Last updated: 2026-05-02 · Applies to Liminon macOS App v0.6+
Liminon is a local-first app. We don't sell data — and our architecture makes selling data physically impossible.
Three core promises
- Your content data lives 100% on your computer, never uploaded to our servers
- Every outbound network request (LLM calls only, by providers you authorize) is logged and auditable in real time (Settings → Network log)
- API keys are stored in macOS Keychain, isolated per-app — we cannot read them
1. What we store
- All nodes / entries / candidates / captures / network logs:
~/Library/Application Support/Liminon/liminon.sqlite
- Raw screenshot files (when you enable screenshot capture):
~/Library/Application Support/Liminon/captures/
- API keys (OpenAI / Anthropic): macOS Keychain, service =
ai.liminon.app
- Preferences (capture toggles, exclusion list, provider): UserDefaults
Settings → General → "Open data folder" shows you everything.
2. What we don't collect
- No usage telemetry / crash reporting
- No user data ever sent to our servers
- No account system, no signup required
- No third-party analytics (Google Analytics / Mixpanel / etc)
3. The only outbound requests
When you enable LLM extraction or use Ask / Self-portrait / Bulk import, Liminon sends content to your chosen LLM provider (OpenAI / Anthropic / your local Ollama). These requests:
- Use your own API key, hit the provider's official endpoint directly — never via our servers
- Each one writes a NetworkLog row (full request + response), auditable in Settings → Network log
- Are subject to your relationship with that provider's privacy policy
4. Auto-update
Liminon uses Sparkle 2 to check for updates by fetching https://liminon.ai/appcast.xml. This exposes only your IP and User-Agent — Apple-standard mechanism. Disable in Settings.
5. Export / delete
- Export: Settings → Data → Export JSON backup
- Delete one entry: right-click → Delete
- Delete everything: remove
~/Library/Application Support/Liminon/ — next launch reseeds 7 default nodes
