Your files stay on your bench.

RAW Sidecar Sanity is local-first. Inspection happens inside your browser, and image bytes are never uploaded by this app.

What is stored

Inspection reports contain filenames and extracted metadata—not image bytes—and are stored in this browser’s IndexedDB. The free edition keeps the most recent report; an active Pro license keeps up to 30. Your license token and daily verification verdict are stored in localStorage.

What leaves the device

Nothing during an inspection. When you buy or verify Pro, your browser contacts the Sociobot billing API. Sociobot/Dodo is the merchant of record and handles payment data; this static app never receives card details. There is no analytics or advertising.

Your controls

Use “Erase local reports” on the checker to remove report history. Remove a license from the Pro bench controls. Clearing site data also removes everything.
