DeskPetPrivacy
Your pet lives on your Mac, and DeskPet only goes online to check for updates.
On your Mac
Your pet, its needs and your settings are saved in ~/Library/Application Support/DeskPet. There is no account, no sync, no analytics, no ads and no crash reporting. Notifications and sounds are made on your Mac.
Online
Once a day, and when you choose Check for Updates, DeskPet asks GitHub whether there is a new version and downloads it from GitHub if you install it. GitHub sees your IP address and the app's version, and GitHub's privacy statement applies. DeskPet sends nothing else.
What it looks at
So your pet can stand on your windows, DeskPet checks where windows are and which app they belong to, never what's inside them. For greetings and guard mode it checks how long it's been since your last key press or click, never what you typed. The only permission it asks for is to show notifications.
This website
No cookies, no analytics and no trackers. The pet you adopt here, its name and where you put it, and your light or dark choice are kept in your browser and never sent anywhere. The site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard server logs, and the download comes from GitHub.
