Privacy

In short: Olaf Zen collects nothing. The app never connects to the internet. This website sets no cookies and only counts visits, without knowing who you are.

The app

• Olaf Zen makes no network connections. Nothing about you, your Mac or your pictures leaves it.
• Your pictures are never copied or uploaded. A scene only remembers where each file is.
• Your scenes and settings stay on your Mac, in the app's preferences (com.teamolaf.olafzen) and in ~/Library/Application Support/OlafZen/. That folder also holds a small log of what the app did (for example "wallpaper restored"), which you can open from the About window. It never leaves your Mac.
• On a Mac where the wallpaper isn't locked, Olaf Zen saves a copy of each display's picture as it's shown, in the same folder, so macOS can use it as the wallpaper. It also remembers your old wallpaper, to put it back when you turn Zen Mode off.
• On a company Mac, Olaf Zen reads whether the wallpaper is locked. It never changes the company's settings.

This website

• No cookies, no ads, no outside fonts.
• It counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies or other storage in your browser and doesn't track who you are: we see only totals, such as how many visits a page had. The app itself has no analytics.
• The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare handles your visit to deliver the page; we have turned off the request logs we could keep.
• The "Buy us a coffee" link goes to Ko-fi, a separate service with its own privacy rules.

To remove everything

Turn Zen Mode off (your old wallpaper comes back), quit Olaf Zen, and drag it to the Trash. To also remove its scenes and settings, delete the folder ~/Library/Application Support/OlafZen/, and run defaults delete com.teamolaf.olafzen in Terminal.
