Mactor Privacy Policy
Last updated
Overview
Mactor is a Mac system monitor with optional Pro cleaning tools, alerts and history. This policy describes the information used by version 2.4.
System readings and file scans stay on your Mac. The App stores preferences and metric history locally. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase information for subscription access; the App also checks Apple for updates.
Local System Readings
The App reads local macOS system information to display live metrics and charts:
| Metric | Data accessed | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Processor tick counts via host_processor_info() | Display CPU usage % and per-core breakdown |
| GPU | Local graphics statistics through IOKit | Display GPU utilization, renderer and tiler load, and graphics memory |
| Memory | Virtual memory statistics via host_statistics64() | Display used / wired / compressed / free RAM and swap |
| Disk | Volume capacity, available bytes and local disk I/O statistics | Display capacity and read/write throughput for mounted volumes |
| Network | Interface byte counters via getifaddrs() | Display download / upload speeds |
| Battery | Power source info via IOKit IOPSCopyPowerSourcesInfo() | Display charge %, status, and time remaining |
The App also reads local process names and CPU/memory usage to show top processes. These readings are not uploaded to Nestor Studio, Apple or RevenueCat.
File Scans and Folder Access
Storage breakdowns and cleaner tools inspect file names, paths, sizes and application information in accessible folders. App Uninstaller checks installed apps and associated files, such as caches, containers and preferences, to prepare a selection for review.
The App uses macOS permission dialogs for selected folders and stores security-scoped bookmarks locally to remember access. File scan results and the contents of your files are not sent to subscription services or to Nestor Studio.
Cleaning changes files only when you choose a removal action and confirm it. Junk Cleaner deletes selected junk directly. Large Files Finder and App Uninstaller move selected items to the Trash. Access restrictions can make scans and removals incomplete.
Local Storage and Notifications
- Preferences include enabled metrics, refresh interval, appearance and menu bar display options.
- Alert settings and thresholds are stored locally. Alerts use local macOS notifications, with your permission.
- CPU, GPU, memory, free disk space and battery history is recorded while the App runs and saved locally. The rolling retention window is 24 hours; older samples are discarded as history is recorded or loaded. Recording is local even when the longer history views require Pro.
- Folder access bookmarks are stored locally. These settings and history do not sync through a Nestor Studio account.
Purchases and Subscription Services
Mactor uses Apple's App Store and RevenueCat to offer subscriptions, validate purchases, restore access and check whether Mactor Pro is active. RevenueCat is configured when the App starts, so subscription service requests are not limited to the moment you buy Pro.
These services process purchase records, subscription status, an app user identifier and technical information needed to provide their services. Mactor does not ask you to create an account or provide an email address for subscription access. Payment details are handled by Apple; they are not entered into Mactor.
System metrics, metric history and file scan contents are not included in subscription requests. RevenueCat's purchase processing is separate from monitoring your Mac.
For more information, see Apple's Privacy Policy and RevenueCat's Privacy Policy. Purchase records may be retained by those services under their policies and applicable requirements.
Update Checks
The App periodically requests its listing from Apple's Lookup API to check for a newer version. The request identifies the Mactor app by its bundle identifier. It does not send your system readings, metric history or file scan results. As with other network requests, Apple receives connection information such as your IP address.
Advertising and Sharing
The App does not include advertising, an advertising analytics SDK or a third-party crash reporting SDK. It does not sell your system readings or file scan results. Purchase-related information is processed by Apple and RevenueCat for the services described above.
Your Choices
You can change metric and alert settings, control notification permission in macOS, decline folder access, review selections before removal, and manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Contact us for questions or requests about information handled on our behalf; do not send private file contents with a support request unless needed.
