Unified Dev is a native macOS application built for developers. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it. We keep this short and direct.
What we collect
Unified Dev is free and open source; there are no accounts, plans, or payments. We collect the minimum required to run the app:
- GitHub identity - your GitHub account email and OAuth token, obtained when you sign in and stored locally, encrypted, on your device. This is used to key your local encrypted database and never leaves it except to authenticate with GitHub.
- Anonymous usage counting - an aggregate, non-identifying ping when the app is used, so we know how many people the project reaches. No personal identifiers are attached.
- Usage analytics - anonymous crash reports and basic feature usage counters. You can opt out in Settings.
What we do not collect
- Your source code, repository content, or file contents.
- The content of your AI agent conversations. These are sent directly from your machine to the AI provider you configure (Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot). We are not in that data path.
- Your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket credentials. These are stored in your operating system keychain using AES-GCM encryption and never leave your device.
How we use your data
- To complete the GitHub OAuth sign-in flow.
- To count anonymous, aggregate usage.
- To diagnose crashes and improve the application.
We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising.
Third-party services
- AI providers - Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot. Your use of these providers is subject to their respective privacy policies. Unified Dev acts as a local client only.
- GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket - source code hosting providers. Your data on these platforms is governed by their own policies.
Data retention
Your GitHub identity is stored locally on your device, encrypted, for as long as you stay signed in - logging out clears it. We do not keep a server-side copy. To ask about anything we do retain, email [email protected].
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email.
