Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 30, 2026

TL;DR

Skibidirot does not track you, does not collect analytics, and does not sell your data. All sound playback is handled entirely on your device. The app makes just two kinds of network request — validating your license key, and asking whether a newer version exists — and neither sends anything that identifies you. We do not have access to your microphone, camera, contacts, or any other sensitive hardware.

1. Data We Do Not Collect

Skibidirot does not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

  • Personal information (name, email, address)
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Crash reports
  • Location data
  • Browsing or app usage history

There are no analytics SDKs, no tracking pixels, and no third-party data collection of any kind embedded in Skibidirot.

2. On-Device Processing

All sound playback is processed entirely on your Mac via afplay. No audio data ever leaves your device.

3. Local Storage

Skibidirot stores your preferences locally in macOS UserDefaults — selected sound, loop and random mode settings, license key, whether keep-awake is switched on, and any app version you chose to skip. This data stays on your machine and is never uploaded or synced anywhere.

4. Network Requests

Skibidirot makes exactly two types of network request:

  • License validation — When you activate your license key, the app sends your key to skibidirot.com/api/license/validate. No other personal information is sent.
  • Update check — When you open the menu bar popover, the app performs a GET on skibidirot.com/api/version to see whether a newer release exists. This request sends no data — not your license key, not a device identifier, not even your current version number. It only reads. As with any HTTP request our server sees your IP address, and we do not log or retain it. If the check fails, the app carries on silently.

That's it. No other network requests are made, and neither is used to profile you or count installs.

5. System Settings (Keep Mac Awake)

When you switch on “Keep Mac awake”, Skibidirot changes how your Mac sleeps so that Claude Code sessions survive an idle timer or a closed lid. It holds a standard macOS power assertion, and runs pmset -a disablesleep to switch off lid-close sleep.

That second command needs administrator rights, which is why macOS shows a password prompt. Your password is handled entirely by macOS's own authorization dialog — Skibidirot never sees it, never stores it, and never transmits it. The only thing the app does with those rights is run that one pmset command.

Because it is a system-level setting rather than something the app holds open, it stays in effect until you switch the toggle off — even if you quit Skibidirot. Switching it off restores your Mac's normal sleep behaviour.

6. Hardware Access

Skibidirot accesses the following on your Mac:

  • Audio output — To play sound clips via afplay. No microphone access.

Skibidirot does not access your microphone, camera, location, contacts, photos library, calendar, or Bluetooth.

7. Third-Party Services

8. Children's Privacy

Skibidirot does not knowingly collect any information from children. Since the app collects no personal data at all, this is not applicable.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of Skibidirot after changes constitutes acceptance.
