Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 11, 2026

The short version: Threshyr is a local-first app. Everything it records about how you spend your time is stored only on your own computer. We have no servers and no user accounts, and we never see, collect, upload, or sell your data.

What Threshyr records

Threshyr helps you understand how you spend time on your computer. While it is running, it records the following on your device:

  • The name of the app in your active (foreground) window.
  • The title of that window — for example a document name or a browser tab title.
  • The website domain of your active browser tab (for example, github.com) — only the domain, never the full web address or the contents of the page.
  • Counts of your input activity — the number of mouse movements, clicks, key presses, and scrolls. Threshyr uses these counts only to tell whether you were active or idle. It does not record which keys you press or anything you type.
  • Idle time, the categories and projects you assign to your activity, and your app settings.

Where your data is stored

All of this is saved in a database file on your own computer. Your data never leaves your machine, and you stay in full control of it:

  • View it: open Settings → Data → Open Data Folder inside the app.
  • Delete it: delete that folder, or uninstall Threshyr. Removing the app removes your data with it.

What we don't do

  • No account or sign-up is required.
  • No cloud and no servers — your activity data never leaves your device.
  • We never sell, share, or use your data for advertising.
  • No keystroke logging — we count key presses to measure activity, we never capture their content.
  • No hidden analytics or usage tracking inside the app.

Internet connections Threshyr makes

Threshyr works fully offline. The only time it reaches the internet is to check whether a newer version is available:

  • Depending on how you installed Threshyr, update checks go either to GitHub (for direct downloads) or to the Microsoft Store. These checks send only the standard technical information needed to compare version numbers.

The intelligent engine that categorizes your activity runs entirely on your computer, offline. Your activity is never sent anywhere to be processed.

System permissions

To detect your active window and browser tab, Threshyr asks for certain operating-system permissions — for example Accessibility and Automation on macOS, and active-window access on Windows and Linux. These permissions are used only to read the current window and tab locally, so your time can be logged. They are never used to collect anything beyond what is described above.

Children

Threshyr is a general productivity tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we change how Threshyr handles data, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above.
