Privacy Policy
In short: Staithe does not collect, sell or share your data. It has no account, no server, no analytics and no ads. Your hosts, passwords and keys stay on your device, in Staithe’s storage and the Keychain.
What Staithe does on your network
Staithe connects over SSH to the servers you add and runs the docker commands you see in the app, such as docker ps, docker logs or docker compose pull. The connection goes straight from your device to the address you enter; nothing goes through our servers, because there are none. While Staithe is open it refreshes what’s on screen, every 15 seconds on Containers and every 5 on a container’s detail, and it stops when it goes to the background. iOS asks for Local Network permission the first time Staithe connects to a host on your network.
Data stored on your device
- Saved hosts: names, addresses, ports, usernames, jump hosts and settings such as a docker path. Stored in Staithe’s own files and protected by iOS file encryption.
- Passwords and private keys: stored in the iOS Keychain on this device.
- Trusted host keys: the fingerprints of SSH servers you have accepted, so Staithe can warn you if a server’s identity changes.
- Command log: the commands Staithe ran on each host, how long they took, their exit codes and any error output, so you can see and copy them.
- Snapshots: each host’s last-seen containers (names, images, ports and states), so Staithe can show what changed since you last looked and draw lists while a host is offline. Snapshots never contain environment values.
- Preferences: settings such as how many log lines to load.
Deleting Staithe deletes its files. Keychain items may stay on the device after the app is deleted, as iOS keeps them. Staithe’s files may be included in your own iCloud or computer backups, as with any app; we cannot read those backups.
Purchases
Staithe is free for 14 days, then one purchase unlocks it for good. The trial is a $0 App Store product, so Apple, not Staithe, keeps its start date. The unlock is a one-time purchase processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. Apple tells the app only whether the trial has started and whether Staithe is unlocked. Apple’s handling of purchase data is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
What we don’t do
- No analytics, tracking or advertising SDKs.
- No account or sign-in, and no server of our own.
- No collection of your hosts, containers, commands, logs or output.
- Crash reports reach Apple only if you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in iOS Settings, and reach us in anonymised form.
Children
Staithe is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
