  • The application makes no network connections. There is no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting, no account and no online activation. The only socket it opens is a local D-Bus connection, used to reveal a file in your file manager.
  • Your video files stay on your PC. Encoding runs through the bundled FFmpeg locally.
  • Temporary preview encodes are kept in a temporary folder and cleared after 24 hours. Exports are written as a .sgm-partial file and renamed into place when complete.
  • Exported files carry no watermark and no embedded identifiers beyond what the GIF or WebP format requires.
  • Steam: the app runs without Steam; when Steam is running, the Steamworks library lets Steam know the app is open.

The website’s own privacy notice, including analytics, is on the privacy page.
