What Hikage records
After the user enables related capabilities, Hikage can record foreground app transitions, anonymous input-activity timestamps, normalized browser domains, system sleep/wake facts, and display sleep/wake facts. Input activity is used only for activity detection and does not include key codes, text, coordinates, or clicked objects.
What Hikage does not record
Hikage does not record specific keys, typed text, mouse coordinates, window titles, full URLs, paths, query strings, page titles, page content, or clipboard data.
Where data is stored
The raw database is stored in the user’s Application Support Hikage directory by default. Derived caches are stored under the user’s Caches directory and can be cleared by the system or the user without deleting raw events.
Uploads
Activity records, statistics, browser domains, calendar candidates, and Apple Calendar events are not uploaded by default. License activation sends only activation metadata such as installation ID, public key, device hash, app/system version, device label, device proof, and the activation code entered by the user.
Browser and calendar permissions
Browser-domain recording requires enabling each browser and granting Automation permission. Apple Calendar integration is off by default and requests permission only when the user connects a calendar, selects a writable calendar, or explicitly writes or deletes an event.
Deleting local data
Users can locate Hikage’s Application Support data directory in Finder and delete the local database and license material after quitting the app. Derived caches live under Caches and can be cleared separately.
