Privacy Policy

Nothing. Clayshell has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The app does not send any information to its maker or to any third party.

• Your server list (names, addresses, ports, user names) is stored in the app's own folder on your device.
• Passwords, private keys and key passphrases are stored in the system Keychain, on this device only. They are not synced.
• Known host keys of servers you have trusted are stored in the app's own folder.
• Settings such as the look and the lock.

Deleting the app removes its folder. Keychain items can be removed by deleting each server in the app first.

• Only the SSH servers you add, when you connect to them (and, on the Mac, when you have chosen to watch a server for alerts).
• Links on the Settings screen (this website, the maker's pages) open in your browser, and only when you click them.

If you choose to install alerts on one of your servers, Clayshell writes a small script and its settings to that server, in your user's home folder. The settings contain the address or token of the channel you chose (Telegram, ntfy or a webhook). The script runs on your server and sends its messages from there, directly to that channel. Clayshell's maker never receives them. You can remove the script from the app at any time.

The optional lock uses the system's own check; the app never sees your face, fingerprint or passcode. On iPhone the system may ask for permission to find devices on your local network, because some of your servers may be on it.

Clayshell is a tool for people who run servers. It does not collect data from anyone, including children.

If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date. Questions: clayshell@opendmg.app.
