The short version
These apps are built to work entirely on your Mac. They do not collect, store, or transmit your personal content, and they have no accounts, logins, analytics, tracking, or advertising.
What the apps access — and where it stays
Each app only touches what it needs to do its job, and that data never leaves your device:
- Sonance EQ, Mixer, Recorder process audio locally through macOS Core Audio; recordings are written only to the folder you choose.
- Sonance Voice processes microphone audio locally in real time.
- Lumen Grab performs text recognition (OCR) on-device using Apple's Vision framework; captured images are not stored or sent anywhere.
- Lumen Pick reads a pixel color you point at.
- Clip stores your clipboard history locally on your Mac; you can exclude sensitive sources such as password managers.
- Menu Vitals reads system statistics and the process list locally.
- SnapZones uses the macOS Accessibility API to move windows; it reads nothing about their contents.
- DevForge transforms text you enter entirely offline.
Purchases
Some apps offer an optional one-time “Pro” purchase. Purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. To validate and remember your purchase across your devices, we use RevenueCat, a purchase-management service that receives an anonymous identifier and basic device information — never your name, email, or the content you use the app with. We do not receive your payment details; Apple handles all payment information. See also Apple's Privacy Policy.
Data we collect
None for the Mac utilities above. We do not operate servers that receive your content, and we do not use analytics or tracking SDKs. Apps that are still in evaluation run their purchase flow locally with no network activity at all. vrdesk is the one connected app in this collection — it offers optional Sign in with Apple and a subscription; exactly what that involves, and what it never touches, is described in vrdesk — Quest headset, iPhone, and Mac below.
Permissions you may be asked for
- Audio capture (Sonance EQ / Mixer / Recorder) and microphone (Sonance Voice) — to process the audio you ask the app to handle.
- Screen Recording (Lumen Grab) — required by macOS to read the pixels you select for OCR.
- Accessibility (SnapZones) — required by macOS to move and resize windows.
These permissions are granted by you in System Settings and can be revoked at any time.
vrdesk — Quest headset, iPhone, and Mac
vrdesk streams your Mac's desktop to a Meta Quest headset so you can work in VR, with an optional iPhone acting as an extra display. It has more moving parts than the single-purpose Mac utilities above, so its data practices are spelled out here in full. The controller of any personal data described in this section is Dupree Ops LLC. You can reach us at isaiahdupree33@gmail.com.
How vrdesk is built — everything stays on your local network
vrdesk connects your Mac and your headset directly, peer-to-peer, over your own Wi-Fi or LAN. The Mac host announces itself on the network with a discovery beacon; the headset finds it and completes a 6-digit pairing; the desktop is then encoded as H.264 video and sent to the headset over WebRTC. There is no cloud server, no relay, and no analytics in this path. Your screen, keystrokes, mouse movements, and audio travel device-to-device on your network and reach only the headset you paired with — they never reach us.
What vrdesk collects — and what it never touches
vrdesk never collects, stores, or transmits to us any of the following: the contents of your screen, the windows or documents you have open, your keystrokes, your mouse input, audio, your files, or your browsing. There are no analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs in vrdesk.
The only personal data vrdesk involves is what's needed to remember a purchase across your own devices:
- Sign in with Apple — a stable, Apple-provided user identifier, used as your account key so a Pro unlock follows you across your own devices.
- Subscription status — whether your Pro subscription is active, provided through RevenueCat. This is status only; we never receive your payment details.
We file vrdesk's App Store privacy label as Data Not Collected because none of the above is linked to you for advertising or tracking and none of your content is gathered — but we describe Sign in with Apple and subscription status here so you have the complete picture regardless of how the label reads.
Sign in with Apple
Signing in is optional and exists for one reason: to give you a stable account identifier so that a Pro purchase made in the iPhone app also unlocks on your Mac. We receive the identifier Apple issues (and, if you choose Apple's private email relay, a relay address rather than your real email). You can revoke this at any time in iOS Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple, which severs the link.
Purchases & subscriptions (RevenueCat)
vrdesk Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription sold in the iPhone app and handled by Apple through the App Store. To validate the subscription and unlock Pro across your devices we use RevenueCat, which receives an identifier and your subscription status only — never your name, payment card, or the content you use vrdesk with. Apple handles all payment information; we never see it. See also Apple's Privacy Policy.
Permissions by device
- Mac — Screen Recording (required by macOS to capture your desktop for streaming) and Accessibility (to inject keyboard and mouse input coming from the headset).
- iPhone — Local Network (to find your Mac and headset on the LAN), screen capture / ReplayKit (only if you use the phone as an extra display), and Sign in with Apple.
- Quest headset — Bluetooth / BLE-HID (so the headset can act as a keyboard and mouse to a paired phone) and local network access (to receive the Mac's video stream).
Every one of these is granted by you and can be revoked at any time in that device's system settings.
Third parties we rely on
vrdesk uses a small number of sub-processors, each for a single narrow purpose:
- Apple — Sign in with Apple, and App Store payment processing.
- RevenueCat — subscription status, so Pro unlocks across your devices.
- Meta / Horizon — an entitlement check to confirm you own the vrdesk headset app on the store.
There are no advertising or analytics providers.
Retention & deletion
We run no servers that hold your usage, so there is nothing about your sessions for us to retain or delete on our side. Any local data — pairing information and preferences — is removed when you delete the app on each device. To sever the account link, revoke Sign in with Apple in iOS Settings; to end billing, cancel the subscription in the App Store.
Security
A stream only starts after you enter your Mac's 6-digit pairing code in the headset, and it flows peer-to-peer on your own network. Your Mac will not stream to a headset that hasn't completed pairing.
Children
These apps, including vrdesk, are not directed to children under 13 and do not knowingly collect any information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
