What Vantic Detects

​

What Vantic derives

With your permission via the macOS Accessibility API, Vantic IQ derives five categories of workflow signal: Together these describe how work moves, not what the work contains.

​

What Vantic never collects

• Screen content, screenshots, or any recording of your display
• Keystrokes or typed text of any kind
• File or document contents
• Email bodies or message text
• Clipboard contents

​

Window titles

Window titles sit at the content boundary — not raw content, but capable of carrying meaning. Vantic hashes them at the point of capture using SHA-256. The original string is discarded immediately and cannot be recovered. Hashes are used only for detecting repetition and continuity — not for reading what the title said.

​

Why “architecture” not “policy”

Content inside applications is not on the ingestion path. That is a different posture from “we collect everything and apply access controls.” The privacy boundary is structural — enforced at capture, not downstream. See Privacy-safe by architecture for the full explanation.

​

Auto-exclusions

The following categories are excluded by default and cannot be re-enabled:

• Password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, macOS Keychain)
• Australian banking applications
• macOS system credential prompts and dialogs

The live list includes Australian banking applications and password managers as described on the Security page. These exclusions are applied before any signals from those contexts are processed.
