Switch Privacy Policy

Last updated May 10, 2026

Switch is a macOS window switcher that runs locally on your Mac. It makes no network requests and sends no data, analytics, or telemetry anywhere.

What stays on your device

Window lists are read live from macOS each time you invoke the switcher and are not stored to disk. Window thumbnails captured via ScreenCaptureKit are held in memory only. Your hotkey configuration and "launch at login" preference are stored in standard user defaults under com.sanyamgarg.switch.

Permissions

Switch needs Accessibility (to intercept ⌘‑Tab) and Screen Recording (for thumbnails). Both are granted only with your explicit consent in System Settings and are used locally.

Removing your data

Drag Switch.app to the Trash, remove the Accessibility and Screen Recording grants in System Settings → Privacy & Security, and run defaults delete com.sanyamgarg.switch in Terminal to clear preferences.
