TocaPad privacy policy.
TocaPad turns the edges of your Mac's trackpad into volume and brightness controls. It has no account, no analytics and no GuruHat server.
Effective date: November 11, 2026
What TocaPad reads
While it runs, TocaPad reads where your fingers are on the trackpad, so it can tell when one slides along an edge. It uses those positions in the moment and forgets them. It never records, saves or sends what you touch, and it can't see what you type or click.
What TocaPad stores
- Your settings, such as sensitivity, edge width and which switches are on, in
~/Library/Preferences/com.guruhat.tocapad.plist - Open at login, if you turn it on, which macOS keeps in its own login items
Uninstalling: quit TocaPad, delete it from Applications, and delete the file above if you want your settings gone too.
What TocaPad sends
Once a day, TocaPad asks GitHub's public API whether there's a newer release of getguruhat/tocapad-macos. Like any web request, this tells GitHub your IP address and that a request was made. It sends nothing else: no settings, no usage and no identifier. GitHub's handling of the request is covered by GitHub's privacy statement.
Permissions
TocaPad asks for no permissions: no Accessibility, no Input Monitoring, no microphone or camera.
Downloading TocaPad
The download link on guruhat.com is covered by the GuruHat privacy policy.
