SpreadJoy is designed with privacy-first principles. We have zero access to your data.
All data stays on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Contacts, messages, and photos never leave your device.
We don't track what you type or who you message.
AI keys are stored locally in macOS Keychain, encrypted by Apple.
Messages are sent directly through Apple's Messages app on your Mac using native macOS automation. SpreadJoy never sees the actual message contentβit just tells Messages what to send.
If you use AI features, your API keys are stored in the macOS Keychainβthe same encrypted vault that stores your passwords. We never transmit or store your keys on our servers.
When using AI generation, your prompts go directly from your Mac to your chosen AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google). We're not a middlemanβyour API key means your data goes straight to the source, encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.
Only anonymous, non-personal data for app functionality:
We never collect: contacts, messages, photos, API keys, or any content you create.
API keys are stored in macOS Keychain using AES-256-GCM encryption, protected by your Mac's Secure Enclave.
All API calls to AI providers use TLS 1.3 encryption. Certificate pinning prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.
SpreadJoy runs in Apple's App Sandbox, limiting access to only the permissions you explicitly grant.
The app is code-signed with an Apple Developer certificate and notarized by Apple, ensuring it hasn't been tampered with.
We don't operate servers that store your data. There's no database to breach because your data never leaves your Mac.
App preferences stored in ~/Library/Preferences using macOS property lists. No sync, no cloud.
