Why aren’t there any transactions showing up for my watched wallets?

What information is being sent out of my machine? Do you, Google, or the CIA become aware of the wallets I’m tracking?

The wallet addresses are saved to your “user defaults”, which are stored locally, but are not encrypted.

Our analytics track the number of wallets people are watching, just to get an idea of how successful the feature is, but even that number isn’t tied to your identity (we don’t even really know who ‘you’ are, because there is no login.

Why is there a party/tada 🎉 emoji in my menu bar?

The 🎉 emoji shows up in your menu bar whenever a new transaction occurs in a wallet you’re watching.
