00 Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Apps for Agents ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with our macOS applications — including Cadence, Digimanger, and Chromking (each, an "App," and together, the "Apps") — and this website.
Our products are built on a simple principle: your creative work belongs on your machine. The Apps are native macOS software written in Swift using Apple frameworks, and they are designed to operate on-device. We have deliberately built our products so that we collect as little information as possible — in most cases, none at all.
01 Information we do not collect
We want to be explicit, because it's the most important part of this policy. In the normal course of using the Apps, we do not collect, receive, transmit, or store:
- Your audio recordings, podcast projects, or transcripts
- Your video footage, photos, or other media assets
- Your greenscreen or camera output
- Your file names, folder structures, project metadata, or library contents
- The contents of any agent (MCP) tool calls or their results
- Account information — because the Apps do not require an account
This processing happens locally on your Mac using frameworks such as Core Audio, Vision, Core ML, and Metal. The data never leaves your device by way of our software, and there is no Apps for Agents server that receives it.
02 On-device processing
Tasks such as transcription, audio and track editing, asset indexing and search, and chromakey processing are performed entirely on your Mac. Your media is read from, and written to, locations you choose on your own device or local network. We do not upload it to the cloud, and we do not use it to train any model.
03 Agent & MCP connections
Each App can act as a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing an AI agent you choose — such as Claude, Hermes, or OpenClaw — to call a defined set of tools to perform work on your behalf.
- These connections run locally between your agent and the App on your machine. We are not a party to them and do not receive the tool calls or their contents.
- If you connect a third-party agent, that agent is governed by its own provider's privacy policy and terms. We encourage you to review them, as the way that agent handles your prompts and any data you provide to it is outside our control.
- You remain in control of which agents may connect and which tools are exposed.
04 Diagnostics & optional data
The Apps do not include hidden analytics or background telemetry. In limited cases, we may handle small amounts of information only with your involvement:
- Crash reports. If you have enabled sharing of diagnostics with developers through macOS, Apple may provide us with anonymized crash and performance reports. This is governed by Apple's privacy policy and your system settings, and you can disable it at any time in macOS.
- Support requests. If you email us for support, we will receive the information you choose to send us (such as your email address and the details of your issue) and use it solely to help you.
05 Purchases & the App Store
The Apps are distributed through the Apple Mac App Store. When you purchase or download an App, the transaction is handled by Apple, not by us. We do not receive your payment-card details. Apple may share limited, aggregated sales and analytics information with us in accordance with Apple's policies. Please review Apple's Privacy Policy for details on how Apple processes your information.
06 This website
This marketing website is intended to provide information about the Apps. We aim to keep it lightweight and privacy-respecting. We do not use it to build advertising profiles. If we use basic, privacy-preserving measurement to understand aggregate traffic, it is limited to non-identifying information and is never combined with anything from inside the Apps.
07 How we use what little we have
Where we do receive information — such as a support email or an Apple-provided crash report — we use it only to operate, maintain, and improve the Apps and to respond to you. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it except as needed to provide these services or as required by law.
08 Data retention & security
Because your creative work stays on your device, its security is governed by your Mac's protections — including the macOS app sandbox, FileVault, and the permissions you grant each App. For the limited information we may receive (such as support correspondence), we retain it only as long as needed for the purpose it was provided and apply reasonable safeguards to protect it.
09 Children's privacy
The Apps are intended for general and professional creative use and are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10 Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. Because we hold so little — and because your creative content remains on your own device, where you can manage or delete it directly — most requests can be resolved quickly. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
11 Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected here, and your continued use of the Apps after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
