What leaves your Mac

Privacy

Flintty is a terminal. What you type and what it shows stay on your Mac. This page lists everything that does leave it, and nothing else does.

The app

No account. You never sign in to use Flintty.
Update check, once a day. Flintty asks download.flintty.com whether a newer version exists. The request carries the Flintty version number and, like any request on the internet, your IP address. It sends no system profile and nothing about what you do in the app. We use the number of these requests per version to know how many people use Flintty, not who they are. Downloading an update is a second request to the same place.
Nothing else. Commands, output, typed text, file and folder names, hostnames, usernames, your vault and your notes never leave your Mac. The vault is stored in the macOS Keychain. Plugin panels are blocked from reaching the internet.
Agent status and notifications work on your Mac only. An agent tells Flintty its state through the terminal itself; a notification goes through macOS and holds no command or output.
No analytics in the app. If we add them later, they will be off until you turn them on in Settings, and this page will say exactly what they send.
Programs you run in Flintty (an AI agent, ssh, git) talk to the network as they would in any terminal. That is between you and them.

Visit counts. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views, the page you came from, your country and your browser type without cookies and without following you across sites.
Hosting and downloads. The site and the download are served by Cloudflare, which handles your IP address to deliver them and to protect the site from attacks. We count downloads, not people.
No fonts, scripts or images are loaded from anyone else.

Cloudflare, as the host of the site, the download and the update check. We sell nothing to anyone, and we have no advertising.
