Privacy, Terms and Refunds

Last updated: 15 November 2026

Privacy policy

Drainspot is built so that what it learns about your Mac stays on your Mac. There is no account, no sign-in, no advertising and no analytics in the app.

What the app records, on your Mac only

• Battery readings: charge, health, cycle count, capacity, power, voltage and temperature.
• Charger details, and sleep, wake and screen-off events from macOS’s power log, with their stated causes.
• How much energy each app and process uses, by name, sampled about once a minute.
• Your settings, and your Drainspot Pro license key in your Mac’s Keychain.

This data is stored in Drainspot’s folder on your Mac. App activity is kept for 90 days; battery history is kept until you delete it. Deleting the app and its folder removes it.

What leaves your Mac

• Update checks. About once a day the app asks drainspot.app whether a new version exists. Like any web request, this reveals your IP address and the app’s version to our host; nothing about your Mac’s use is sent. We count these checks, and downloads from the site, by day, app version and country, so we know roughly how many Macs run Drainspot. We don’t store IP addresses or anything that tells one Mac from another.
• License checks (Pro only). When you activate, check or deactivate a license, the app sends your license key, an activation ID and a label with your Mac’s model identifier (for example “Mac16,7”, not your computer’s name) to Drainspot’s license service at drainspot.app, which checks it with Creem, our payment provider.
• Diagnostics, only if you choose. Settings › Recording can export a diagnostics file (your Mac’s model and what Drainspot can read from it, without your apps or history). It goes nowhere unless you send it to us.

Purchases

Orders are processed by Creem, which acts as the merchant of record. They collect your name, email, payment and billing details under their own privacy policy. We receive your order details, such as your email and license key, so we can help you with your purchase.

This website

The website sets no cookies and uses no third-party fonts. It counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and doesn’t follow you across sites: it sees the page, your browser and country, not who you are. Our host may keep standard server logs (such as IP addresses) for security.

Terms of use

• The app. Drainspot is free to download and use. Drainspot Pro unlocks more of what the app shows; every Mac gets a 7-day trial of Pro, without a card.
• Who sells it. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Creem, the merchant of record for all our orders. They handle payment, tax, receipts and billing questions, and their buyer terms apply to your purchase.
• Plans. Pro is offered monthly ($4.99 a month) or as a lifetime license ($19.99 once). Prices are in US dollars; Creem adds any sales tax or VAT that applies where you live. We may change prices for new purchases; a change to a running monthly plan is announced by email before it applies.
• Monthly plan. It renews automatically each month until you cancel. You can cancel any time from the link in your receipt email or Creem’s customer portal; Pro stays on until the end of the month you paid for, then the app returns to Free.
• Lifetime license. A one-time payment for Pro in this and future versions of Drainspot, with no renewals.
• Your license. Either plan gives a personal license that may be active on up to two Macs at once. You can move it by deactivating it on one Mac and activating it on another. Don’t share, resell or publish your key.
• Estimates. Figures such as time left, battery lifespan and the likely cause of a night’s drain are estimates from what macOS reports. They’re meant to inform you, not to be relied on for safety or warranty decisions.
• No changes to your Mac. Drainspot only reads information. It does not change charging, power or system settings.
• As is. Drainspot is provided “as is”, without warranties, to the extent the law allows. We aren’t liable for indirect losses arising from its use. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law.
• Changes. We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version.

Refund policy

If Drainspot Pro isn’t right for you, email support@drainspot.app within 14 days of your first payment, for either plan, with your order number and we’ll refund you in full. No reason needed.

On the monthly plan, cancelling stops the next renewal; months already paid aren’t refunded after those 14 days, but Pro keeps working until the paid month ends. If something went wrong with a charge, write to us and we’ll sort it out.

Refunds are issued by Creem to your original payment method. A refunded license stops unlocking Pro; the app keeps working as Free, and nothing it recorded is deleted.
