Where are your files, and are they uploaded?

Your files stay in their original folders. Resomark doesn't import, copy or upload them, and we never receive your files' contents, file names or folder names. What Resomark records itself lives in two places: a small .resomark folder in your Workspace, and app data on this Mac.

Only when you ask it to: when you edit and save in Resomark; create, rename, move or delete files; or click Revert while reviewing changes.

The trial ending, canceling, a refund or removing a device never makes Resomark delete or change any of your files.

  • The .resomark folder in a Workspace: once you add a file to Favorites or pin a folder in a Workspace, Resomark creates a .resomark folder at the Workspace's top level. The state.json inside it records your Favorites and Pinned Folders, and it travels with the folder. It contains a .gitignore, so Git won't commit it. You can delete it if you don't want it; that only loses your Favorites and pins.
  • App data on this Mac: Workspace History (the versions Track Changes records), sidebar records and settings are stored in your user Library (~/Library/Application Support/Resomark and elsewhere), not in your folders. They aren't deleted automatically when you uninstall the app.
  • Versions saved by your Mac: when you save in Resomark, macOS keeps versions of the file, which macOS manages and cleans up. See Three kinds of history.

Files in a remote Workspace stay on that remote machine, and their history is recorded there too.

  • Usage statistics: sent by default. They cover which features you use, rough statistics of editing activity, summaries of file types and counts, the app and system versions, language and region, and a random install ID. They include no document contents, file names, paths, selected text or search terms. To turn them off, quit Resomark and run this in Terminal:

    defaults write com.resomark telemetry.disabled -bool true
    
  • Crash reports: sent automatically when the app runs into an error or hangs, containing technical information such as the program's state, the version and the Mac model. File names, paths and host names are removed; only error messages from failed connections to a remote machine may not be fully cleaned. This can't be turned off for now.

  • What you send yourself: when you use Report a Bug…, what you write, the email you choose to add, and any screenshots you attach.

  • Account and payment: only when you sign in or subscribe: the email and name from your sign-in method, the devices you activate, and your subscription status. Payments are handled by Paddle; we never receive your card number.

  • Network access: the app connects to our servers to check for updates and download fonts. Images and other web content in your documents are loaded directly from the sites they're on.

Resomark doesn't hand your files to any AI. But when you have an AI tool work in a folder, it can read the files in that folder, and handles them under that tool's own rules. To keep files away from an AI, don't put them in the folder you have it work in.

Your files stay where they are, as ordinary Markdown and text files that any editor can open. You can delete the .resomark folder in a Workspace. Workspace History is in this Mac's app data, and stays there unless you delete it.
