Your privacy matters. Here's how Resurf handles your data.
Resurf is a local-first application. All your captures, notes, images, and personal data are stored exclusively on your Mac. We do not have access to your content, and it is never uploaded to our servers.
To help us improve Resurf, we collect anonymous usage analytics via PostHog. This is optional and can be disabled at any time in Settings.
When enabled, we collect:
We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error data. This helps us identify and fix bugs to improve app stability. Crash reports include:
Crash reports never include your captures, notes, images, or any personal content.
The Resurf Chrome extension lets you capture web content directly to your local Resurf library via right-click. When you choose to capture something, the extension reads:
This data is passed directly to the Resurf app on your Mac via a local protocol. It is never sent to our servers, never stored by the extension, and never shared with any third party. The extension only acts on explicit user gestures — it does not run in the background, monitor your browsing, or access pages you haven't interacted with.
If you purchase a license, your license key is validated with our server to activate the app. No personal data is shared during this process.
You can disable analytics at any time by going to Settings → General → Analytics and toggling it off. Analytics are enabled by default to help us improve the app. If you prefer not to share any usage data, we recommend disabling this on first launch.
Resurf is operated from Canada. If you are accessing the app from the European Union or another region with data protection laws, the following applies:
