Privacy Policy
- Pingr archives your notifications entirely on your Mac, into a single SQLite file. Nothing about them — the app, title, body, or timing — ever leaves your computer.
- No usage analytics, no accounts. The archive never touches the network, and no notification is ever sent to a server. See section 2 for exactly what is stored and for how long.
- Pingr makes a weekly check for a new version, which we count — see section 3. You can turn it off. Only if you enter a business license key, it also re-checks that key with us about once a day; with no key stored, that request never happens. If you buy a business license, that purchase happens here on the website (payment is handled by Stripe — we never see your card number). Your notifications are never involved.
1. Who We Are
Pingr is made by twoplus11 LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (twoplus11.com). When this policy says "we," "us," or "our," it means twoplus11 LLC.

2. Data We Do Not Collect
Pingr is built to be completely private:
- Your notifications are yours. Everything Pingr captures is written to its own database on your Mac. No notification, and nothing about one, is ever uploaded to us or to anyone else. There is no sync and no server.
- Apple's notification store is never modified. Pingr opens it
SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY, per poll, and never holds it open. Full Disk Access is required only because it is the sole permission macOS offers that reaches that container. - What Pingr stores on your Mac. Its archive — the app, title, subtitle, body and timestamp of each captured notification — plus your settings and the language you picked, in
~/Library/Application Support/Pingr/. Exporting writes the notifications matching your current search to a file at a location you choose, and nothing else. You choose how long it is kept, from one week to forever, and pruning runs hourly. Excluding an app deletes what Pingr already holds from it. You can delete the folder yourself at any time; the only thing you lose is the history. - One-time codes are detected on your Mac. Notification text is never sent anywhere for analysis. A detected code reaches your clipboard when you click it — or, if you switch on “copy a code as it arrives”, at the moment it is captured. That option is off by default, it fires once per code, and the menu says when it has happened, because replacing what you copied without telling you is how an app gets blamed for losing something it never touched.
- No usage analytics. The app does not report usage or track what you do. The requests it makes to us are the update check described in section 3, which you can turn off, and — only if you have entered a business license key — the daily re-check of that key.
- No account, ever. Pingr needs no sign-up and has no login screen. Personal use needs no key at all. Commercial use means pasting a license key into the app's License panel, which activates that key with us — section 3 says exactly what that request carries.
3. Data We Do Collect
Business-license purchases. If you buy a Business License, you enter your company name, work email, and number of devices in our checkout form. We receive your company name and email so we can deliver your license key and keep a record of the purchase. Payment is processed by Stripe — your card details go straight to Stripe, and we never see or store them.
The business license check. Your license key is emailed to you when you buy. Entering it in the app's License panel activates that key with us, and the app re-checks it about once a day while you are online. Each check carries the key, a truncated SHA-256 hash of your Mac's hardware serial number, the app's version, and a device name — by default your Mac's own name — so that a business can tell its seats apart. It carries nothing about your files or what you did in the app. With no key entered, none of this ever happens. If our server cannot be reached, the app keeps working on the cached result for 72 hours.
Update checks. Pingr checks whether a newer version exists — automatically about once a week, and whenever you check manually. You can switch the automatic check off. The request goes to api.twoplus11.com and identifies the app and the version you are running; like any web request, it also carries your IP address. It says nothing about your Mac, your disks, or your files.
What we record when it checks. We log each check, so that we can tell roughly how many people still use the app: which app it was, the version reported, the date, the user-agent string, and a salted hash of your IP address — never the address itself, and the salt changes every day. Nothing in that record is tied to your name, an account, or a license. If you go on to install the update, that download is counted the same way. With no license key entered, this is the only thing the app ever sends us.
4. If You Contact Us
If you email us — for support or a question about your business license — we receive your email address and whatever you choose to put in your message. We use that information only to reply to you. We do not sell or share it.
5. Downloading the App
Pingr is downloaded from our website, which is hosted by a third-party web host. Like any website, the host may keep standard server access logs (such as IP address) for security and operational purposes. This happens at the web-server level when you visit the download page — the Pingr application itself does not transmit anything.
6. Children's Privacy
Pingr is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
7. Your Rights
If you are in the European Union, United Kingdom, or California, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. The only personal data we hold is what you send us by email and, for business-license holders, the company name and email tied to your purchase. You can exercise these rights by contacting jeremy@twoplus11.com. We will respond within 30 days. Your business-license record is what evidences the license, so deleting it also ends the license.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page when we do. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
