Effective July 15, 2026
We do not collect analytics, advertising data, terminal contents, commands, or workspace names. Your app connects directly to the relay you run. If you enable notifications, limited device and delivery data is processed only to provide those alerts.
Scope
This policy covers the vmux command-line application and daemon, the optional vmux relay, the vmux Remote iPhone and iPad app, and this website.
vmux on your computer
vmux stores its configuration and runtime state locally on your computer so it can keep sessions, workspaces, panes, and paired devices working. That data is not sent to us.
vmux may check the public GitHub Releases API no more than once per day to see whether an update is available. This ordinary network request does not include your terminal contents, commands, workspaces, or session data.
vmux relay and Remote
The relay is optional and runs on your own host. vmux Remote connects directly to that relay over your Tailscale network or a local network. vmux does not proxy, store, or inspect those terminal sessions through a vmux-operated service.
The app stores the host details and pairing credentials needed for your connections in the device Keychain or Keystore. It does not include advertising SDKs, third-party analytics, or behavioral trackers. We do not receive terminal contents, hostnames, commands, workspace names, relay bearer credentials, or usage history from the app.
Remote notifications
If you allow notifications and pair with a compatible vmux relay, notification and network-delivery providers process a device notification identifier and minimal delivery information solely to deliver agent alerts. This information is not used for advertising, tracking, analytics, or profiling.
The notification service does not receive terminal output, commands, agent messages, hostnames, or workspace names. Registration information is retained only as needed to operate and secure notification delivery, and unregistering the device removes its active registration.
Files, photos, and clipboard content
If you choose to paste or upload an image through the relay, the selected content is sent to the paired host you control and saved there for the command or agent you chose. vmux does not receive a copy. The feature acts only after you initiate it.
This website
This website does not set analytics or advertising cookies and does not embed tracking scripts. Like most hosting providers, the platform serving the site may process basic request information such as an IP address for delivery, reliability, and security under its own privacy terms.
Third-party services
You may choose to use services such as GitHub, Apple, Google, or Tailscale with vmux. Notification and network-delivery providers also process requests needed to deliver alerts securely. Those services are independent and governed by their own terms and privacy policies. vmux does not control their practices.
Children’s privacy
vmux is a developer tool and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If these practices change, this page will be updated with a new effective date. Material changes will be described clearly before a release that depends on them.
