EqualStream processes audio that is, by definition, sensitive — it is whatever you happen to be listening to. The short version: it never leaves your browser, because there is nowhere for it to go — and nothing at all is stored on your device.
What EqualStream collects
Nothing. There is no account to create, no form to fill in, no analytics script, and no server that EqualStream talks to. The site is a set of static files; once your browser has them, it makes no further requests to us.
What happens to the audio
When you press Start, your browser — not EqualStream — opens its share dialog and asks which tab you want to share. Whatever you choose is handed to the page as a live MediaStream.
That stream is connected to a Web Audio graph inside your browser: the equalizer's filters, the effects chain, a master gain, and an analyser that drives the visualizer. Every one of those nodes runs on your own machine. The audio is not buffered to disk, not recorded, and not sent anywhere. When you close the tab or press Escape, the stream is stopped and the graph is disposed — there is nothing left to delete.
The video track
Sharing tab audio through getDisplayMedia requires requesting a video track as well; the specification does not allow audio on its own. EqualStream asks for the smallest, slowest video it can (320×180 at one frame per second) purely to satisfy that requirement. The frames are never read, never displayed, and never leave the tab.
What is stored on your device
Nothing. EqualStream sets no cookies and writes nothing to localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB. It previously kept a single item remembering your light-or-dark preference; the interface is now dark only, so even that is gone. The site holds no state between visits of any kind.
Third parties
There are none. Fonts are self-hosted and served from this domain, so no request goes to Google Fonts or any other origin while you use the site. There are no ads, no trackers, no embedded widgets, and no cookies.
Verifying this
You do not have to take the claim on trust. Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use EqualStream normally: after the initial page and asset loads, no requests are made. The browser's own sharing indicator also shows exactly what is being shared, and stops it the moment you click it.
