Privacy

Patchwright is a local-first macOS application. Its engine, task state, repository snapshots, approval records, and runtime evidence are stored on the user's Mac under ~/.patchwright by default. Repository worktrees and commands operate on paths selected or approved by the user.

Network activity

Patchwright connects to external systems only when a feature requires them:

  • GitHub sync and approved GitHub operations connect to the configured GitHub API. Read-only sync obtains the current gh auth token in memory and does not store that token in Patchwright's database or logs.
  • A configured GitHub App relay exchanges repository-scoped credentials and GitHub data with GitHub. GitHub App private keys remain operator-managed in Keychain or an owner-only protected file and must never be bundled with the app.
  • Codex actions start the separately installed Codex CLI. Its network use and data handling depend on the user's Codex configuration and provider terms.

GitHub and any configured model provider process data under their own privacy terms. Repository content, issue and pull-request data, prompts, diffs, command output, and other task context may be sent to those services when the user invokes the corresponding feature.

Patchwright's beta does not include a Patchwright-operated analytics or advertising service. Local diagnostic logs may contain repository names, file paths, command output, or task metadata; inspect and redact logs before sharing them.

User control

Quit Patchwright before removing its local data directory. Removing ~/.patchwright deletes Patchwright's local database, task state, evidence, configuration, and staged artifacts but does not delete data already held by GitHub, Codex, a model provider, or a repository remote. Revoke GitHub CLI or GitHub App access through the relevant GitHub account settings.

This disclosure describes the current beta. Material changes to data handling should update this document in the same public source revision as the change.
