ExploreBar Privacy

Last updated: 24 October 2026

Product: ExploreBar for macOS, by AvanSaber Inc.

Local operation

ExploreBar works on your Mac without a required account. The app has no advertising, analytics service or automatic content upload. It does not send your favourites, file contents, event details, app labels or battery history to AvanSaber.

Settings and files

Favourites, security-scoped file references, local app labels/artwork, workspace definitions and preferences stay in ExploreBar’s local app container. Files and folders are selected through the macOS picker. Removing a favourite does not delete its original file. An unavailable item can be reconnected using Choose Again.

Calendar

Calendar access is optional. ExploreBar reads selected calendars to show upcoming events and does not edit them. Calendar identifiers and your display choices are saved locally. Event content stays in memory and is excluded from history, diagnostics and logs. Event titles start hidden. You can change Calendar access in System Settings.

Battery history and notifications

Battery history starts off. If you enable it, charge and power-state observations stay on your Mac for up to 30 days. Clear History removes saved observations after confirmation. When stopping history, choose whether to retain or remove existing samples. Reminder rules are local. macOS handles notification permission and delivery.

Diagnostics and support

The capability report is created only when requested and previewed before copying or saving. It excludes personal labels, paths, file contents, event details and device identities. The app does not send it automatically.

If you email support, your mail application sends the message and attachments you choose. AvanSaber receives the correspondence needed to answer your request. Review attachments before sending. Website contact forms, cookies, analytics and support correspondence are governed by AvanSaber’s parent privacy policy at https://www.avansaber.com/privacy/. Those website services are separate from the local Mac app.

Removing local data

The app provides controls for removing favourites, workspaces, customisations and battery history. Source files remain intact when favourite references are removed. Removing ExploreBar’s local app container removes its saved settings and history. Keep the source files and copies you want to retain.

Apple purchases

Apple processes App Store purchases and distribution under its own terms and privacy policy. ExploreBar does not collect payment-card details.
