Privacy Policy

Last updated October 31, 2026

Poof is made by Jason Muse. It is built to work entirely on your own devices. This page explains what Poof looks at, what it keeps, and the few things that ever leave your device.

The short version

• Poof never uploads your screenshots, photos or AI chat history.
• There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking in Poof.
• The only things sent anywhere are what's needed to sell Poof Pro and check that you have it, and, if you turn on Phone link, end-to-end encrypted fingerprints that only your own phone can read.

Poof for Windows and Mac

What it reads on your computer

• Image files in your screenshot folders: the system's screenshots folder and any folder you add.
• The history that AI coding tools keep on your computer (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf), to recognise screenshots you pasted into them.

What it keeps on your computer

Small thumbnails of your screenshots, 32×32 grayscale fingerprints used for matching, your settings, your kept list and your license details. They're stored in Poof's own folder (%APPDATA%\Poof on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Poof on Mac), which you can delete at any time.

What leaves your computer

When you activate Poof Pro, Poof sends your license key and your computer's name to Lemon Squeezy, our payment provider, so you can see which computers use your key. It re-checks the key every few days. Nothing else is sent.

When you buy Poof Pro, checkout happens on Lemon Squeezy's website. They process your payment and send us your name, email address and order details so we can provide your license and support. Their own privacy policy covers the payment.

Phone link (optional)

Phone link lets Poof on your phone clear the screenshots you sent to AI tools on your computer. It is off until you turn it on and scan the pairing code with your phone. While it's on:

• Poof on your computer sends a list of the images in your AI tools' history from the last 45 days: for each one, a 32×32 grayscale fingerprint, which AI tool it went to, and when, plus your computer's name. Never the images, your screenshots or your chats.
• The list is encrypted on your computer (AES-256-GCM) with a key that exists only on your computer and the phones you paired, inside the pairing code. Our relay server, run on Cloudflare at link.muselabs.app, only ever stores and passes on data it cannot decrypt, and deletes it 30 days after its last update or as soon as you unlink.
• Your phone only downloads that list. Nothing from your phone is uploaded.
• Like any website, Cloudflare sees the IP addresses of the devices that connect to the relay.

Poof for iPhone and Android

• Photos: Poof reads your photo library on your phone to find screenshots and show them to you. Your photos never leave your phone. Deleting always goes through your phone's own confirmation; on iPhone, deleted screenshots stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days.
• Kept on your phone: your kept list, your settings, how many screenshots you've poofed and, with Phone link, fingerprints of recent screenshots for matching.
• Auto-detect (optional): if you set up the Shortcuts automation, Poof's action runs on your phone when you close the AI apps you picked, and looks at the screenshots you took in the previous half hour. It keeps a list of the ones it has offered to clear, on your phone. Nothing is sent anywhere.
• Notifications: Poof's notifications are created on your phone. No push service is involved.
• Purchases: Apple or Google handle payment. Poof uses RevenueCat to check whether you have Pro. RevenueCat receives an anonymous ID created on your phone, your Poof purchase history, and basic technical details such as app version, system version and country. Poof never sends them your name, email or photos.

Children

Poof is not directed at children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

You can turn off Poof's photo access in your phone's settings, delete Poof's data on your computer, or deactivate your license in Settings → Poof Pro. To have your purchase details deleted, email us.

Changes

If this policy changes, this page and the date above will be updated.
