Kinara is built to know as little about you as possible. This page explains what the app and this website handle.

On your Mac

Kinara reads your trackpad to recognise gestures. Touches are processed on your Mac and never leave it.

Clipboard history, text and pictures alike, is kept in memory only, is never written to disk, and skips anything a password manager marks as private.

The mixer routes an app’s sound only to play it back at the level you chose. Audio is never recorded, saved or sent.

Network

Kinara checks GitHub for signed updates once a day. That request includes your app version and, like any request, your IP address, and GitHub’s own privacy statement covers it. You can turn update checks off in Settings.

Kinara has no account, no sign-in and no license check, so nothing else is sent.

Open source

You don’t have to take this page on trust: Kinara’s source code is public, so anyone can check what it does.

This website

This site uses no analytics, no advertising and no cookies. Your theme choice is saved in your own browser. Our host keeps standard server logs.
