PadrailPrivacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Padrail collects no personal data. There is no account, no analytics in the app and no tracking.
The app
Padrail runs entirely on your Mac. It reads where your fingers are on the trackpad only to tell when you slide along an edge. Touches are never recorded, stored or sent anywhere.
Your settings, such as what each edge does and the apps where Padrail is paused, are saved only on your Mac. Any permission macOS asks for is used only to do what you set on the edges, like changing the volume or switching tabs.
Updates
About once an hour Padrail checks for a new version by reading a small update file from GitHub, where the app is published. New versions are downloaded from GitHub too. As with any web request, GitHub receives your IP address and basic technical details such as the app version. Padrail sends no identifier and nothing about you or your files. GitHub's privacy statement applies to those requests.
This website
padrail.xyz uses Plausible Analytics to count visits. It sets no cookies and collects no personal data: only totals like pages viewed, the site you came from and your country. The site is hosted on Firebase Hosting by Google, which handles IP addresses to deliver the pages. The Download button takes you to GitHub.
If you write to us, your email address and message are used only to reply to you. They are never shared or sold.
Changes
If this policy changes, this page and the date above will be updated.
