Overview
Termio is local-first by design. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics SDK and no telemetry. Your terminals, your code and your agent conversations run and stay on your own Mac — they never pass through servers of ours, because there are none in the product's data path.
What we don't collect
- Terminal content, code, prompts or agent conversations
- Personal information — no names, emails or accounts
- Usage analytics or behavioral tracking of any kind
- Crash reports or device fingerprints
What Termio stores
Settings and session metadata are stored locally on your Mac, in your user library. They stay on your device and are removed when you delete the app and its data.
When Termio touches the network
The Mac app makes exactly two kinds of connections of its own:
- Auto-updates. Termio periodically checks our download server for a newer version (powered by Sparkle). The check carries no account or device identifier — like any HTTPS request, the server sees an IP address and the app version being asked about, nothing more.
- Your own usage dashboards.If you open the Usage view, Termio reads the credentials your agent CLIs already keep on your Mac and queries the provider's own usage endpoint directly from your machine. Those credentials go only where they already go — to their own provider — and never to us.
The coding agents you run inside Termio (Claude Code, Codex and friends) talk to their own providers under your own accounts and their own privacy policies. Termio does not proxy, intercept or store that traffic.
The iOS app
Termio for iPhone connects to exactly one place: the Termio app on your own Mac, over your local network or a tunnel you configure. There is no relay service in between. The camera is used only to scan the pairing QR code shown on your Mac; scanning happens on-device and no images are stored or transmitted. The iOS app contains no third-party SDKs, no ads and no analytics.
Website & cookies
termio.sh uses no analytics, no tracking pixels and sets no cookies. That is also why you don't see a cookie banner. Our hosting provider keeps standard, short-lived server logs (IP address, user agent) to operate the service, as any web host does.
Data sharing
We do not share your data with anyone — we hold none to share.
Your rights
Regulations like the GDPR and CCPA give you rights over data a company holds about you. Termio's answer is structural: since we collect nothing, there is nothing to request, export or delete on our side. Everything lives on your devices, under your control.
Changes to this policy
If this policy materially changes, we'll say so in the changelog and update the date at the top of this page.
