Privacy first

Tools that don't watch you

Every tool I build starts from one rule: it should do its job without collecting data it doesn't need. Here is what that means in practice, and what it doesn't cover.

Why it matters

Most software on Windows is paid for by the data it gathers. Your file names, your photos, your receipts and your habits can end up in profiles you never agreed to. For tools that touch personal files, that's the wrong trade.

So the default here is simple. If a feature needs your data, it should run on your PC. If it doesn't need your data, it shouldn't ask for it.

What I aim for in every app

• No tracking. No advertising IDs, no analytics SDKs and no hidden telemetry in the apps themselves.
• No account. You shouldn't need to sign up to use a tool.
• Offline first. Work happens on your device. Where an optional download is needed, such as an AI model, it's stated up front.
• Plain-language policies. Each app has its own privacy policy. Where one exists, its site links to it.

About this website

This website is a set of static pages hosted on GitHub Pages. It only describes the apps; the apps are where the privacy promises above apply.

GitHub, as the host, keeps its own standard server logs under its own privacy policy. I can't turn those off, and I don't have access to them. If you want to know what it records, read GitHub's privacy statement.

This website uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are viewed. Google Analytics sets cookies and sends visit data, such as the pages you view, your approximate location and your device type, to Google. Read how Google uses data from sites that use its services. You can block it with your browser's privacy settings or with Google's opt-out add-on.

What this page doesn't cover

Each app is a separate product with its own policy, and the Microsoft Store has its own terms for downloads and purchases. If something here conflicts with an app's policy, the app's policy is the one that applies to that app.

Questions or problems

If an app doesn't match what's written here, use the "Report a bug" link on that project's card. That's the public place to raise it.
