No network connections. Nothing written to disk.
Winby never connects to the internet. All window switching, search, and OCR works entirely on your device.
Screenshots and OCR results are cached in RAM only. Nothing is ever saved to disk.
Content search uses Apple's Vision framework. All text recognition happens locally—nothing leaves your Mac.
1Password, Bitwarden, and other password managers are shown but never screenshotted. Your secrets stay secret.
No analytics, no tracking, no usage data. The only network request is optional update checks via Sparkle.
The entire codebase is on GitHub. Verify exactly what Winby does—no hidden behavior.
Free and open source. Requires macOS 14.0 or later.
