YeeSwitch for macOS · Last updated 12 August 2026

YeeSwitch collects nothing. It has no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no network connections of any kind. Everything it knows stays on your Mac.

What the app stores

YeeSwitch saves only what it needs to show your switcher, and it saves it locally on your Mac:

The app sets you create — the bundle identifiers of the apps you add, and their order
Your keyboard shortcut and display preferences (for example, larger icons and launch at login)
A cache of app icons, rendered from apps already installed on your Mac
Which apps you used most recently, so the switcher can order your set — this is kept in memory while the app is running and is not transmitted anywhere

This data lives in your user Library folder, under ~/Library/Application Support, and in the app's standard macOS preferences. It never leaves your device.

What the app does not do

No data is sent to the developer or to any third party
No servers are contacted — the app makes no network requests
No analytics, tracking, advertising, or usage statistics
No keystroke logging: the app watches only for its own global shortcut and the keys pressed while its switcher overlay is on screen
No reading of your documents, messages, browsing, or the contents of other apps

System permissions

macOS may ask you to grant YeeSwitch permission to detect its global keyboard shortcut and to bring other apps to the front. These permissions are used solely to run the switcher. No information gathered through them is stored, logged, or transmitted.

Deleting your data

Moving YeeSwitch to the Trash removes the app. To remove its saved sets, preferences, and icon cache as well, delete the YeeSwitch folder inside ~/Library/Application Support.

Children

YeeSwitch does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. If a future release ever collects data, that change will be described here before it ships.
