Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 July 2026

Offsite is a terminal and remote-development client for iOS. It connects to servers that you control and does not run any account system of its own. This policy explains what data the app handles and who, if anyone, it is shared with.

Data that stays on your device

The server connection details you enter — hostnames, usernames, ports — and any credentials such as passwords or SSH keys are stored encrypted in the iOS Keychain on your device. They are used only to establish your own SSH connections and are never transmitted to us or to any third party other than the server you choose to connect to.

Push notifications

If you enable notifications, Offsite uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (a Google service) to deliver alerts about your sessions — for example when a task or coding agent finishes. To do this, a device push token (an identifier tied to your app installation) is processed. It is not linked to your identity and is not used for advertising or tracking.

Crash and diagnostic data

Offsite uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymous crash reports and basic diagnostic information so we can find and fix bugs. This data is not used to identify you.

Voice dictation (optional)

If you use the optional voice-to-text feature, the audio you record is sent to OpenAI's API for transcription using the API key you configure. That audio is processed under OpenAI's own privacy terms and is not stored by Offsite. If you never use dictation, no audio ever leaves your device.

What we do not do

• No accounts, no sign-up, no profile.
• No advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
• We never sell or rent your data.

Third-party services

• Google Firebase (Cloud Messaging & Crashlytics) — firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• OpenAI (only if you use voice dictation) — openai.com/policies/privacy-policy

Retention and your choices

Credentials and settings live on your device and are removed when you delete the app. You can turn off notifications at any time in iOS Settings, which stops push-token processing. Crash reporting stops when the app is removed.

Children

Offsite is a developer tool and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
