Privacy

Last updated October 2026

Eddie is built to work on your computer, not on our servers. There's no account, no analytics and no tracking. This page lists everything Eddie reads and the few things that ever leave your computer, first for the Mac app and then for Eddie for Windows.

Eddie for Mac

What Eddie reads, on your Mac only

• Clipboard. Your last five copies, stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Eddie. Items that password managers mark as concealed are never saved. You can pause or clear the history at any time.
• Notes. The note you type, saved in the same folder.
• Coding agents. If you connect them, events from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI hooks (including the first 300 characters of your prompt and the agent's latest reply, so the notch can show what each session is doing), their session transcripts and logs (for status, token counts and cost), and your running processes and listening ports (for memory, CPU and cleanup).
• Now Playing. The title, artist and artwork of what's playing, so it can be shown beside the notch.
• Activity timing. How many seconds since your last keypress or mouse movement, so Eddie knows when you've been working a while. It never records what you type.

What leaves your Mac

• License checks. Your license key and your Mac's name go to Dodo Payments, our payment provider, when you activate, then again about once a day to confirm the license is still valid.
• Update checks. Eddie asks our website whether a newer version exists. That request carries your IP address and app version like any web request. You can turn automatic checks off in Settings.
• Connections you set up. If you add a mail account, Eddie connects straight from your Mac to your mail provider over IMAP. It reads only each new message's sender, subject and date, never the body, and never marks anything as read. If you connect Stripe, Dodo Payments or Polar, Eddie calls their API directly with the read-only key you provide. None of this passes through us.

Passwords and API keys are stored in your macOS Keychain.

Deleting your data on a Mac

Everything Eddie stores lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Eddie and your Keychain entries named "Eddie". Delete the app and that folder to remove it all. Disconnecting an agent in Settings removes Eddie's hooks from that agent's configuration.

Eddie for Windows

Eddie for Windows is installed from the Microsoft Store. It has no Eddie account, no analytics and no tracking.

What Eddie reads, on your PC only

• Local data. Settings, notes, clipboard history and agent events are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Eddie on your PC. You can pause or clear the clipboard history at any time.
• Coding agents. If you connect them, events from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI hooks. These can include a short excerpt of your prompt and the agent's latest reply, so Eddie can show what each session is doing. They stay on your PC.
• Running processes. Eddie sees your running processes to show their CPU and memory use. It doesn't record your keystrokes.

What leaves your PC

• License checks. Your license key and your PC's name are kept in Windows Credential Manager, under names starting with "Eddie/". They go to Dodo Payments, our payment provider, when you activate, then about once a day to confirm the license is still valid.
• Update checks. Eddie asks our website whether a newer version exists. That request carries your IP address and app version like any web request.
• Connections you set up. If you add a mail account, Eddie connects from your PC to your mail provider over IMAP. It reads only each new message's sender, subject and date, never the body, and never marks anything as read. If you connect Stripe, Dodo Payments or Polar, Eddie calls their API with the read-only key you provide. None of these calls pass through our servers.

Deleting your data on Windows

Uninstall Eddie and delete the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Eddie folder to remove its local data. Entries in Windows Credential Manager whose names start with "Eddie/" are removed separately, from Credential Manager. Disconnecting an agent in Settings removes Eddie's hooks from that agent's configuration.

Payments

Purchases are handled by Dodo Payments, who act as merchant of record. They process your payment details under their own privacy policy. We receive your name, email address and order details so we can send your license and support you.

Your purchase record

On either platform, to have your purchase record deleted, email us.
