The app

What it reads

Pagewide reads the files and folders you open, on your Mac, to show them. It never uploads them, never changes them and never sends anything about them anywhere.

What it stores, on your Mac only

• Your settings, such as the theme and where tabs are shown, in the standard macOS preferences for Pagewide.
• Remembered Smart Reference choices, in ~/Library/Application Support/Pagewide/reference-choices.json. Edit › Clear References Cache and Prefs… deletes them.
• Your own themes and custom.css, if you add them, in ~/Library/Application Support/Pagewide/.

When it uses the network

If a Markdown file shows an image from a web address, Pagewide loads that image to display it, as any browser would. The website that hosts the image sees the request. Links you click open in your browser. Nothing else in the app connects to the internet.

This website

• Hosting. pagewide.site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare handles each request, including your IP address, to deliver the page and protect it from abuse.
• No cookies or analytics of ours. Our pages set no cookies and run no analytics today. If we add visit counts, they will be cookieless, and this page will say so.
• Checkout. The buy buttons load Gumroad's checkout script from gumroad.com. When you buy, Gumroad collects your payment and contact details under its own privacy policy and shares your email address with us, and your name if you give one, so we can help with your purchase.
• Email. If you write to support@pagewide.site, we keep your message to answer it and to help with later questions.
