Four things reach us, each for a reason.

A shared report

Summary numbers and your verdict at a link nobody can guess. No name, no date.

Your consent, given when you confirm the send

Public statistics

A small message of ranges, added to counters, not stored as a row. Contributions cannot be verified and anyone could inflate them, so the figures are indicative.

Your consent, given when you tick the box

Early access request

Work email, fleet size, OS mix and device tool, to contact you.

Your request, when you send the form

Abuse protection

A salted hash of your IP and a counter, for ten minutes. We do not store your IP address.

Our interest in keeping the service available

Nothing else is collected. No analytics scripts, no cookies, no accounts.

Everything has an end date, or says why not.

  • Shared report
    90 days by default (you choose 30, 90 or 365)
  • A deleted report, in backups
    up to 30 days
  • Statistics counters
    kept; after the quarter plus 30 days they cannot be singled out
  • Statistics network hash
    a keyed hash per IPv4 address or IPv6 /48, until the first contribution after the quarter ends
  • Abuse protection hash
    10 minutes
  • Early access request
    until you ask us to delete it

  3. Lost the link? Write to usSend the link to [email protected]. We delete it.

The controller statement.

Controller

Rick Hakkaart runs SizeMyLaptop and decides why and how personal data is used.

Legal basis

Share: your consent when you confirm. Delete the report to withdraw. Statistics: your consent when you tick the box. During the first 30 days the operator's backups could in theory isolate a single contribution; after that it cannot be singled out or withdrawn. Early access: your request.

Processor and your rights

Cloudflare hosts the site and database for us, as our processor. Ask for access or deletion at [email protected], or complain to the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, the Dutch data protection authority.

Get SizeMyLaptop

  1. Open Terminal

    Press Command and Space, type Terminal, press Return.

  2. Paste it and press Return

    One command installs the tool, checks its checksum, then starts recording. No password, no admin rights.

    curl -fsSL https://sizemylaptop.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --start

    Rather read it first? Download it, read it, then run it:

    curl -fsSLO https://sizemylaptop.com/install.sh && less install.sh && bash install.sh --start
  3. Done. Keep working as usual.

    After one to two weeks, run baseline report in Terminal (the installer prints the exact command). It stops recording by itself after 14 days and the report opens in your browser.

Free. Nothing leaves your Mac unless you click Share or tick Statistics. No password, no admin rights. Needs Python 3 (a Mac without it shows Apple's one-time install window); installs nothing else.
