Your files stay on your Mac

Lemon converts files entirely on your computer. It never uploads, copies to a server, or inspects the contents of your files for any purpose other than the conversion you asked for.

What the app collects

Nothing. Lemon has no analytics, no tracking and no account. It keeps its settings (like which formats appear in the lemon) in your Mac's local preferences.

When the app goes online

Only twice, and never with your files:

  • Licence check. When you activate, and briefly at launch, Lemon sends your licence key and your Mac's name to Dodo Payments to confirm the key is valid.
  • Update check. Once a day Lemon fetches lemonmac.com/appcast.xml to see if a new version exists, and downloads it if so. This request includes your macOS version, like any web request.

Permissions

  • Accessibility lets Lemon notice your Option-click and see which file is under the pointer. It does not record your screen or your keystrokes.
  • Files and Folders lets Lemon read the file you picked and save the converted copy beside it.
  • Automation (Finder) is used only to read the current Finder selection when you convert several files at once.

Purchases

Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, our Merchant of Record. They receive the details you enter at checkout under their own privacy policy. We receive your email address and order details so we can send and support your license.

This website

The in-browser demo on lemonmac.com converts images inside your browser tab. Images you drop on it are never uploaded.
