Privacy Policy
Your privacy and local audio access.
Last updated: March 19, 2026
Overview
Finger in the Crab Dip is a macOS audio-reactive visualizer. This policy explains what information the app may access, how that access is used, and how to contact us with questions.
Information the app may access
Finger in the Crab Dip may request permission to access system audio through macOS so it can analyze the sound currently playing on your device and render synchronized visuals.
Based on the current product design, audio analysis is intended to happen locally on-device for visualization purposes.
How information is used
Audio access is used to detect characteristics such as volume, rhythm, and frequency content so the app can animate visual scenes in real time.
Finger in the Crab Dip is not intended to sell personal information or use audio access for advertising.
Data storage and sharing
Finger in the Crab Dip is designed to minimize data handling. If future versions introduce analytics, cloud sync, account systems, or external data storage, this policy should be updated before those features are released.
At this time, the website does not provide account creation or an in-browser contact form. The contact button opens your email app so you can choose what information to send.
Your choices
You can decline or revoke screen and system audio permissions in macOS system settings at any time. If permission is not granted, app functionality may be limited.
