Privacy Policy

QuikGIF respects your privacy. Here is exactly what data the app handles.

Effective date: April 5, 2026

No Data Collection

QuikGIF does not collect or transmit personal data. The app runs entirely on your Mac with no tracking. With your explicit opt-in, anonymous crash reports and usage statistics may be saved locally to help improve the app. These are never transmitted over the network.

Screen Recording

QuikGIF uses the macOS Screen Recording permission (via ScreenCaptureKit) to capture the screen region you select. Captured frames are encoded into a GIF file locally on your Mac. No screen content is ever sent to any server or third party.

Accessibility Permission

QuikGIF uses the macOS Accessibility permission to register global keyboard shortcuts. This permission is used solely for hotkey detection and is not used to read or monitor any user input or application content.

Local Storage

QuikGIF stores a small number of user preferences (such as your icon color choice and onboarding completion status) using macOS UserDefaults. These preferences are stored locally on your Mac and are not synced or transmitted anywhere.

Crash Reporting

QuikGIF includes an optional crash reporting feature that is disabled by default. When enabled in Settings, anonymous crash data (stack traces, app version, and macOS version) is saved to a local log file on your Mac. No screen content, file names, personal information, or user input is ever included. Crash reports are never transmitted over the network.

Usage Statistics

QuikGIF includes an optional usage statistics feature that is disabled by default. When enabled in Settings, anonymized usage data (such as recording mode used, output format, and file size) is saved to a local log file on your Mac. No personal data, screen content, file names, or user input is ever included. Usage statistics are never transmitted over the network.

No Third-Party Services

QuikGIF does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or cloud services.

Children's Privacy

QuikGIF does not collect any data from anyone, including children. The app is safe for users of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL. Since QuikGIF collects no data, meaningful changes are unlikely.
