Privacy Policy
Marklet does not collect, transmit, or store any data about you or your files.
Last updated: March 1, 2026
What Marklet Does Not Collect
- — No usage analytics
- — No crash reports sent anywhere
- — No file names, paths, or content ever leave your Mac
- — No account, login, or registration required
- — No advertising identifiers
- — No location data
What Stays On Your Mac
Marklet stores a small amount of data locally so it can remember your preferences between launches. None of it leaves your device.
- — Your preferences (font size, theme, content width) — stored in macOS UserDefaults, on your Mac only
- — Pinned folders — stored as security-scoped bookmarks in UserDefaults, on your Mac only
- — Favorites and recently viewed files — stored locally, never transmitted
All of this is removed when you uninstall the app.
Network Access
Marklet itself makes no network requests.
If your markdown files contain links to external images or resources, the built-in rendering engine (WebKit — the same engine used by Safari) may fetch them. This is content you authored; Marklet has no visibility into those requests and sends no data of its own in the process.
Third-Party Code
Marklet bundles three open-source libraries. All run entirely on your Mac and make no network requests.
- — cmark-gfm (MIT licence) — parses Markdown into HTML locally
- — highlight.js (BSD licence) — syntax highlighting, bundled locally
- — Mermaid.js (MIT licence) — diagram rendering, bundled locally
None of these libraries collect data.
Children's Privacy
Marklet contains no age-restricted content. Because no data is collected from anyone, no data is collected from children either.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of Marklet after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
