We don’t collect anything.
Incise is a native macOS text editor that runs entirely on your Mac. It does not collect, transmit, store, or sell any personal data. There are no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry, and no advertising or tracking of any kind.
Your files stay yours. The documents and folders you open or edit are read from and written to your own disk. Their contents are never sent to us or to any third party.
The details
No data collection
Incise gathers no personal information, usage data, diagnostics, or identifiers. It does not transmit your data over the network.
Local file access only
The app accesses only the files and folders you explicitly open, and only to display and edit them on your device. That access is never used to transmit your content.
Optional AI integration
If you choose to use Incise’s Claude Code integration, it communicates locally on your Mac with the Claude Code tool you run yourself. Incise does not send your code to Anthropic or anyone else; any data handling is governed by the tool you run and its own terms.
No third parties
Incise includes no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. There are no external services receiving your information.
