Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Hazakura Editor handles data in the App Store version of the app. It focuses on the app's own behavior. It does not describe what macOS, Apple services, or files opened in other apps may do.
Overview
Hazakura Editor is a local Markdown and text editor for macOS. The app is designed to open, edit, preview, read, compare, export, and save files that you choose.
Files you choose
Hazakura Editor reads and writes files or folders you select through the app UI. It does not scan your home directory automatically, does not index a project in the background, and does not upload document contents.
Local data
Hazakura Editor stores local preferences such as theme, tab state, editor settings, recent items, and unsaved recovery state on this Mac.
If auto-backup is enabled, backup snapshots are written under .hazakura/backups/... inside the selected workspace.
Hazakura Local Assist
The App Store version of Hazakura Editor includes Hazakura Local Assist (preview). It uses on-device AI (Apple Foundation Models) on supported Macs to suggest edits such as proofreading, summarizing, translating, shortening, or continuing text.
Suggestions are generated locally. Local Assist does not send document contents to external AI services, has no network fallback, performs no background rewriting, and does not auto-save or auto-apply. Suggestions are reviewed as a diff before you choose to accept or discard them. Availability and quality depend on your Mac, macOS version, Apple Intelligence settings, and language or region.
Network, analytics, and cloud services
The App Store version of Hazakura Editor does not include external AI calls (Local Assist runs on-device only), analytics, telemetry, third-party crash reporting, or cloud sync.
The Markdown preview does not fetch external images.
Explicit user actions, such as printing, showing a file in Finder, or moving a file to Trash, may hand selected paths or temporary files to macOS system services.
