What the camera sees
The operating system provides live frames for face-signal estimation while a session is active.
What EyeJolt keeps
Local settings and session metadata can include duration, closure timing, alert counts, and sounds fired. They do not include face images.
Custom alarms
Audio you record is stored locally and can be added to your rotation. It is shared only when you choose an export action.
Background desktop use
On macOS, the native monitor can continue while the EyeJolt window is behind other apps. This does not change the no-recording policy.
