InLet is designed to keep rename processing on your Mac. This page explains what the app reads, what it stores locally, and what network behavior to expect from the current local-first version.
What InLet does with your files
InLet reads the contents and metadata of files in the folders you explicitly allow it to watch so it can suggest clearer names, Finder tags, and Finder comments.
This processing happens locally on your Mac using the bundled AI runtime. Your files are not uploaded to InLet servers.
What InLet stores
InLet stores the following on your Mac:
- app settings, including watched folder choices
- security-scoped bookmarks for user-selected folders
- recent rename history
- bundled local AI runtime files when included in the app bundle
InLet does not maintain a remote account system. When analytics is enabled, the app stores an anonymous install identifier locally so it can send first-party product metrics.
Network usage
The App Store build is designed around bundled local AI. Normal rename processing runs on-device.
When analytics is enabled, InLet sends anonymous product events to InLet-controlled infrastructure so the developer can measure installs, app launches, rename counts, and batch rename outcomes.
These events do not include file names, folder paths, extracted text, Finder comments, or document contents. You can disable analytics in Settings.
The direct download site also records completed artifact downloads, anonymous website page views, the page path visited, the referrer host when one is present, and an approximate visitor country code supplied by Cloudflare.
If a future version adds optional external AI providers, that behavior will be opt-in and documented in-app before any file content is sent outside your Mac.
