ANCHORNOTES
Privacy policy.
Last updated July 22, 2026
AnchorNotes is built around a simple idea: your notes are yours. The app works without an account and stores your content locally on your Mac.
Information we collect
AnchorNotes does not require an account and does not collect your notes, note titles, app associations, Markdown content, or local AI prompts. The app contains no advertising or cross-app tracking technology.
Where your notes are stored
Notes and their related metadata are stored locally on your Mac. Notes use plain Markdown files, with separate local metadata used to remember details such as the associated app, window position, color, and display mode.
If you choose to back up or sync the AnchorNotes folder with a third-party service, that service’s privacy policy applies to the copies you place there.
On-device intelligence
On supported Macs, the optional rewrite feature uses Apple’s on-device Foundation Models framework. Note content processed by this feature is handled on your device and is not sent to AnchorNotes.
Website data
This website does not use advertising cookies or analytics trackers. Basic technical request data may be processed temporarily by our hosting provider and the Inter font CDN to deliver the site securely and reliably.
Data sharing and sale
We do not sell personal information. Because AnchorNotes does not receive your note content, we cannot share it with advertisers, data brokers, or other third parties.
Children’s privacy
AnchorNotes is a general-purpose productivity app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If the app’s data practices change, we will update this page and revise the date above. Material changes will be explained clearly.
