Privacy

mixr works entirely on your Mac. Nothing about your audio, your apps, or your devices leaves your machine. This isn’t a setting you turn on — it’s how mixr is built.

No account

mixr doesn’t have accounts. You don’t sign in, you don’t create a profile, and there’s no server holding your information — because there’s no server involved in using mixr at all.

No analytics, no telemetry

mixr collects nothing. It doesn’t track how you use it, what apps you run, what devices you have, or anything else. There’s no usage reporting, no crash telemetry phoning home, no “anonymous statistics.”

If you watch mixr’s network activity, you’ll see it isn’t talking to anyone while you use it. That’s the point.

What about the audio permission?

To give each app its own volume, mixr needs macOS permission to see your system audio. This lets it observe audio levels so it can adjust them — it does not record anything, and it does not send anything anywhere. The permission is about controlling levels on your Mac, not capturing audio off it. See: First launch & permissions

The only time mixr uses the network

There’s one exception, and it’s deliberate and rare: when you buy or activate a license, mixr contacts our server once to confirm your license. That’s a purchase confirmation — like downloading a receipt — not ongoing tracking. After that, your license is verified on your Mac, offline, with no further network contact. mixr never checks in while you’re using it.

Why we build it this way

Audio is personal. What you listen to, who you talk to, how you have your setup — none of that is our business, and we’ve made sure it can’t become our business by not collecting it in the first place.

The best way to protect your data is to never have it. So we don’t.


If mixr ever does something on the network you didn’t expect, that’s a bug — tell us, and we’ll fix it. Our commitment is simple: nothing about your use of mixr leaves your Mac.
