Switch Privacy Policy

Last updated November 2, 2026

Switch is a macOS window switcher that runs locally on your Mac. It sends no data, analytics, or telemetry anywhere. Its only network request is a daily check for updates, which downloads the release feed from this site and sends nothing about you or your windows.

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). Screen Recording is optional and only used for window 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.
