Privacy Policy

The short version

Clearway does not collect, store, or transmit any of your data. It runs entirely on your Mac, there is no account, and there is no backend.

Data collection

Clearway collects no personal information, usage data, analytics, or telemetry of any kind. The app does not create a profile of you and has no way to identify you.

Your files and git worktrees

Clearway reads and modifies files on your Mac that you explicitly point it at — typically repositories, git worktrees, and the shell sessions running inside them. These files stay on your machine. Nothing is uploaded, synced, or shared with any server operated by us.

Terminal sessions

Clearway is built on Ghostty, which is a terminal emulator. Any command you run inside it — including git operations, package managers, AI coding tools like Claude Code or Codex, or anything else — is software you launched, using your own credentials, connecting to whatever services those tools connect to. Clearway does not inspect, log, or relay the contents of your sessions.

Network access

Clearway itself does not make network requests for analytics, tracking, or feature gating. The only network traffic originating from within a Clearway window is traffic produced by the commands you run inside it.

Updates

New versions of Clearway are distributed through GitHub Releases. You decide when to download and install them.

Third-party services

Clearway does not integrate with third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, or crash reporting services.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated. Given that there is nothing to collect, we don't expect it to change often.
