Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 14, 2026
The short version: the Stickytray app has no account, no analytics and no tracking, and we never see your notes. This website counts visits with our own analytics, described below.
Your notes
Notes are stored on your Mac. If you turn on iCloud sync, they are also stored in your own private iCloud database through Apple's CloudKit, under your Apple Account. We can't read that database. Apple's privacy policy applies to iCloud.
What the app sends over the internet
Stickytray connects to the internet for two things only:
- Your license. When you activate, and about once a week after that, the app sends your license key and a random label for this Mac (like “Mac 1A2B3C4D”) to the license service of Dodo Payments, which sold you the license. Deactivating a Mac sends the same.
- Updates. The app downloads the list of versions from stickytray.com to see if there is an update. The request includes the app's version, as every web request does, but no information about your Mac or your notes. You can turn automatic checks off in Settings › Updates.
Both requests reveal your IP address to the server that answers them, as any internet connection does.
Permissions you can grant
- Reminders, only if you sync a checklist. Checklist items go between Stickytray and the Reminders app on your Mac.
- Apple Notes (Automation), only if you send a note to Apple Notes or import one.
- Screen Recording, only to run the Privacy Check. The captures are checked on your Mac and thrown away. Nothing is saved or sent.
Buying Stickytray
Purchases are handled by Dodo Payments, the merchant of record. Dodo processes your payment details; we never see them. We receive your email address and order details so we can send your license key and help you with it. Dodo Payments' privacy policy applies to the checkout.
This website
This site counts visits with Minilytics, an analytics tool we run ourselves at analytics.punyakrit.dev, so we can see how many people visit, which pages they read and where they came from.
- Cookies. It sets two first-party cookies:
ml_vid, a random visitor ID kept for one year, andml_sid, a session ID that expires after 30 minutes without activity. - What it records. The pages you view, the page that linked you here, your screen width, how long a page stays open, and links you follow to other sites. Email addresses, license keys and similar details are removed from page addresses before anything is sent. Like any web request, it reaches the analytics server with your IP address and browser type.
- Purchases. When you click Buy, the visitor and session IDs are added to the Dodo Payments checkout, so we can see which visits led to a purchase.
- Opting out. Open any page of this site with
?ml_ignore=trueat the end of the address, and this browser is no longer counted.?ml_ignore=falseundoes it.
The site is served by Cloudflare, which handles each request, including your IP address, to deliver the page and protect the site from abuse.
If you write to us, we use your email only to answer you.
