The automation layer and the AI layer should be evaluated separately. MacroLoop’s current App Store disclosure says it does not collect user data and that recordings run locally on the Mac. A cloud AI service may still receive the prompts or files submitted to it.
What stays on the Mac
The recorded event sequence and playback process are handled by MacroLoop on the user’s computer according to its current listing.
What may leave the Mac
Text pasted into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another online service is governed by that service. Review sensitive prompts, account settings, and organizational policies before automating submission.
THE TAKEAWAY
Local mouse-and-keyboard playback does not make an external AI service local.OFFICIAL REFERENCES
