Privacy Policy
Last updated September 9, 2026
UnIdle is made by Ramadan Pajaziti, trading as MergeHub ("we," "us," "our"). UnIdle is built to be local-only: it doesn't require an account, doesn't run analytics, and doesn't read your screen, your terminal, or your code. This page lists, exhaustively, the few places any data does leave your Mac.
1. What UnIdle itself sends
| What | When | What's sent |
|---|---|---|
| Update checks | Automatically, in the background, and when you click "Check for Updates" | A request to our appcast file, hosted on GitHub. This uses Apple's standard Sparkle update framework, which may include basic, non-identifying details such as your macOS version and the app version you're running — the same information any app update mechanism typically sends. No personal data, no unique device identifier tied to you. |
| Phone push alerts (Pro, opt-in, off by default) | Only if you turn this on in Settings | A notification's title and message text (e.g. an agent name and its state) sent to the public ntfy.sh service, addressed to a randomly generated topic string that acts as a shared secret between UnIdle and your phone. We don't send your name, email, or any other identifying information — just that message. |
Outside of those two cases, UnIdle makes no network requests. Agent detection, activity tracking, and alert logic all run locally on your Mac and never leave it.
2. What Paddle collects
If you purchase Pro, your payment is processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record — not by us. Paddle collects whatever billing information is needed to process your payment (name, email, payment method, and tax-relevant details) under its own Privacy Policy. We receive only what's needed to deliver and support your license — we don't receive or store your card details.
3. What we don't do
- No accounts, no sign-in, no cloud sync.
- No Accessibility permission, no screen-scraping, no reading terminal or editor contents.
- No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs bundled in the app.
- No cookies or trackers on this website — it's a static page with no analytics.
- No selling or sharing of any data, because we don't collect any to sell.
4. Local data
UnIdle stores its own settings and license status locally on your Mac, using standard macOS mechanisms (UserDefaults, Keychain, and Application Support). This data never leaves your device and is removed if you delete the app and its associated files.
5. Changes to this policy
If what UnIdle sends or collects changes, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date above will reflect it.
