OneBox Privacy Policy

OneBox is a keyboard-first launcher and toolbox for the Mac. We designed OneBox to work without an account and to keep your data on your device.

Data We Collect

OneBox minimizes data collection. Everything you create or configure stays on your Mac.

On-Device Data: Your settings, custom hotkey, web-search keywords, snippets, custom commands, and clipboard history are stored locally on your Mac. This data is not transmitted to us.
Screenshots: Screenshots you capture, annotate, or pin are handled on your device and saved where you choose. They are not uploaded to our servers.
Clipboard History: When enabled, OneBox keeps a local history of items you copy so you can paste them again later. This history never leaves your Mac.
Diagnostics (optional): If you choose to contact support, you may share diagnostic details in your email. We only use this to respond to your request.

Data We Do Not Collect

We do not create user accounts.
We do not collect names, emails (unless you contact support), or phone numbers.
We do not track your activity across other companies' apps or websites.
We do not use any third-party service for advertising or ad targeting.

Permissions

Accessibility: Used for the global hotkey that summons OneBox and for pasting a chosen result back into the app you were using. OneBox does not record or log your keystrokes.
Screen Recording: Used only when you invoke the screenshot tools, so OneBox can capture the region of the screen you select.
Automation (Apple Events): Used only to perform actions you trigger, such as opening an app or running a system command.
Network: Used only to open web searches and links you initiate in your default browser. OneBox does not send your local data over the network.
Files: Used only to open, save, or run the files, folders, and scripts you explicitly select.

Network Use

OneBox connects to the internet only to carry out actions you start — for example opening a web search or a bookmark in your browser. It does not upload your queries, clipboard, snippets, or screenshots to us or to any third party.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data and we do not share your content with anyone. OneBox does not include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

Data Retention & Deletion

Your settings, snippets, clipboard history, and other content remain on your device until you delete them in the app or uninstall OneBox. Removing the app deletes its local data.

Children's Privacy

OneBox is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
