2. What SketchNotes Whiteboard Does

SketchNotes Whiteboard is a Mac whiteboard app for visual notes. It helps users draw, type, add screenshots and images, create shapes, connect ideas with arrows and lines, erase board objects, save boards, and export boards as PNG or PDF.

The app does not require a cloud account, user account, login, registration, or app-controlled server account to use its core whiteboard functionality.

3. Information You Create in the App

When you use SketchNotes Whiteboard, you may create or add content such as:

This is your content. You control what you create, save, export, or share.

4. Local-First Storage

Boards and app content are stored locally on your Mac unless you choose to save, export, or share them.

SketchNotes Whiteboard stores working board content and app preferences on your Mac. When you save a board, the board is saved as a local file. When you export a board, the exported PNG or PDF is saved where you choose.

The app does not send your board content to myworkingmemory LLC servers.

Local files can still be lost if they are deleted, the app is removed, the device fails, or the files are not backed up. For important work, use Save or Export and keep your own backup copy.

5. Screen Recording and the Screenshot Tool

Screen Recording permission is used only when you intentionally use the Screenshot tool to capture your screen into a board.

SketchNotes Whiteboard includes a Screenshot tool. When you intentionally use that tool, the app may request macOS Screen Recording permission so it can capture a still screenshot and insert that screenshot into your board.

The Screenshot tool is used to create a still image for annotation. The app does not continuously record your screen, does not capture screen video, and does not capture audio through this feature.

The captured screenshot is used so you can mark it up with whiteboard tools such as drawings, text, shapes, arrows, and fills.

Screenshots and images you add may contain private information. Only save or export boards you are comfortable keeping or sharing.

Screenshots added to a board are stored locally as part of the board content and/or exported files if you choose to save or export them.

6. Images and User-Added Files

You may add images or screenshots to a board. These images may contain private, confidential, personal, or third-party information.

You are responsible for deciding what images or screenshots to add, save, export, or share. Review sensitive boards and exported files before sharing them.

7. Purchases and StoreKit

SketchNotes Whiteboard uses a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase for full access. It is not a subscription. There is no recurring charge from this app.

Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. myworkingmemory LLC does not receive or store your full payment card information.

The app may receive purchase or unlock status from StoreKit so it can determine whether full access has been purchased or restored.

You may export boards as PNG or PDF files. Exported files may include the drawings, typed text, shapes, screenshots, images, arrows, and other board content you created or added.
