SaneVideo Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 17, 2026.

Local media

SaneVideo is designed for local video work. Recordings, imported media, projects, captions, and exports stay on your Mac unless you move or upload files yourself. Speech recognition for captions and Clean Up runs on your Mac.

Permissions

The app requests camera, microphone, and screen recording permissions only for recording features. macOS controls those permissions and you can revoke them in System Settings.

Network use

SaneVideo may contact SaneApps services for app updates, anonymous aggregate app counts, and support diagnostics you choose to send. The first time you use Clean Up or captions, it downloads the Parakeet speech model (about 600 MB) from Hugging Face once; no audio or video is sent. SaneVideo never uploads your recordings.

Support

Support email may include information you choose to provide, including diagnostics if you copy them from the app. Contact hi@saneapps.com.
