Local files
Vanilla Markdown is presented as a tool for opening and reading Markdown files and folders that already live on your device.
Privacy.
Vanilla Markdown is positioned as a local-first Markdown viewer, which means the product claims on this site focus on opening and reading files already on your device. This privacy page explains that local-file model, describes optional website analytics for launch measurement, and outlines how support emails are handled. It is written to make the site trustworthy without burying the plain-English version under legal wallpaper.
This page covers the site and product posture in practical terms, not with an evasive paragraph buried in the footer.
Site analytics
This launch site can use Google Analytics 4 only after consent so the team can measure which pages lead to App Store visits.
Support email
If you email support, your message and the details you provide are used to respond to your request and troubleshoot product issues.
Search visibility
The site is designed to be crawlable by major search engines and AI search crawlers so the product can be found and cited accurately.
Plain-language summary
What this means in practice.
The product positioning is local-first. The marketing site itself can collect basic aggregate analytics if you accept the consent prompt. Support email is used for support. The site does not need a broader account system, newsletter profile, or behavior-tracking stack to launch.
If you need a more formal legal policy before launch, this page can be expanded or replaced with counsel-reviewed language while keeping the same product claims and layout.
Contact
Privacy questions can be sent to [email protected]. Launch analytics are disabled unless consent is granted in the site banner.

One last scoop
The product claim stays simple: local Markdown reading on Mac.
Vanilla does not need a sprawling data model to explain what it does. The site keeps the privacy story aligned with the product instead of frosting it into nonsense.
