The short version
Green Dotter runs entirely on your own computer. It doesn't require an account, it doesn't read your messages, it doesn't access your files, and it doesn't record or capture your screen. It simulates mouse clicks inside an area you define — nothing more.
What's collected
Green Dotter collects anonymous, session-level analytics only — things like app launches and when a session starts and ends. This helps understand how the app is used in aggregate.
- No personal data
- No account or sign-in
- No message content
- No screen captures or screenshots
- No keystroke logging
Permissions
On Mac, Green Dotter needs macOS Accessibility permission so it can perform clicks. This is Apple's standard requirement for any app that automates mouse or keyboard input. You grant it consciously, you can see it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, and you can revoke it at any time.
Your control
You choose the click area, the timing, and the stop conditions. You can stop a session instantly at any time with F8 or ⌘⇧.. Uninstalling the app removes it completely.
