Privacy for Rocket Bin

Last updated August 2026

It runs entirely on your Mac

Rocket Bin works offline. There is no account, no ads, and no tracking or analytics. Nothing about your files, your cleanups, or your usage is uploaded to a Rocket Bin server. There is no Rocket Bin server. The app is sandboxed, and your progress, stats, and cleanup history are saved locally on the Mac.

What happens to your files

When you drop files on the rocket, or use Deep Clean, Rocket Bin moves them to the macOS Trash using the official system API. It never deletes anything permanently, never bypasses the Trash, and never uses rm. Everything can be restored from the Trash, and a one-click Undo returns a cleanup to where it came from.

What it will not touch

Every item is safety-checked before it can be removed. System files, applications, the Keychain, Mail, Messages, Photos libraries, iCloud Drive, and other personal locations are refused automatically. You always review the list and confirm before anything moves, and you can untick items you want to keep.

File access

Rocket Bin only looks at the files you drop onto it, or, with Deep Clean, at a few well-known junk locations such as app caches, old downloads, log files, and old screenshots. It reads what it needs to show you the list and move the items you approve. It does not read the contents of your documents or send them anywhere.

Distribution

Rocket Bin is coming to the Mac App Store. If you install it there, Apple handles the download and any purchase under the Apple Privacy Policy, and may share aggregate, anonymous statistics with me as a developer. That is separate from the app itself, which stays silent.

Children

Rocket Bin is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
