The short version: Every developer transform happens on your Mac. DevForge never sends the input, output, files, JWTs, tokens, or other content you use with its tools. It sends limited anonymous, content-free product analytics so we can understand whether workflows succeed and improve the app.
Your content stays on your Mac
JSON, Base64, URLs, hashes, UUIDs, timestamps, JWTs, and regular expressions are processed locally. DevForge does not upload the text you enter, generated results, file names or paths, clipboard contents, JWTs, tokens, prompts, queries, recordings, transcripts, stack traces, or raw error messages.
Anonymous product analytics
DevForge sends the following limited data to our Supabase-hosted analytics database:
- a random installation identifier generated by DevForge, plus a temporary session identifier;
- app version, build number, platform, event time, and event identifier;
- product interaction events, including which DevForge tool completed, failed, or was cancelled; whether a result was copied; and which app screen was viewed;
- foreground-active seconds per screen, excluding time while the app is in the background and capping idle time;
- bounded operational error codes and StoreKit purchase-flow outcomes.
The random installation identifier is not an Apple advertising identifier, is not connected to a name, email address, account, or other identity, and is used only to measure aggregate product use and retention. DevForge has no account system.
Purchases
The optional DevForge Pro one-time purchase is processed by Apple through StoreKit. The developer does not receive your payment card details. DevForge records content-free purchase-flow outcomes, product identifier, storefront currency, price in minor currency units, and Apple transaction identifier for analytics and purchase reliability. Apple handles payment information under Apple’s Privacy Policy.
How we use and protect analytics
We use analytics only to measure workflow completion, foreground-active use, time to first value, retention, reliability, and purchase conversion. Client access is insert-only: the app cannot read analytics records. Reporting views are restricted to the service role. Event names and properties are allowlisted, and database constraints reject content-like fields.
No tracking or advertising
DevForge does not use analytics for advertising, does not sell or rent data, and does not track you across apps, websites, or companies.
Retention and deletion
Deleting DevForge removes its local preferences, including the random installation identifier, according to macOS behavior. To request deletion of analytics data under our control, email the address below and describe the request as “DevForge analytics deletion.” Because DevForge does not collect account contact information, we may be unable to identify a specific anonymous installation unless you provide its installation identifier.
Children
DevForge is a developer utility and is not directed to children under 13.
