Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Overview

Sixarms is designed with privacy as a core principle. Your development data stays on your device, and we collect minimal information necessary for the app to function.

Data Collection

Sixarms collects and processes the following data:

Local Data (stored on your device only)

  • Git Repository Data: Commit messages, file changes, and branch information from your local repositories
  • Daily Logs: AI-generated summaries of your development progress
  • User Preferences: App settings and configurations
  • Chat History: Conversations with the AI assistant

Data Sent to Third Parties

  • Grok AI API: Commit messages and code context are sent to xAI's Grok API for classification and summarization. No personal identifiable information is included in these requests.

Email Subscriptions

  • Email Address: If you subscribe to our Windows waitlist or updates, your email is stored securely in our database.
  • Usage: We only use your email to send product updates and release notifications.

Data Storage

All your development logs, settings, and chat history are stored locally on your device at:

~/Library/Application Support/com.sixarms.app/

We do not sync your data to any cloud server. Your data remains entirely under your control.
