Nothing leaves your Mac.
What it reads
- The motion sensor
- The lid angle
- The ambient light
- That a key was pressed, never which
- The name of the app in front
Camera and microphone stay off unless you turn on the camera add-on or sound mode.
What it never stores
- What you type
- Audio or video
- Anything outside one folder
~/Library/Application Support/Ghostkeys holds your settings, your model and your calibration taps. Nothing else.
What it never does
- Talk to the internet
- Ask for an admin password
- Install a kernel extension
- Change System Settings
Sensor settings it adjusts are put back on quit. The app and its helper talk over 127.0.0.1 only.
