Privacy Policy

Spalt is a Mac app with no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Arch Rainey is responsible for this policy; questions go to [email protected].

What stays on your Mac

Your repositories, settings, notes and logs stay on your Mac. Tokens and keys you give Spalt are kept in the macOS Keychain.

What leaves your Mac

Only to services you connect yourself, with your own sign-in, when you use them:

• GitHub, Jira and Confluence — to show and update your pull requests, checks and issues.
• Your git remotes — when you fetch, pull, push or clone.
• An AI provider — only if you turn AI on for a repository. Spalt then sends the changes or notes you ask it to work on, with secrets and ignored files removed. That provider’s own privacy policy applies.
• The update check — once a day, Spalt asks spalt.dev whether a new version exists. Like any web request, this shares your IP address, along with the app’s version. You can turn it off in Settings → About.

Nothing about your code, files or repositories is ever sent to us.

When something goes wrong

Errors are logged on your Mac only. Nothing is sent automatically; if you want help, you can copy a report from the app and share it yourself.

The website

spalt.dev uses no cookies and no analytics. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which sees visitors’ IP addresses — see Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Your rights

We keep no personal data about you on any server. If you email us, your message is used only to reply; ask and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published at spalt.dev/privacy.
