Privacy

Last updated 10 November 2026

Pier runs on your Mac and keeps what it reads on your Mac. It has no analytics, no tracking and no account.

What stays on your Mac

• Your dock, widgets, profiles, scenes and settings are files on your Mac.
• Keys you add for widgets, such as a Stripe key, go straight from a macOS prompt into your Keychain. They never pass through a web page and are never put in a profile file.
• Calendar, Reminders, notes, clipboard history and files on the file shelf are read on your Mac and never sent anywhere by Pier.
• Window previews use Screen Recording only to draw the pictures you see. Nothing is recorded or saved.

What Pier sends, and where

• Widgets you add talk only to the service they show, directly from your Mac: for example Stripe for the Stripe widget, GitHub for GitHub reviews, Open-Meteo for rain. Each widget is limited to its own service and cannot reach any other address. Widgets only fetch while they are on screen.
• Your license is checked with Polar, our payment provider, when you enter a key and about once a week after that. Pier sends the key and a fixed label, "Pier on a Mac", never your computer's name.
• Updates are checked by downloading a small file from pierdock.app, which tells us only which version of Pier is asking. Updates are signed, and Pier installs only ones signed by us.

Buying Pier

Purchases go through Polar, which handles payment, tax and your receipt as the merchant of record. Polar receives your e-mail address and payment details under its own privacy policy. We see your e-mail address and the order, and use them only to deliver your license and help you with it.

This website

pierdock.app is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard server logs. The site uses no cookies and no tracking.

• Downloads and update checks are counted per day as plain totals, so we know roughly how many people use Pier. The count holds no address, no identifier and nothing else about who.
• The roadmap counts one vote per visitor using a one-way hash made from a secret salt, so votes can't be matched to you. If you add your name to an idea, it is shown with it.
• The support form keeps your e-mail address and message so we can reply, and nothing more. Write to us to have them deleted.

Diagnostics

If you ask for help, Pier can write a short text file about how it is set up, which you can read before sending it. It never contains your license key, file paths or the names of your apps and windows, and it is sent only if you send it yourself.
