Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Short version: Human Token stores all data locally on your Mac. Nothing is ever sent to external servers. No tracking, no analytics, no accounts.

What the app collects

Human Token tracks which apps are in the foreground on your Mac and accumulates a weighted token count based on your activity. This data is stored exclusively in macOS UserDefaults, which lives on your device only:

Daily activity sessions (app name, token type, timestamps, raw token count)
Break recovery amounts per day
Your preferences and settings (idle timeout, daily baseline, menu bar display style)
Pro license key, if activated

What the app does NOT collect

File contents — SpotlightMonitor detects that a file was saved, not what is inside it
Browser history — BrowserAITracker reads only the current tab URL to detect AI tools
Keystrokes or screen content
Any personally identifiable information
Crash reports or diagnostics

Network access

Human Token makes two types of outbound network requests:

Update checks: Once per hour, the app checks the GitHub Releases API to see if a new version is available. No identifying information is sent.
Browser tab detection: Performed entirely via local AppleScript — no network request is made.

The app makes no other network requests. Your activity data never leaves your device.

Permissions

Automation (optional): Used to read the current browser tab URL for AI tool detection. Requested once during onboarding. The app functions without it.
No other permissions are required. App tracking uses NSWorkspace, file activity uses mdfind (Spotlight) — both work without user permission.

This website

humantoken.app is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) as part of their infrastructure. No additional analytics or tracking scripts are used on this site. No cookies are set beyond what Cloudflare requires for security.

Purchases

Pro license purchases are handled by Paddle, our payment provider and Merchant of Record. Paddle collects and processes your payment details in accordance with their privacy policy. We receive only a confirmation that a purchase was made — no payment details are shared with us.

Data retention and deletion

All data is stored in UserDefaults on your Mac. To delete it, go to Preferences → System → Reset All Data, or uninstall the app. There is no account to delete and no data stored on our servers.
