Privacy

Sway processes desktop frames on your Mac to render the effect. The app does not record, store, or upload screen content.

Screen Recording permission

macOS uses this permission to allow live screen capture. Sway uses these frames only while preparing or displaying the effect, and clears them when capture stops. It does not capture audio or microphone input.

Preferences and sensor data

Appearance preferences are saved locally on your Mac. Hinge angles are read on your device and are not transmitted.
