Legilo Privacy Policy

Legilo Privacy Policy

This is the privacy policy of Legilo, an app for Mac, iPhone and iPad by micropixels. This website has its own policy.

Last updated 9 November 2026.

Legilo has no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and micropixels runs no server that holds your library. What you save stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. Legilo connects to the internet to sync through iCloud, to read the pages you save, to download its search model from Apple, and when you send feedback.

Your library and iCloud

Your boards and everything on them (links, the readable copies of articles, Saved Pages, pictures, files, notes and tags) are kept on your devices and synced through the private iCloud database of your own Apple Account. We cannot see them. Apple stores them under its own privacy policy. You can turn off Sync with iCloud for one device in Legilo's settings, under iCloud.

Pages you save

When you save a link, Legilo downloads the page from its website to make a readable copy, and fetches the page's picture and the site's icon. The website sees a request from your device and its IP address, as it would if you opened the page yourself.

When you save a page from Safari with Legilo's extension, the extension reads the page in your tab, as you see it, and keeps a picture of it. It does this only when you save a page with it.

Search

Search by meaning runs on your device. The model it uses is downloaded from Apple, and neither your library nor what you search for leaves your device for it.

Legilo also adds your boards and saved items, the text of articles included, to your device's Spotlight index, so that Spotlight and Siri can find them. The system keeps that index on your device.

Send Feedback

If you send feedback from Legilo, it sends us your email address, the subject and message you write, any files and screenshot you attach, Legilo's log if you include it, and Legilo's version, your system's version and your device's model. The log can contain the addresses of pages you saved and the names of files you added; the form shows it before you send, and you can leave it out.

To check that the report comes from a genuine copy of Legilo, the app also sends a proof from Apple (App Attest, or the App Store's record of your copy), which says nothing about who you are.

The report goes into micropixels' support tracker and is used to answer you and to fix the problem you describe. It is kept for as long as that takes and as long afterwards as it helps to improve the app. To stop the form being flooded, a scrambled version of your IP address is counted for up to two days.

Diagnostics

Legilo keeps a record of what it did, and the system's reports of its crashes, on your device. They leave it only if you export them or attach them to feedback yourself.
