Volume Lock for macOS

Last updated: 28 September 2026

What the app stores, and where

Volume Lock keeps two things so that your setup survives a restart:

• Your maximum volume and whether the lock is switched on. These are stored in the standard macOS preferences system on your own Mac, under the identifier is.wednesday.VolumeLock.
• Whether you chose to start the app at login, stored the same way, along with the login item registration macOS itself keeps.

That is the complete list. These are settings, not personal information, and they are only ever read by the app on the Mac that wrote them.

No network access

The app contains no networking code at all. It does not phone home, check for updates, load remote content, or report errors. The only time anything leaves your Mac is when you deliberately click one of the two link buttons in Settings › About, which opens your web browser at the App Store product page or at this privacy policy. What happens after that is between your browser and those sites.

What the app reads on your Mac

To do its job, Volume Lock reads and sets the system output volume, and reads the name of the current output device so it can show it to you and warn you when a device cannot be capped. It does not record audio, and it has no microphone access. It does not read what you are listening to, which apps are playing sound, or anything else about your Mac.

PIN protection

A future update will add an optional PIN that protects the actions which weaken the limit. This paragraph describes that planned feature so there are no surprises when it arrives. The PIN will be stored on your Mac as a salted hash in the macOS Keychain, readable only by this app. The PIN itself will never be written to disk and will never be sent anywhere. Until that update ships, the app has no PIN feature.

Children

Volume Lock is a tool a parent or guardian sets up. It collects no information from anyone, including children. It does not know or ask who is using the Mac.

Data sharing, selling and tracking

None. There is no data to share, sell or track with, and there are no third-party services, SDKs or servers involved in the app at all.

Your data, deleted

Because nothing is collected, there is nothing held anywhere for you to request or delete. To remove the settings the app keeps on your own Mac, drag Volume Lock to the Trash and, if you want the preferences gone as well, run defaults delete is.wednesday.VolumeLock in Terminal.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever changes in a way that affects this policy, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. If a future version were ever to collect anything, it would be said here plainly and asked for in the app first.
