Nothing to collect.

What we collect

Nothing. The developer of Rundeck receives no data from the apps: no usage statistics, no crash reports sent by us, no identifiers, no location. There is no Rundeck account and nothing to sign in to.

What travels between your devices

The iPhone sends pointer movement, clicks, keys, text you type, and commands such as opening an app. The Mac sends back what the pages show: its brightness and volume, the apps on it, the track that is playing, its health figures, and — if you share them — the titles, recent steps and permission requests of coding agents running on it. Mac health, open apps, now playing and coding agents can each be withheld in the Mac app's settings.

This goes directly from your iPhone to your Mac over your local network, protected by a key that belongs to your iPhone alone. It is not encrypted on the local network, so use Rundeck on networks you trust. If you give the iPhone an address for your Mac on Tailscale or another VPN, the same connection goes through that VPN instead, under its own encryption and its own privacy policy.

Apple Watch

The watch app talks only to your iPhone, over Apple's WatchConnectivity, and your iPhone carries each press on to your Mac. Nothing from the watch goes anywhere else.

Notifications

While Rundeck is connected to your Mac, it can tell you when a coding agent needs you. These notifications are made on your iPhone, from what your Mac sent it; nothing passes through a server of ours. When your iPhone is locked, iOS may show them on your Apple Watch.

What is stored

• On your iPhone: the names of your Macs, any away-from-home addresses you gave them, and your iPhone's keys, in the Keychain; your settings, such as page order.
• On your Mac: the paired iPhones, with a fingerprint (SHA-256 digest) of each key rather than the key itself, and when each was last seen; your settings.

Rundeck Pro

Rundeck Pro is sold by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details or your Apple Account; the app only learns from StoreKit whether Rundeck Pro is active.

This website

rundeck.app runs on Cloudflare and counts its own visits, so we can see what people read and download. For each page view and download it keeps the page, the time, the page that linked here, the country and city Cloudflare reports, the network provider, the browser's language and its user-agent string. It does not keep your network address: to count unique visitors it keeps a one-way hash of the address and browser, mixed with a value that changes every day, so a visit cannot be linked to the next day's or traced back to you. The site sets no cookies, runs no third-party trackers, and the count stays with us. The download page also uses your address for a few seconds to limit how often one address can download the Mac app, and Cloudflare keeps short-lived logs to operate the site.

None of this applies to the Rundeck apps, which collect nothing.

Screen sharing and the magnifier

Sharing your iPhone's screen with the Mac, and the magnifier on the Mac, both stay between your two devices. Screenshots the Mac takes at your request are saved on the Mac, where macOS keeps screenshots.

Children

Rundeck is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone.
