Privacy
Backpockets: Read It Later App is built so your reading history never needs to leave your Mac. No account. No cloud library. No analytics SDK.
What stays on your device
Saves, page text, embeddings, search queries, and settings live in a SQLite database under your user Library folder on macOS. Time Machine backs it up like any other local file.
What we do not collect
We do not run an account system. We do not sync your library to a Backpockets: Read It Later App server. We do not sell data. Optional third-party AI providers (for example OpenRouter) are only used if you paste your own API key for extraction features; that traffic goes to the provider you chose, not to a Backpockets: Read It Later App cloud library.
Purchases
Paid licenses are handled by Gumroad. Gumroad processes payment details under their own privacy policy. Backpockets: Read It Later App only needs a license key to unlock the paid tier.
