Plopli Privacy Policy

Plopli is a macOS app for organizing screenshots. Plopli collects no data. Everything the app does with your images happens on your Mac.

What Plopli processes

• Images in a folder you choose yourself. Plopli never opens your Desktop, the system screenshot folder or any other location on its own.
• Text read from images (OCR), content labels and QR or bar codes read by Apple Vision (the decoded content of a code is stored with the analysis results), and image features computed by a bundled Core ML model. All of this runs on the device, with no account and no third-party provider.
• Optionally: classification hints from Apple Intelligence (Foundation Models) if your Mac supports it (macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence). The model runs on the device; Plopli does not use Apple's cloud processing. Plopli downloads nothing by itself; the translation pack for Polish screenshots is installed by you, with your consent, through the system mechanism.

What Plopli stores and where

Inside the library folder you choose, Plopli creates a hidden .screeny/ directory. It holds: a journal of file operations (paths, cryptographic hashes and states, needed for undo), remembered image analysis results (recognized text, labels, image features, code contents), remembered Apple Intelligence hints (with the quoted evidence text and its translation, if any), the approved folder structure, rules for your custom folders, the file naming rule, review decisions and the sieve archive. These files are yours and stay in your library.

App settings (for example comparison mode, window state) live in the app's own preferences on this Mac. Plopli does not remember which folder was open between launches; you pick it again at every start.

Everything Plopli stores is in your library (the .screeny/ directory) and in the app's preferences; you delete it by deleting that directory or the app. Plopli keeps no copies.

What Plopli does not do

• It does not send images, recognized text or analysis results to any server. The app has no networking code, no telemetry, no ads and no external analytics. Its privacy manifest declares no data collected and no tracking.
• It does not delete your images without the Trash. Images rejected in review go to the system Trash only after you confirm. Images rejected by the sieve first rest in an archive inside your library and go to the Trash after at least 30 days. The one exception: undoing an import removes the copy Plopli itself created; the original stays. Plopli never empties the Trash.
• It does not reach outside the chosen folder. The app runs in the App Sandbox: it reads and writes only inside the library you pick in the system panel and in the files you yourself select for import (it copies them; the originals stay). The only place outside the library that Plopli moves files to is the system Trash.

Your boundaries

This promise covers processing by Plopli. If your folder is synced by iCloud, Dropbox or another service, that sync may also include the .screeny/ directory with stored text. If you share an image through the system Share menu, you do so knowingly and outside Plopli. Documentation links and other apps' URL schemes open only on your request.
