What Drawell observes
Drawell watches the rhythm of your input inside one window that you choose: how your cursor moves, how fast you work, where you pause, and how long the session runs. That behavior — motion, tempo, dwell — is the only raw material an artwork is made from.
What Drawell never touches
- No screen content. Drawell does not read, capture, or analyze what is displayed on your screen. No screenshots, no live view.
- No files or documents. Nothing you are working on is opened, indexed, or inspected.
- Only the window you choose. Input outside your selected window is not part of the session.
Everything stays on your Mac
All processing happens locally, on your device. Artworks and their details — when a session was recorded, how long it ran, the window's name, and the style used — are stored on your Mac. Nothing leaves your device.
You own every piece. You can export any artwork as a PNG, keep it in your gallery, or delete it permanently at any time.
About macOS permissions
On first launch, macOS asks you to grant Drawell the Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions. These are the system's standard mechanisms for observing input events and for listing your open windows in the window picker. Granting them does not change what Drawell does: it responds to the rhythm of your input, never to the content on your screen.
This page describes how Drawell works today. If the app's behavior changes in a future update, this page will change with it.
