PulseGrid for macOS

Summary

PulseGrid does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. Your system metrics never leave your device.

Data Collection

PulseGrid collects zero personal information. The app:

• Does not require an account or sign-in
• Does not use analytics or tracking frameworks
• Does not contain advertising
• Does not communicate with external servers (except a single connectivity check to captive.apple.com for latency measurement)
• Does not access your contacts, photos, calendar, or documents

System Data

PulseGrid reads hardware metrics (CPU usage, memory pressure, disk space, battery status, network throughput, thermal sensors) using standard macOS APIs. This data is displayed to you in real-time and is never stored persistently or transmitted anywhere.

Local Network

PulseGrid uses Bonjour (mDNS) to discover devices on your local network. This information is displayed locally and never transmitted off your device.

Bluetooth

PulseGrid can scan for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Device names and signal strength are displayed locally and never stored or transmitted.

Data Storage

PulseGrid stores only your preferences (appearance, refresh rate, selected widgets) using macOS UserDefaults. No performance history or personal data is retained.

Third-Party Services

PulseGrid uses no third-party SDKs, analytics, crash reporting, or advertising services.

Children's Privacy

PulseGrid does not collect information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date below. Since we collect no data, changes are unlikely.
