Effective date: July 7, 2026. This policy covers Terminaut for Apple Vision Pro and the optional Terminaut Companion app for macOS, developed by Piotr Filipp.
Terminaut collects no data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. We operate no servers that receive your data. Everything you enter stays on your device or travels directly between your device and servers you choose to connect to.
SSH host configurations (hostnames, ports, usernames) and session settings are stored in the app's local database on your device. Passwords you choose to save are stored only on your device. SSH private keys are generated inside your device's Secure Enclave and are not exportable — they never leave your device. Preferences (fonts, themes, keybindings, layout) are stored on your device. Deleting the app deletes this data.
SSH connections go directly from your device to the servers you configure, encrypted with the SSH protocol. We are not in that path. Web and code-editor panels load the URLs you enter, directly from your device to those sites — standard web requests, subject to those sites' own policies. Mac window streaming (with Terminaut Companion) transmits video and input events directly between your Vision Pro and your Mac over your local network only. Note: this local stream is not currently encrypted — use it on networks you trust.
Voice commands and dictation use Apple's Speech framework. When you activate the microphone, audio may be processed by Apple — on-device or on Apple's servers, under Apple's own privacy terms — solely to produce a transcription for you. We never receive your audio or transcripts. Microphone access is used only while you actively invoke voice input and can be revoked in Settings › Privacy.
The companion app captures only the specific Mac windows you select for streaming, only while streaming, using macOS's ScreenCaptureKit with your explicit Screen Recording permission. Captured frames are sent only to your Vision Pro on the local network; nothing is stored or sent anywhere else.
No analytics or telemetry, first- or third-party. No advertising or ad identifiers, and no tracking across apps or websites. No accounts, no sign-in, no cloud sync operated by us. No sale or sharing of personal information — we have none to sell.
Terminaut is a professional developer tool and is not directed at children.
If a future version ever changes these practices — for example, adding opt-in crash reporting — this policy and the App Store privacy label will be updated first, and the change will be called out in the release notes.
