Settle collects nothing.
No account. No cloud. No analytics.
What Settle actually does with your data
It stores your window layouts as plain JSON on your Mac. That's it. Nothing leaves the device. Ever.
- Layouts and workspaces →
~/Library/Application Support/Settle/ - Settings and keyboard shortcuts → macOS user defaults
- Trial start date and purchase state → macOS keychain
Delete the app, delete the files. You own everything.
Why Settle asks for Accessibility permission
macOS requires Accessibility permission to move and resize windows. Settle uses it for exactly that. Nothing more.
Settle does not read keystrokes, screen contents, clipboard data, what's typed, what's visible, or anything else. It only reads and sets window positions.
About the AppleScript permission
When you save a layout, Settle asks Finder which folder is open so it can restore that path later. This is an optional permission. Decline and Settle still works — it just won't remember Finder paths.
About the in-app purchase
Settle Pro ($9.99, one-time) is processed by Apple. Payment details, billing, and receipt verification happen through the App Store — Settle never sees them. We just get a "yes, this person owns Pro" signal on launch.
About email and support
If you write to hello@gokhangokova.com, we'll reply. We keep the conversation to help you. We don't use it for anything else. We don't have a mailing list.
Children
Settle is a productivity tool for adults. It doesn't target children. It doesn't collect information from anyone, regardless of age.
Changes to this policy
If Settle ever changes what it collects — which right now is nothing — we'll update this page and mention it inside the app. Because it's a meaningful change, it'll be hard to miss.
