The short version: the editor keeps your documents on your machine. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share.
Last updated: 2026-07-26
Your documents are read and written locally, on your own machine. There is no backend that receives your file contents, and no account is required to use the editor. Your files are plain .md on disk — yours to keep, move, or back up however you like.
Pinrom Docs on the web, at pinromdocs.com, is a separate and optional service. Using it requires an account, and the documents you keep there are stored on our servers to provide the service. It is not connected to the Mac app unless you choose to use it. Product analytics on the web never capture document content or share links.
The Mac App Store edition updates through the App Store and contacts no update server of ours. A direct download from this site instead checks for new releases so it can keep itself current — that check only asks whether a newer version exists, and never sends your documents.
When you choose to share a document, a private copy is uploaded so the link can render for the person you send it to. Creating a share requires a free account. The shared read page itself opens without an account, at an unguessable link that is never search-indexed. Commenting on or editing a shared document requires a free account on both sides, so contributions are attributed to a person. You can revoke a share at any time, after which the link stops being served instantly. Nothing is uploaded from the desktop editor until you decide to share.
We do not sell your data. We do not index your shared documents or make them public. Private shares are person-to-person and are not search-indexed.
