Fixi — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 19 October 2026
The short version
Fixi watches what you type, on your computer, so that it can notice when something was typed in the wrong keyboard language and fix it. What you type is held only in memory. It is never written to disk by Fixi, and never sent to us or to anyone else.
Fixi never connects to the internet.
What Fixi observes
To do its job, Fixi has to see your keystrokes as you type them. It holds them in memory — at most your last 20 words, and never anything from before your last Enter or Tab, click, window switch, cursor movement or keyboard shortcut — so it can tell whether you meant Hebrew or English.
Before correcting anything, Fixi reads back the text just before the cursor, to check that what is on screen is exactly what it tracked. It reads only as far back as the text it is about to correct, plus a character or two.
Fixi also notices when a mouse button is pressed — only that it was pressed, never where, and never how the mouse moves — because a click can move the cursor, and Fixi must then forget what it was tracking.
That memory is cleared:
- as soon as a correction is made,
- whenever you press Enter or Tab,
- whenever you move to a different window or text box,
- whenever you move the cursor, with the keyboard or by clicking,
- whenever you use a keyboard shortcut,
- whenever Fixi is paused,
- the moment a password field is detected.
So that you can undo. After a correction, Fixi keeps the text it replaced, and what it replaced it with, so that tapping Ctrl twice can put it back exactly. It keeps at most the last 20 corrections, in memory only, and for no longer than ten minutes. They are also forgotten when you pause Fixi, when a password field is detected, and when you quit. When you undo a correction, Fixi also remembers those words, in memory only, until you quit, so that it does not correct them again.
What Fixi never does
- It never writes what you type to disk. No log files and no typing history.
- It never sends anything anywhere. Fixi contains no networking code and never connects to the internet. Checking your licence is done by Windows and the Microsoft Store, not by Fixi — see Purchases below.
-
It stays out of password fields it can recognise. Fixi asks Windows what kind of control you are typing into. If it is a password field, Fixi stops looking. Until Windows answers, Fixi changes nothing; if the answer is a password field, whatever it held while waiting is discarded.
Some apps do not tell Windows which kind of control is focused — notably apps built on Electron, such as Visual Studio Code, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Discord. In those apps Fixi cannot recognise a password field. What you type there is still held only in memory, and is never stored or sent anywhere, but Fixi may try to correct it. If you would rather Fixi stayed out of such an app entirely, add it under Settings → What to leave alone. Nothing you type in an app listed there is even held in memory.
- It collects no analytics, telemetry or usage statistics, and shows no advertising. Fixi's notifications say how many words were fixed, never which words.
What Windows and the Microsoft Store do
If Fixi ever crashes, Windows may create an error report, as it does for any app, depending on your settings under Windows Settings → Privacy & security → Diagnostics & feedback. Such a report can include part of Fixi's memory at the moment of the crash, which could include what you were typing. Microsoft may make crash information available to us through its developer dashboard; we use it only to fix the crash.
The Microsoft Store also gives us aggregate figures, such as how many people installed or bought Fixi. These do not identify you and contain nothing you typed.
What Fixi stores on your computer
Only these, all local, and all yours to change or remove at any time:
- Your settings — when to correct (how many words to wait for, how short a word to ignore), whether to play a sound or show a notification, the menu language, whether Fixi is paused, and that you have seen the first-run notice.
- Your “leave alone” lists — the applications and words you have added yourself under Settings → What to leave alone. You can remove any of them there.
- A few counts — how many corrections Fixi has made (less any you undid), and whether and when it has already reminded you about the trial or asked for a rating, so that it does not repeat itself. Numbers and dates only, never what was corrected. They stay on this computer and are never sent anywhere.
The setting Remember words I correct is off unless you turn it on. Fixi will only ever save words that you undid or flipped yourself — never words you merely typed — and only with that setting on. Any such word appears in the list of words, where you can remove it.
All of this is stored in the app's own folder on your computer. Uninstalling Fixi removes it.
Purchases
Fixi is sold through the Microsoft Store, including its free trial. The Store handles the purchase and tells Fixi only whether this copy is licensed and whether a trial is still running. We receive no payment details, and Fixi has no account, no sign-in and no user profile.
Near the end of the trial, Fixi reminds you twice that it can be bought. After the trial, when it notices a mix-up it is no longer allowed to fix, it says so, with a link to the Store. Once, after it has been working well for you, it may ask whether you would like to rate it; the rating itself happens in the Store's own window.
Children
Fixi is a typing utility with no social features, no content and no data collection. It is suitable for all ages.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be published here and the date at the top will change. Any change that would affect what Fixi observes or stores will also be announced in the app itself.
