Waypoint privacy policy

Waypoint keeps your links on your Mac. It collects nothing and sends nothing to us.

Last updated: 7 October 2026

Waypoint is made by Alexander Sedeke, Prague, Czech Republic. This policy covers the Waypoint Mac app and the Waypoint browser extensions for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Helium, Firefox and Zen.

In short

Your links stay on your Mac. Waypoint has no account, no server of ours, no analytics and no tracking. We never see what you save.

What the browser extension does

The extension shows Waypoint’s panel in your browser and talks to the Waypoint app on the same Mac, at 127.0.0.1 (your own computer). It talks to nothing else.

• Tabs: it reads the address and title of a tab when you save it, and the address of the page you are on so the panel can show that page’s group. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere except to the Waypoint app on your Mac.
• Storage: it keeps its connection to the app and a few settings in the browser’s own extension storage. Saves made while the app is not running wait there until the app is back.
• Context menu: it adds Save to Waypoint to the right-click menu.
• Side panel: it shows the panel (Chromium browsers).

The extension does not read the content of pages, does not inject anything into websites, and does not use remote code.

What the Mac app does

The app keeps your links, groups, topics and settings in a database file on your Mac, with daily backups beside it. After you save a link, the app fetches that page’s icon and short description directly from the website you saved, the same way your browser would. When you open a link, the app hands it to the browser you chose.

Agents

If you connect an AI agent (MCP), it reaches the app on your Mac with a token you created, and can read and change your links. What the agent does with that data is governed by the agent’s own terms. You can revoke the token and undo the agent’s changes in the app at any time.

Your control

Everything is yours: export it from Settings › Data, or delete it by removing the app and its data folder (~/Library/Application Support/com.vizis.waypoint). Removing the extension removes its storage.

Changes and contact
