Privacy
SpanWall is made by Starfall Forge.
Short version: SpanWall doesn't collect anything about you. There are no accounts, no analytics and no ads.
What stays on your Mac
Your wallpapers, monitor layout, settings, licence key and pets are stored only on your Mac. API keys for AI chat are kept in your Mac's Keychain.
When SpanWall goes online
- Update check: once a day it downloads a small file from this website to see if there's a new version. The request contains the app's version number and nothing else.
- Gallery: when you browse online wallpapers, SpanWall fetches them from the wallpaper sites you browse (for example Wallhaven or Wikimedia Commons).
- AI chat (optional): if you connect Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or another service, your chat messages are sent directly to that service with your own key, under its privacy policy. Ollama and LM Studio run on your Mac, so nothing leaves it.
- Linked computers: wallpapers, and in SpanWall Link the mouse, keyboard and copied text, travel only across your own home network between your own computers. The Link connection is encrypted with your pairing code.
- Notifications: the buddy's notification inbox only accepts programs running on the same Mac.
Buying
Payments are handled by our store provider (Paddle), who acts as the merchant of record. We receive your name and email so we can send your licence key and help you. We never see your card details.
Your pet photos
If you order a custom pet, we use your photos only to make your pet, and delete them within 30 days of delivering it. We never share them or use them for anything else.
