Your recordings stay on your PC.
CyanFocus records and edits on your own computer. It has no account and no cloud, and nothing is uploaded.
In short: CyanFocus does not collect your recordings, your screen, your voice or your files. We never see them.
What stays on your computer
- Recordings: screen video, microphone, system audio and camera. They are saved in your Documents\CyanFocus folder and in your saved projects.
- Mouse and click data: used only to draw the cursor and add automatic zooms, and kept with your recording.
- Captions: made on your PC by a speech model that runs locally. Your audio is never sent anywhere.
- Exports: saved where you choose.
When CyanFocus uses the internet
- Captions model download: the first time you make captions, CyanFocus downloads the speech model (the program itself, not your data) from a public model library. After that it is cached on your PC.
- Update check: CyanFocus may check whether a newer version exists. That check sends nothing about you or your recordings.
Diagnostics you choose to send
Send diagnostics in the app saves a small file to your Downloads folder. It contains:
- the app version and your Windows version
- your CPU and memory
- whether the recorder parts are working
- recent error messages
It contains no video, audio or screenshots, and nothing is sent automatically. If you email it to us, we use it only to fix your problem.

cyanfocus.com is hosted by Cloudflare, which keeps standard server logs, such as IP addresses, for security and to keep the site running. This site does not use tracking cookies or advertising.
Payments
CyanFocus Pro is sold through Creem, our payment provider and merchant of record. Creem processes your payment and handles sales tax. We receive your email address, your plan and your licence details, never your card number.
Licence checks
If you use Pro, CyanFocus checks your licence key about once a day. The check sends the key and a random ID for this PC, and nothing about your recordings.
