Privacy Policy

Vibing (“Vibing”, “the app”, “we”) is a local-first desktop application that helps you track and manage your local coding projects. This policy explains exactly what the app does and does not do with your information.

1. Information the app accesses (stays on your device)

When you choose folders to scan, Vibing reads the following locally:

• Project and folder names and paths;
• File and folder names, sizes, and modification times;
• Git status (branch, uncommitted changes, recent commit metadata) for projects that are Git repositories;
• Whether a CLAUDE.md file or a .claude / .codex directory exists;
• The contents of Markdown (.md) files you explicitly open in the in-app editor, so you can edit and save them;
• Your Claude Code and Codex session logs, read locally from ~/.claude and ~/.codex, used only to show live status, session history and usage statistics inside the app. This includes the prompts you typed and session metadata. It is used for no other purpose and never leaves your device.
• If you turn on Precise status (optional, off by default), Vibing adds a small hook to your local Claude Code settings (~/.claude/settings.json) and writes tiny local status files under ~/.claude; this information never leaves your device.

This information is stored only in a local database on your device. It is never transmitted to us.

2. Information the app does NOT collect

• We do not read the contents of secret or credential files (such as .env, .pem, id_rsa, and similar); only their existence is recorded.
• We do not collect personal information, usage analytics, or telemetry.
• We have no servers that receive your project data, and we never sell or share data, because we never receive it.

3. Network connections

Vibing works offline. It makes network connections only in these cases, and only the third party involved receives any data, under their own policies:

• Updates: Vibing checks GitHub for new versions and downloads updates you choose to install.
• Running Claude: when you launch Claude from Vibing, the Claude CLI (by Anthropic) runs on your machine and communicates with Anthropic’s services under Anthropic’s terms and privacy policy. Vibing neither controls nor receives that data.
• Opening external apps or links (e.g. your code editor, this website) at your request.

4. Third-party services

Using Claude through Vibing is subject to Anthropic’s Privacy Policy and Terms. Downloads and updates are hosted on GitHub, subject to GitHub’s terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

5. Data retention, backups, and deletion

All Vibing data lives locally on your device. Vibing does not create or store backups or copies of your files or data, and we never receive them. Keeping backups of your own work (for example, with version control) is your responsibility. To delete Vibing's data, remove the app and its local application-data directory; we hold no copy.

6. Children

Vibing is not directed to children under the age required by your local law (for example, 13, 14, or 16).

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date above will change to reflect the latest version.
