Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2026

Skicy is a Mac app for composing App Store, Google Play, Mac App Store, and Microsoft Store screenshots. This policy explains, in plain language, what happens to your data. There is no account to create and no sign-in.

What we collect

Nothing. Skicy has no analytics, no crash reporting, no telemetry, and no third-party SDKs. It does not phone home. There is no account, no sign-in, and no identifier of any kind. What you do in the app is entirely your business.

What we never collect

• Your projects and screenshots. The contents of .skicy files (or the legacy .vitrine format) and the images inside them are never transmitted. We never see your designs.
• File names, folder paths, project names, or any on-canvas text. None of your content or file-system information is ever included in an event.
• Personal information. No name, email, contacts, location entered by you, documents, or device advertising identifiers.

Where your files live

Your Skicy projects (.skicy files, or legacy .vitrine files) and the exported screenshots stay on your Mac, in the locations you choose. They are never uploaded anywhere by the app. A .skicy file embeds full copies of the images you add, so a project is entirely self-contained on your own disk.

When Skicy uses the network

Skicy's editor works fully offline. It contacts the network in these situations:

• Downloading official Apple device frames. If you choose Device ▸ Get Official Apple Frames…, the app downloads bezel image packs directly from Apple's design resources content delivery network. It is a plain file download from Apple to your Mac. No information about you is sent beyond the standard network request needed to fetch a file. The frames are saved locally and used from there.
• Uploading screenshots to App Store Connect. If you add an App Store Connect API key and choose to upload, Skicy sends your exported screenshots and signed API requests to Apple's App Store Connect service. This only ever happens when you start an upload yourself, from the app or from the command line. The API key is stored in the macOS keychain on your Mac and is used solely to talk to Apple on your behalf.
• Publishing screenshots to Google Play. If you add a Google service-account key and choose to publish, Skicy sends your exported images and signed API requests to Google's Play Developer service. This only ever happens when you start a publish yourself, from the app or from the command line. The key is stored in the macOS keychain on your Mac and is used solely to talk to Google on your behalf.
• Adding an image from a URL (command line automation only). Skicy's optional headless command line mode (direct distribution build only) lets you attach an image by passing a URL you provide. When you do, the app fetches that image from the address you specified. Skicy only ever contacts URLs you explicitly hand it.

Beyond the uploads you start yourself, Skicy never transmits your projects, your screenshots, or any identifying information about you or your Mac.

Third parties

Skicy embeds no third-party SDKs and shares nothing with anyone. The only external services it ever contacts are the ones listed above — Apple's CDN for device frames, Apple's App Store Connect, and Google Play — each only when you explicitly ask, using credentials you provide, under those providers' own privacy practices.

Children

Skicy is a professional design tool and is not directed at children. It collects no data from anyone, children included.
