The app

Dotwatt works on your Mac and sends nothing to us.

  • No account and no telemetry. The app has no analytics, crash reporting or usage tracking.
  • Battery history stays local. Readings of the last 30 days and the per-app energy totals are kept in files inside your Mac’s Application Support folder. Deleting the app’s folder there deletes them.
  • The license key is checked offline. Activation is a calculation on your Mac; the app does not contact a server.
  • Apple Intelligence runs on the device. When Dotwatt uses it to word the summary line, the text is produced by the model on your Mac. Nothing is sent to Apple or to us.

The only network use by the app is the system’s own, for example when you follow a link from a tip to its source.

Buying a key

Payments are handled by Paddle, the merchant of record for Dotwatt. Paddle collects your name, email address, country and payment details under its own privacy policy. We never see your card details.

When a purchase completes, our license service receives the transaction number and your email address from Paddle, creates the key and emails it to you through Resend, our email provider. The service keeps the transaction number, the email address and the date of purchase so that a lost key can be sent again.

This website

The website sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics. Its fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address as any web server does. The checkout loads Paddle’s script only when you press the buy button.

Your rights

To see, correct or delete the purchase record we hold, write to support@dotwatt.app. Deleting it means a lost key can no longer be sent again.
