Privacy Policy

Last updated November 7, 2026

Desktop 95, made by Showboat Studios, does not collect, store or share any personal information. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and it makes no network connections. The Web Surfer only shows pages built into the app.

What stays on your iPhone

The files you make on the pretend disk (notes, paintings and so on), the Trash Can, your scores and your settings are kept in the app's own storage on your device and are never sent anywhere. Deleting the app, or Setup › System › Reset Disk…, removes your files.

Photos

When you choose to save a painting, wallpaper or screen saver to Photos, iOS asks you to let the app add pictures. That permission only lets the app put new pictures in; it can't see, read or upload the photos you already have. You can change it any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos.

Sharing and the Files app

If you tap Share… or Export to Files…, iOS shows its own share sheet or file picker and you choose where the file goes. The app itself doesn't send it anywhere.

Copy and paste

Jotter and Calculator read the clipboard only when you choose Paste, and write to it only when you choose Copy or Cut.

Hinge, motion and sound

On iPhone Duo the app reads the hinge angle to know whether the lid is open, closed or in laptop pose, and in laptop pose it reads the phone's tilt so the coffee cup on the desk can spill. Sounds and music are made by the app itself. The app does not use the microphone, camera or location. None of this is recorded, stored or sent anywhere.

Children

The app collects no information from anyone, children included, and has no ads, purchases, links out or chat.
