Last updated: November 8, 2026 (adds the off switch for the daily count)
Swipeside is a Mac menu bar app, published by Hello Good Day LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), based in Florida, United States. It turns the edges of your screen into controls for volume, brightness and warmth.
Swipeside does not require an account, and we do not sell your data. Your settings stay on your Mac. The app sends us only an anonymous once-a-day "app opened" count, a purchase report if you start the free trial or buy Swipeside Pro, and any feedback you choose to send from Settings.
Swipeside saves your settings locally, in the app's private sandbox container on your Mac. These include what each edge controls, edge width, sensitivity, and your brightness and warmth levels. They are never uploaded.
To work, Swipeside places thin, invisible windows along the edges of your screen. These windows receive only the scrolls and clicks you make while the pointer rests on them. Swipeside:
Volume changes go through macOS's own audio system on your Mac. "Open at login" uses macOS's own login items setting, which you can turn off at any time in Swipeside Settings or in System Settings → General → Login Items.
Swipeside reports to our own dashboard (called Proceeds, hosted for us by Supabase) through our first-party analytics component, PulseKit. Once a day, when the app is opened, it sends a ping containing:
The install identifier is not your Apple ID, it is not an advertising identifier, and it is not linked to your name or identity. It is not used to track you across other apps or companies. We use it only to count how many people use Swipeside.
You can turn this off at any time in Swipeside Settings → General → "Share an anonymous daily usage count". When it's off, no daily ping is sent.
Swipeside Pro and its free 5-day trial are in-app purchases processed by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your payment card details or your Apple ID. When you start the trial or buy Pro, the Apple-signed transaction details (product identifier, transaction identifier and date) are relayed to our dashboard so the purchase is recorded. This report is tied only to the random install identifier above.
After buying Pro, you can turn on "Help review refund requests" in Settings. It's off unless you turn it on. If it's on and someone asks Apple for a refund of that purchase, we may share basic purchase and usage information with Apple (for example, that the app was delivered and used) to help Apple review the request. If it's off, nothing is shared.
If you send feedback from Settings, we receive your message and the category you pick, plus the app version and build, your Mac's model identifier (for example "MacBookPro18,2"), macOS version, and language/region setting, so we can understand and fix the issue. It's stored in our feedback database, hosted for us by Supabase. We don't ask for your name or email; include contact details in your message only if you want a reply. We use feedback only to support you and improve the app.
In App Store terms, this maps to Product Interaction and a Device ID (the random install identifier) for the daily count, Purchase History for the trial and Pro purchase report, and Customer Support plus Other Diagnostic Data (Mac model, macOS version, language) for feedback. All are declared as not linked to your identity and not used for tracking.
Swipeside does not:
We use the daily count only to understand how many people use Swipeside, purchase reports only to record sales and honor your purchase, and feedback only to answer you and improve the app.
We do not sell or rent your information. Supabase hosts our analytics and feedback databases on our behalf; it processes this data only to provide that service to us and is required to protect it with the same or equal protection described in this policy. Apple processes your download and any App Store activity under Apple's privacy policy. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
Your settings stay on your Mac until you delete the app. To remove them completely, quit Swipeside, delete it from your Applications folder, and empty the Trash.
Daily usage counts are kept in aggregate for as long as we need them to understand usage. Because they are tied only to a random identifier, we can't link them to you.
To ask us to delete feedback you sent, contact us with roughly when you sent it and what it said.
Swipeside is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children; the app has no accounts.
We send data over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and our databases allow the app to add feedback but not read it back. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.
Hello Good Day LLC is based in the United States. If you use Swipeside outside the U.S., the daily count and any feedback may be processed in the U.S. and wherever Supabase processes data.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Because we don't keep accounts or identity data, the main way to manage your data is within the app and on your Mac. For privacy questions, contact us at hellogoodday.com/contact.
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy at the same address and update the "Last updated" date.
