

Your API key is stored locally in Joltr's SQLite settings table on your Mac. It is never transmitted to Joltr, any Joltr server, or any third party other than Google.

When you enable Gemini tagging, the images you import are sent directly from your Mac to Google's Gemini API, which returns tags, a description and a file name. This is the only time image data leaves your machine. Google's own privacy policy governs how they handle that data.

Joltr only makes outbound network requests in two situations:

1. Gemini AI tagging — when you have opted in and Joltr sends an image to Google's Gemini API for analysis.
2. Auto-updater — when it starts, Joltr checks GitHub Releases to see if a newer version is available. No personal data is sent; it's a plain version check against a public URL.

That's it. There are no background beacons, no heartbeat pings, and no data ever sent to any Joltr-owned server because there isn't one. The feedback links in the app open pages in your browser (a Tally form and GitHub); nothing is sent unless you fill one in.

This website uses no cookies, no tracking pixels, no advertising scripts, and no third-party analytics. There is nothing here to opt out of.

If you have questions about this policy, open a GitHub Discussion. That's the fastest way to reach us.
