Privacy for the ParrotFlow app and website, ParrotFlow, 2026, Privacy page, the table of files the app writes on your Mac.
Open the original- What it measures
- The table lists each file the app writes on the Mac. The trace file is ~/.config/parrotflow/recordings/trace.jsonl. The page says none of these files is uploaded, and its delete command removes the file.
- What it does not show
- The row is a default with no period. The page gives a command that removes the file, so deletion is in the user's hands. The page does not say whether the file is ever rotated or trimmed. It says nothing about human review.
In the data
