Privacy & Security

Promptr is local-first. During normal use, your context and content stay on your Mac. This page explains exactly how, and the few things that do touch the network.

Local-first by default

The Chrome extension sends your page context to the Promptr app running locally on your Mac (localhost:8765) — not to any remote server. Your content lives in files on your machine, or in a shared folder you control (iCloud, Drive, or Dropbox). Nothing about your demos is sent to us.

Per-site permissions

On install, the extension can access zero websites. You grant access to each site you present on, one at a time. Promptr never sees pages you haven’t explicitly allowed.

Screen-share exclusion

The teleprompter is excluded from screen capture and recording by default, so your notes don’t leak into a shared screen. You can opt in with Show in Screen Share when you actually want it recorded.

What does touch the network

  • License validation — Promptr contacts the license server to check your license, which involves a per-machine identifier. This is disclosed in the privacy policy.
  • Update checks — Promptr checks GitHub Releases for a newer version (manual, or a daily check you opt into). It never downloads or runs anything automatically; the “update available” action just opens the release page.
  • Cloud sync of shared folders — handled by your provider (iCloud/Drive/Dropbox), not by Promptr.
