Privacy Policy
Your screenshots
stay yours.
Last updated: March 2026
The short version
Quick Gen does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Your screenshots never leave your computer. There is no account system, no cloud storage, no analytics baked into the app, and no telemetry of any kind. We built Quick Gen to be a tool you can trust with sensitive content on your screen.
What data does Quick Gen collect?
None. Quick Gen runs entirely on your local machine. Here is exactly what happens with your data:
Screenshots & recordings
Stored locally on your computer in the location you configure. Never uploaded anywhere.
Clipboard data
Screenshots are copied to your system clipboard. This stays on your device and follows your OS clipboard behavior.
Settings & preferences
Stored in a local config file on your machine. Not synced, not backed up to any server.
Usage analytics
There are none. We don't track feature usage, session duration, crash reports, or anything else.
Network requests
Quick Gen makes no network requestsduring normal operation. The only time the app connects to the internet is when it checks for updates via GitHub's public releases API — and this is optional. No personal information is included in that request.
This website
The Quick Gen website (qgn.app) uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. This is standard web analytics and applies only to the marketing website — not the desktop application.
Google Analytics may collect anonymized data such as page views, referral sources, and general geographic region. You can opt out of Google Analytics using a browser extension or ad blocker. See Google's opt-out tool.
Open source transparency
Quick Gen is open source under the MIT license. You can inspect every line of code to verify these claims yourself. The source code is available at github.com/Mopra/qgn.app.
Third-party services
Quick Gen does not integrate with, send data to, or receive data from any third-party service. There are no embedded SDKs, advertising libraries, crash reporters, or analytics frameworks in the desktop application.
Children's privacy
Quick Gen does not collect any data from anyone, including children under 13. Since no personal data is collected or stored, there is no COPPA applicability.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change our data practices, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above. Given our core philosophy of local-only operation, we do not anticipate significant changes.
