Privacy

Nothing it finds ever leaves your Mac

There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry and no crash reporting. The scanner has no network client in it at all. Findings, file paths, credentials, your code and the contents of your AI conversations are read on your machine, shown on your machine, and never transmitted anywhere.

The one request it makes

The app checks whether a newer version exists. That is an HTTPS request to templetongroup.dev for the same update file listed on the download page, and it carries only the version you are currently running — nothing about your machine, and nothing about what was scanned. System profiling is explicitly switched off, and the app asks your permission before it starts checking automatically. You can turn it off at any time and the scanner keeps working.

What it reads

• Your Mac's settings — encryption, firewall, sharing services, listening ports, sleep and lock behaviour. Read through the same commands you could run yourself.
• Your AI assistants' folders — conversation logs and configuration files, checked for credentials and for what the agents are permitted to do.
• A folder you choose, and only when you choose it through the system's own file picker.

It does not read your email, your browser history, your documents or anything else outside those places.

What it writes

Nothing, until you click a fix. Scan history is stored on your own machine under ~/Library/Application Support/Templeton Protect, readable only by your account. Reports go where you point the save panel.

It never prints the secret

Every finding, export and notification has the credential blanked out before it is shown. A report that carries the key it found has copied that key somewhere new, which is the exact failure this tool exists to catch.

See for yourself
