Mac App Privacy Policy

Covers the “Muraja Iʿrāb” macOS app.

The app shows the grammatical analysis (iʿrāb) of Arabic text you choose to analyze. It asks macOS for two powerful permissions, so this page is mostly about exactly how narrowly each one is used.

Data we process

• Text you choose to analyze. When — and only when — you press the shortcut, use the Services menu item, or press Analyze in the menu bar window, that text is sent over HTTPS to muraja.app for analysis. The app does not read documents, watch what you type, or transmit anything you did not explicitly act on.
• IP address. Standard for any web request; used server-side only to enforce the free daily usage limit. Analyzed sentences may be cached server-side (keyed by the sentence itself) so repeated analyses are instant.
• Account connection (optional). If you connect your muraja.app account, the app stores your API token in the macOS Keychain and sends it with analysis requests so your subscriber allowance applies. Disconnecting, in Settings, deletes it.

The Accessibility permission

macOS requires this permission for one app to read the current selection in another. The app uses it for exactly two things, both only at the moment you press the shortcut: reading the text you have selected, and asking where that selection is on screen so the panel can appear next to it. It is not used to observe keystrokes, monitor which apps you use, or read anything you have not selected.

The permission is optional. Two ways in need no permissions at all: the paste box in the menu bar window, and the “Analyze Iʿrāb” item in the system Services menu. If you would rather not grant Accessibility, the app still works through those.

The Screen Recording permission

macOS requires this for any app that captures part of the screen. It is used only when you press the region-capture shortcut (⌥⌘R) and drag out an area — never in the background, and never for the rest of the screen.

The recognition happens on your Mac. The captured image is read by Apple's Vision framework locally and then deleted; the image is never uploaded. Only the recognized text is sent for analysis, and only after it is shown to you for review.

Data stored on your Mac

• Recent analyses. Kept locally so reopening a past result costs nothing and does not spend one of your daily sentences. Never uploaded. Clear it any time with “Clear” in the menu bar window.
• Your account token, in the Keychain, if you connected an account.
• Your shortcut preferences.

What the app does not do

• No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting. The app contains no tracking of any kind and makes no network requests other than the analysis calls described above.
• No advertising, and no selling or sharing of data.
• No background activity. It does nothing until you invoke it.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be published here and the date above revised.
