Privacy Policy

Effective 11 November 2026

Herdlet does not collect your data. The developer of Herdlet receives nothing from the app: no account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no crash reports sent by the app itself.

What stays on your iPhone

• Your saved machines: the name, host name, port, user name and session name you enter, and the fingerprint of each computer’s SSH host key.
• One SSH key that the app makes on first launch. The private key is kept in the iOS Keychain and never leaves the device. You copy the public key to your own computers yourself.
• Your settings, such as the theme, the text size and the sort order.

Deleting the app removes this data.

What the app connects to

Herdlet connects only to the computers you add, over SSH, an encrypted connection. What you see in the app (terminal contents, agent transcripts, folder names) comes from those computers and goes straight to your iPhone. What you type goes straight to those computers. None of it passes through a server run by the developer, because there is none.

The interactive demo on this website runs in your browser with sample data. It connects to nothing, and what you type there is not sent or stored.

Third parties

Herdlet contains no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking code, and shares no data with third parties. Programs that you run on your own computers, including coding agents, have their own privacy terms. Apple may give the developer anonymous usage and crash statistics if you have agreed to share them in your iPhone’s settings.

Children

Herdlet is a tool for software developers and is not directed at children.

Changes

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