Your data stays on your Mac.
LaunchDeck has no accounts, analytics or advertising, and it does not send your data to the developer.
Your app layout, favorites, hidden apps and preferences; the index of folders you choose to search; the 12 most recently launched apps and per-app launch counts (dropped after 180 days without a launch); up to 30 recent documents; search learning for your 200 most recent queries; the latest 50 actions, recipe runs and workflow runs; and, only if you turn it on, clipboard history for 1, 7 or 30 days.
Settings → Privacy → Clear All Local Behavioral Data removes launch history and counts, recent documents, the file index, search learning, clipboard history, action, recipe and workflow logs, AI request history and recent move destinations. It asks first and keeps your favorites, folders and recipes. Turning clipboard history off deletes what it saved.
Clipboard history is off by default. When on, it skips content that password managers mark as concealed or transient, and apps such as 1Password, Bitwarden, Passwords and Keychain Access, plus any app you exclude.
Intent search (queries starting with /) uses Apple’s on-device Foundation Models. Recipes can optionally use an AI provider you configure yourself; only then does LaunchDeck send that recipe’s input to the provider you chose. Your API key is kept in the macOS Keychain.
LaunchDeck connects to the internet only for an AI provider you configured. Web links and quicklinks open in your browser.
