Window Seat for Mac · Last updated November 8, 2026
The short version
Window Seat doesn't collect, store, or share any of your data on a server. There's no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. Your calendar, your screen and your break history stay on your Mac.
Your calendar
With your permission, Window Seat reads the events in the calendars you choose so breaks wait until your meetings end. It checks the time, title, location, notes and attendees of current and upcoming events on your Mac. Your events are never uploaded, copied or sent to us or anyone else.
Apple Intelligence
On Macs that support it, Window Seat can use Apple Intelligence to tell meetings from solo time like lunch. The event title, length and location are read by Apple's on-device model on your Mac, and nothing is sent to us. Window Seat remembers its decision for each event title on your Mac, and you can change any decision in Settings.
Camera and microphone
Window Seat only checks whether another app is using the camera or microphone, so a break doesn't interrupt a call. It never opens the camera or microphone, and never records video or audio.
Your screen
If you turn on Show my screen during breaks and allow Screen Recording, Window Seat takes one still image of your screen when a break starts and another as it ends, so your screen can drift into the sky and come back without a jump. These images stay in memory only for that break. They are never saved to disk, uploaded or sent anywhere. Window Seat also checks which app is in front and whether a window fills the screen, to know when you're presenting.
Your breaks and settings
Your break history (breaks taken and skipped, and your streak) and your settings are stored only on your Mac. Delete the app to remove everything.
Children
Window Seat doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
