Data & Security

RAD keeps a record of your work. It doesn't keep watch over you.
Here's exactly what RAD captures, what it ignores, and what it will never do with your data.

RAD keeps a record of your work. It doesn't keep watch over you. Here's exactly what RAD captures, what it ignores, and what it will never do with your data.

Accessibility

Accessibility lets RAD read the text on your active window - so your evidence is searchable without slow OCR - and sense activity like clicks and app switches, so it can sense moments worth capturing. As with everything RAD captures, the output here is encrypted on your machine at the moment it's written.

What RAD actually captures

It never records what you type

It never records what you type

When you type ordinary text, RAD logs only that a key was pressed - never which one.

Only named shortcuts are recorded

Only named shortcuts are recorded

Something like ⌘S is logged by name, because a shortcut is a meaningful action signal - "the user saved" - not private text.

It honours your exclusions

It honours your exclusions

The same app-exclusion list that applies to screenshots applies here. Apps you've excluded aren't read.

Encrypted the moment it's captured

RAD seals everything it captures with AES-256-GCM encryption on your device, before anything is processed.
