This Privacy Policy explains how Skippr ("we", "us") handles information. The short version: Skippr has no user accounts and no backend servers of its own, so there is almost nothing for us to collect. This document is provided for transparency and is not legal advice.
1. Who we are
Skippr is published by Alexandre Joly (EI), France. For any privacy question, contact us at contact@skippr.sh.
2. What the app does
Skippr is an iPad and iPhone terminal that connects over SSH and mosh to a development machine you control, so you can run AI coding agents (such as Claude Code or Codex) and preview your dev server. The connection is directly between your device and your machine.
3. Information we collect
On your device only. Your SSH identities (private keys) are generated and stored in the iOS Keychain, protected by Face ID, with an optional Secure Enclave mode. Host configurations, themes and app preferences are stored locally on your device. None of this is transmitted to us — we have no server to receive it.
Push notification token. If you enable notifications, Apple issues a push token that identifies the device installation, not you. The token is stored on your device and written to your own host (under ~/.skippr). When an agent finishes or needs input, a script on your host sends the alert through the Expo push service to Apple. We operate no server and never receive or store this token.
What we do NOT collect
- No account, name, email or password (there is no sign-up).
- No analytics, tracking, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs.
- No contents of your terminals, files, diffs or browsing — these flow directly between your device and your own machine and never reach us.
- No SSH keys or passwords (they never leave your device).
- No location, contacts or device advertising identifiers.
4. How we use information
The limited data above is used solely to operate the app: deliver the notifications you asked for. We do not profile you, sell data, or use any data for advertising.
AI processing. Skippr does not run AI models and does not send your data to any AI provider. The coding agents you use run on your machine; their handling of your code is governed by the terms of whichever agent and model provider you choose.
5. Cookies and the website
The skippr.sh website uses no tracking or advertising cookies and no analytics. A theme preference (light/dark) may be stored locally in your browser; it is not used to track you.
6. Third-party services
- Apple — app distribution and push delivery. See Apple's privacy policy.
- Expo — routing of push notifications to your device. See Expo's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — hosting of the skippr.sh website.
7. Data retention
We retain no personal data because we operate no server. On-device data lives until you delete it or uninstall the app. The push token lives on your own host (under ~/.skippr) until you remove it.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your personal data, and to object to processing. Because Skippr operates no backend and stores none of your personal data on any server, there is nothing on our side to access, export or delete. You exercise these rights directly: app data lives in the iOS Keychain and local storage (remove it by deleting the app), and the push token and integration files live under ~/.skippr on your own host (remove them with rm -rf ~/.skippr). You may still contact us at contact@skippr.sh with any question, and lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in France, the CNIL).
9. International transfers
Apple and Expo may process push-related data on servers outside the EEA. Such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) provided by those processors.
10. Children
Skippr is a developer tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
11. Security
Keys are stored in the iOS Keychain and gated by Face ID. Connections use SSH and mosh encryption end to end between your device and your machine. Because we hold no central store of user data, there is no server-side database of yours to breach.
12. Changes
We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly. Significant changes will be highlighted in the app or on the website.
