Privacy — Leviter

What it uses, and why.

Camera	To see your hand and turn its movements into pointer moves and clicks. Frames are processed on your Mac by Apple’s Vision framework, then discarded. No picture or video is ever saved or sent.
Microphone	To type and give commands by voice when you ask it to listen, or to hear “Connect” if you turn that on. Speech is turned into text on your Mac by Apple’s on-device recognizer, used for that one command and never saved.
Accessibility	To move the pointer, click and type, and to read what’s on screen where you point or speak: the button or text box under the pointer, the names of the buttons and links in the window in front when you give a command, and the words in the box you’re editing when you ask to change them. Read on your Mac when needed, never saved.
Apple Intelligence	If it’s turned on, to understand commands phrased in your own words, using Apple’s on-device model. It sees what you said and the names of the controls on screen. Nothing is kept.

What stays on your Mac.

Your settings and calibration.
Recordings, only when you make one (Help & Testing → Record Session, or Flag the Last 30 Seconds). They hold the positions of your hand’s joints over time, which actions ran (for example “searched the web”, never what you searched for or said), which app was in front, and where a window moved (never its title). No video, no audio, no words.
A running timer and the name you gave it, until it rings or you stop it.
Daily usage counts: minutes hand control was on, clicks, near-misses, drags, which of Leviter’s actions ran, and each time the trackpad was needed, with the time and which app was in front. No words, no pictures.
Your agreement to the Terms of Use: which version you agreed to and when, so Leviter doesn’t ask again.
Crash reports, if the app ever crashes: where in Leviter’s own code it stopped. Nothing you typed, said or saw. They stay on your Mac unless you choose to send one.

All of it lives in Leviter’s folder in your Library. Help & Testing → Open Config Folder shows it, and you can delete anything there at any time.

What leaves your Mac.

Nothing, from Leviter itself. It makes no network connections: no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking.

When you ask it to open a website or search the web, it opens that page in your own browser, which connects to the site as it always would. When you say “find …”, it types your words into Spotlight, and Spotlight’s own settings decide whether it looks them up online.

To type by voice, Leviter pastes your words, then puts back whatever you had copied.

The first time you use your voice, macOS may download Apple’s speech recognition files. That download is macOS’s, not Leviter’s.

Your controls.

Hand control starts off each time Leviter opens.
Turn it off at any time from Leviter’s icon in the menu bar , or with ⌃⌥⌘H.
Listening for “Connect” stays off unless you turn it on. While it’s on, macOS shows its microphone indicator.
Remove Camera, Microphone or Accessibility access in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
