Windy NotePrivacy Policy
Windy Note is a sticky note app for the desktop. This policy explains what the app does with your information.
The short version
Windy Note does not collect, send or share any of your information. Everything you write stays on your computer.
What the app stores
Your notes, their decorations, their reminder times and your settings are saved in a folder on your own computer. They are not uploaded anywhere.
What the app reads
- Clipboard: when you press the shortcut or choose "New Note from Clipboard", the app reads the text you copied and, if your browser recorded it, the address of the page it came from. This is used only to create the note.
- Front app name: when you make a note from the clipboard, the app may record the name of the app you copied from (for example "from Safari") so the note can show where it came from.
What the app does not do
- It does not connect to the internet.
- It has no account or sign-in.
- It has no ads, analytics or tracking.
- It does not share anything with us or with anyone else.
If you click a link on a note, the page opens in your own web browser, which follows its own privacy rules.
Screen sharing
By default, notes are hidden from screen sharing, screen recordings and screenshots. You can change this in Settings.
Deleting your information
Finishing a note moves it to a short "Recently Finished" list on your computer, which you can clear from the menu. Removing the app and its folder removes everything.
Children
The app does not collect information from anyone, including children.
