StepIn — Privacy Policy
The short version. Reconstruction is not done on your Mac. The photos in a task are uploaded to World Labs, the company behind the Marble model, and the finished scene comes back as a file. There is no account, no analytics and no telemetry, and the library stays on your disk.
What leaves your Mac
- The photos in a task. One to eight images of one place, plus the title and the
description you typed, are uploaded as a single job. They go to World Labs —
api.worldlabs.ai— under your API key if you added one, or under ours if you paid for scenes. Their retention applies from that point; we cannot delete a photo on your behalf. - Your licence key, if you buy scenes. The app asks
api-stepin.funnyapp.orgfor a balance, for the state of a job it started, and for fresh download links when a scene's asset URLs have expired. The key is the only identifier in those requests; there is no email, no device fingerprint and no account. - The scene itself. Downloaded from World Labs (or through the Worker, on the bought-scene route) and written to your library. It is not uploaded anywhere else.
What we do not collect
- No account, name or email address. A purchase happens at Paddle, and all we receive is the transaction id, the pack bought and the licence key it should be credited to.
- No photos, scenes, titles or descriptions on our servers. They exist on your disk and at World Labs, nowhere else.
- No usage statistics, crash reports, device identifiers or advertising identifiers.
- No cookies: the app has no browser and sets none.
What is stored on your Mac
Everything the app keeps lives in ~/Library/Application Support/StepIn, plus one item
in the Keychain:
Scenes/— the finished splat, its cover image and a small sidecar with the title, description, date and input count;Inputs/— the staged copies of the photos a task was made from, so the scene can be regenerated without finding the originals;jobs.json— the queue, so a task survives quitting the app;quota.json— a local mirror of the scene balance, so the sidebar can answer instantly and offline;credentials.json— your World Labs API key, if you added one;- the licence key, in the macOS Keychain rather than a file.
Deleting that folder and the Keychain item removes everything the app keeps. Scenes removed with
stepin rm or the app's delete command go to the Trash, not into a void.
Network requests
StepIn makes these requests, and no others:
- Generate a scene. Upload the photos, poll the job, download the result.
- Balance and job status. Only on the bought-scene route, only with the licence key.
- Checkout. The Buy button opens your browser at Paddle. That page has its own privacy policy; the app is not involved in the payment.
- Nothing else. No update pings, no analytics endpoint, no fonts, no crash reporting. This version has no auto-updater at all.
Children
StepIn is a tool for adults working with their own photographs and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If a future version changes what is uploaded or stored, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top will change.

StepIn — 隐私政策
一句话版本。三维重建不在你的 Mac 上完成。任务里的照片会上传到 World Labs（Marble 模型的 开发方），重建好的场景以文件形式返回。应用没有账号、没有分析统计、没有遥测，场景库保存在你自己的磁盘上。
什么会离开你的 Mac
- 任务里的照片。同一个地点的 1–8 张照片，加上你填写的名称和描述，会作为一个任务上传到
World Labs（
api.worldlabs.ai）。如果你填了自己的 API Key，就用你的账户上传；如果是购买场景， 则用我们的。从那一刻起适用对方的留存规则，我们无法代你删除照片。 - 授权码（购买场景时）。应用会向
api-stepin.funnyapp.org查询余额、查询任务 状态，以及在下载链接过期后换取新的链接。这些请求里唯一的身份标识就是授权码：没有邮箱、没有设备指纹、没有账号。 - 场景文件本身。从 World Labs（购买场景的路径下经由我们的 Worker）下载后写入本地场景库， 不会再上传到别处。
我们不收集什么
- 没有账号、姓名或邮箱。付款在 Paddle 完成，我们只收到交易号、购买的套餐，以及这笔场景应记到哪个授权码上。
- 我们的服务器上没有照片、场景、名称或描述。它们只存在于你的磁盘和 World Labs。
- 没有使用统计、崩溃报告、设备标识或广告标识。
- 没有 Cookie：应用里没有浏览器，也不设置任何 Cookie。
你的 Mac 上存了什么
应用保存的全部内容都在 ~/Library/Application Support/StepIn，另有一项在钥匙串里：
Scenes/——重建好的场景、封面图，以及记录名称、描述、日期和输入张数的小文件；Inputs/——任务所用照片的暂存副本，便于在不找回原图的情况下重新生成；jobs.json——队列，退出应用后任务不会丢；quota.json——场景余额的本地镜像，侧边栏可以离线立即回答“还剩几个”；credentials.json——你填写的 World Labs API Key（如果填了）；- 授权码保存在 macOS 钥匙串，而不是明文文件。
删除该文件夹和钥匙串中的条目，即可清除应用保存的全部数据。用 stepin rm 或应用内的删除操作移除的
场景会进入废纸篓，而不是被直接抹掉。
网络请求
StepIn 只会发起以下请求：
- 生成场景。上传照片、轮询任务、下载结果。
- 余额与任务状态。仅在购买场景的路径下、且仅携带授权码时发起。
- 结账。“购买”按钮会在浏览器中打开 Paddle，那个页面有自己的隐私政策；应用不参与支付过程。
- 没有别的了。没有更新检查、没有统计接口、没有第三方字体、没有崩溃上报。本版本没有自动更新器。
未成年人
StepIn 是给成年人在自己的照片上使用的工具，并非面向未成年人。我们不会有意收集任何人的信息，包括未成年人。
变更
如果后续版本改变了上传或存储的内容，本页面会在该版本发布前更新，页面顶部的日期也会随之改变。
