SpaceAudit for macOS · last updated 22 August 2026

Summary
SpaceAudit does not collect any data. It contains no networking code, so there is no mechanism by which it could transmit anything — not deliberately, and not by accident.

What the app accesses

SpaceAudit reads the name, size, location and modification date of files in folders you explicitly grant it through the standard macOS open panel. It reads file metadata only. It does not open, read or interpret the contents of your documents.

For certain locations it reads small property-list files that macOS itself maintains, purely so items can be given meaningful names — for example reading a simulator's device.plist so a folder appears as "iPhone 17 Pro (iOS 26.5)" rather than an unreadable identifier.

What leaves your Mac

Nothing. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, no account system and no network request of any kind.

What is stored, and where

Two things, both on your Mac only:

• Folder grants. When you grant access to a folder, macOS issues a security-scoped bookmark, which the app stores so the grant survives quitting. Revoking a folder in the app deletes its bookmark.
• A record of removals. The app keeps a local list of what it moved to the Trash, so you can find those items again and put them back. It is stored inside the app's own sandbox container and never leaves your Mac.

Deletion

SpaceAudit moves items to the Trash and nothing else. It has no permanent-delete capability. Emptying the Trash is always your action.

Third parties

There are none. SpaceAudit uses no third-party SDKs, frameworks or dependencies.

Children

SpaceAudit is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Since the app collects nothing, any change would be a clarification rather than a change in what is gathered.
