Privacy Policy

The short version

1. Who we are

twoplus11 is an independent software studio operated by a sole developer. We build macOS apps — Grabbr, GifMint, Morphr, Stapl, Liftr, Squishr, Trimr, Scrubbr, Heftr, Redlinr, Wakr, Pulsr, Renamr, Loopr, Diskr, and Blockr — and bespoke web applications.

If you have any privacy concerns or questions, reach us through our contact form.

2. Your files stay on your Mac

These apps run entirely on your local machine. Whatever you open, record, convert, compare or scan stays on your computer. None of them:

• Send any usage data, analytics, or telemetry to us
• Store any personal information
• Use third-party SDKs, crash reporters, or ad frameworks
• Require an account, a sign-in, or any identifier tied to you

Grabbr makes direct network requests to video-sharing platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, etc.) at your instruction, in order to download the content you ask for. These requests originate from your IP address and are your own activity — we have no visibility into them whatsoever. Grabbr also bundles the open-source yt-dlp tool and can update it when you press its update button; that download comes from the yt-dlp project's own distribution, not from us.

GifMint never makes any network requests — not even an update check. Screen recordings stay exclusively on your device and are never transmitted anywhere.

Morphr converts your files entirely on your Mac, using your computer's own processing. Your files never leave your device.

Stapl performs every PDF operation — merging, splitting, compression, OCR, redaction, and the rest — locally on your Mac. Nothing you open in Stapl is ever uploaded.

Liftr removes and replaces image backgrounds entirely on your Mac, using Apple's on-device Vision model and a bundled CoreML model. Nothing you open or export is ever uploaded.

Squishr compresses video entirely on your Mac, using a bundled encoder and your computer's own hardware. Your videos never leave your device.

Trimr trims and edits audio entirely on your Mac. Your files never leave your device.

Scrubbr reveals and strips hidden metadata (location, author, camera details, tracked changes) from photos, PDFs, and Office documents entirely on your Mac. It writes a clean copy alongside the original and never uploads anything.

Heftr analyzes what's taking up space in a file or folder and offers a smaller copy where one is available, entirely on your Mac. Your files never leave your device.

Redlinr compares two documents and produces a redline entirely on your Mac. Contracts, leases, and offers are never uploaded to a web diff tool — the comparison runs locally and your documents never leave your device.

Wakr keeps your Mac awake using the operating system's own power-management assertions. It reads and writes nothing beyond that, and has no access to your files.

Pulsr reads CPU, memory, network, disk and battery counters from the operating system's own APIs to draw its menu bar glyphs and popover. Those readings stay on your Mac — none of them are recorded to disk or transmitted anywhere, and Pulsr has no access to the contents of your files.

Renamr renames the files you drop into it, on your Mac. It reads file names — and, when you use the EXIF date token, a photo's embedded capture date — only to compute and preview the new names. Rule presets and undo logs are stored locally in ~/Library/Application Support/Renamr; nothing is uploaded, and Renamr never reads the contents of your files.

Loopr turns the still images you drop into it into a looping GIF, entirely on your Mac. It reads only those image files; your images are never uploaded, and its settings are stored locally in ~/Library/Application Support/Loopr.

Diskr maps what is taking up space on your disk, entirely on your Mac. A scan reads only filesystem metadata — item names, and how many bytes each one actually occupies on the volume — and never opens or reads the contents of your files; it moves something to the Trash only when you explicitly ask it to. Because Diskr is not sandboxed, macOS asks your permission the first time a scan reaches a protected folder such as Desktop, Documents, or Downloads, and granting Full Disk Access in System Settings lets it size those locations without prompting — that permission is between you and your own Mac, and tells us nothing. Nothing about your files — names, paths, or sizes — is ever uploaded, and Diskr keeps no scan history or database between launches.

Blockr monitors and filters network connections, entirely on your Mac. It sees which application opened a connection and the remote host and port it was going to — it never inspects, decrypts, or proxies the contents of your traffic. Blockr keeps that record, your rules and your per-app totals on your own machine so they survive a relaunch; none of it is transmitted to us or to anyone else, and you can clear it at any time from Settings. Blockr installs a network filter system extension, which macOS asks you to approve once. Optionally it performs reverse-DNS lookups so that raw IP addresses read as hostnames; those queries go to whichever DNS resolver your Mac already uses, only for addresses you are already connecting to, and the feature can be switched off in Settings. Blockr sends us nothing at all, including no update check.

3. Checking for updates

Most of our apps check whether a newer version has been released. Apart from a licence check, this is the only thing they send us — so here is exactly what it is.

What it does. The app asks our website for a small file listing the current version. If that version is newer than the one you have, the app tells you. Nothing is ever downloaded or installed without your approval.

What it sends. The app's version number, and — as with any request to any website — your IP address and a short label naming the app. That is the whole of it. It does not send your name, your email address, an account or device identifier, your license key, a list of your files, or anything at all about how you use the app. There is no analytics payload and no unique installation ID, so the request cannot be tied back to you or joined up across checks.

How often. Where the check runs on its own, it runs at most once a week, quietly in the background. Some apps only check when you ask them to.

Which apps. Automatic weekly checks apply to Grabbr, Heftr, Liftr, Loopr, Morphr, Pulsr, Redlinr, Renamr, Scrubbr, Squishr, Trimr, Wakr and Diskr. Stapl checks only when you ask it to. GifMint and Blockr make no update request of any kind.

Turning it off. Automatic checking can be switched off in each app's settings. Doing so limits no feature — you can still check by hand whenever you like, and the app goes on working indefinitely either way.

Where the request lands. Because the check is an ordinary web request, it appears in our web host's standard server-access logs alongside ordinary visits to the website — see section 5. We do not analyse those logs to track app usage, and we do not build any profile from them.

Licence keys. Separately from updates, if you enter a commercial license key the app sends that key to our server once so it can be verified. Nothing travels with it — no file list, no usage data, no device fingerprint.

4. Commercial license purchases

If you purchase a commercial license for any of our apps, we collect:

• Your email address — used to deliver your license key and for license verification if you need to reinstall

Payment details are processed by a third-party payment provider. We do not see, receive, or store your card number or banking information.

We will never use your email address for marketing communications without your explicit opt-in. We will never sell, rent, or share it with any third party.

5. This website (twoplus11.com)

This website uses no analytics tools, no tracking cookies, and no third-party scripts of any kind. There is nothing to consent to, which is why you won't find a cookie banner.

Hostinger (our web hosting provider) may retain standard server-access logs (IP addresses, requested URLs, timestamps) as part of normal hosting operations. This includes the update checks described in section 3. These logs are outside our direct control and are not shared with us on a routine basis. Hostinger's own privacy policy governs their data handling.

6. Subdomains and other services

Subdomains such as claytonia.twoplus11.com and catclinic.twoplus11.com are separate applications with their own data handling. Their respective privacy terms apply when you use those services.

7. Data retention

The only personal data we hold is email addresses associated with commercial license purchases. We retain these for as long as necessary to provide license support. If you'd like your data deleted, contact us and we'll remove it promptly.

8. Your rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data

To exercise any of these rights, reach us through our contact form. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.

9. Children's privacy

Our apps and services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

10. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page. We won't quietly expand data collection — if anything changes, it will be stated clearly here.
