Outshot is a Mac utility made by Eitan Nisimov. This page describes what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. Short version: screenshots never leave your Mac. We collect your email when you join the waitlist and basic analytics to understand how people use the landing page.
Email address — when you join the waitlist. Used to notify you before launch and to send occasional product updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Use-case preference — optional. If you tap a destination chip after signing up, we store which destination matters most to you. Used to prioritize which routes we ship first.
Analytics events — Outshot uses PostHog to track funnel events: page views, waitlist submissions, and which pricing tier you click. Autocapture is disabled. We never capture screenshot content, keystrokes, or destination content.
IP address — used for rate-limiting requests to the waitlist API. Not stored in our database beyond server logs.
OCR runs on-device via Apple Vision — your screen content is processed locally and never leaves your Mac. Only the OCR-extracted text is sent to the LLM for parsing. The one case where a screenshot image is uploaded is when a destination requires an attachment (e.g. attaching a file in Notion) — this only happens after your explicit confirmation.
OAuth tokens for destinations (Calendar, Linear, Notion, etc.) are stored in macOS Keychain only — never on our servers or in localStorage.

Waitlist emails are kept until you request deletion or 24 months of inactivity. Analytics events are retained per PostHog's default (1 year).
